I remember when I was in the Republican Party and Matt Lewis was in the Republican Party, and I'm very pleased that he can still write stuff that I agree wholeheartedly with.

I promise, I'm not going to start being super political on Bluesky. But I feel just like Matt says below. > This is how the American world order goes. Not with some grand severing, but with a slow, steady trickle of moments like this.

Trump didn’t invent the American tradition of ditching our friends like a bad prom date (ask the Kurds, Afghan interpreters or anyone who sat through “Rambo: First Blood Part II”). But since returning to office, he’s taken this habit & made it official U.S. policy… www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Oh, this is rich. The problem is you, Jerry from Accounts Payable! Maybe we should send this email to the politicians. “What did you accomplish this week? Are egg prices down, yet? Has Russia left Ukraine? No response? Great, pack your bags.”

Trump now runs the Kennedy Center? Like a man who buys a 5-star restaurant & replaces the chef w/ a guy who deep-fries Pop-Tarts, he’s remaking high art in his own image (good news for Lee Greenwood!). Somewhere in Palm Beach, Andrew Lloyd Webber felt a strange chill run down his spine…

The problem with the “government should run like a business” mantra is that, in business, when things go south, you can declare bankruptcy, pivot to selling NFTs or just ghost your investors. The USA doesn’t have a “going out of business” option ... www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

You can’t gut FEMA and then reboot it right before hurricane season. You can’t lay off half the FBI and then roll out a “patch” to protect national security. And if you’ve decimated the CDC, there’s no “undo” button available when the next pandemic hits. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Elon Musk, the tech bro & part-time sperm donor, has allegedly cranked out his 13th kid. Musk, at 53, has fathered more kids than some small villages, with a lineup of moms as diverse as his portfolio. Once again, the "family values" folks have set a standard I could never hope to reach.

Trump kicked off his 2024 campaign with the word “retribution.” That was the pitch. Not unity, not hope, not even a catchy jingle — just straight-up vengeance. And guess what? He’s delivering. thehill.com/opinion/whit...

After he was elected, I wrote that (as a conservative) I would probably like some of the things coming from a Trump presidency. Ending DEI in the federal gov’t, and refusing to encourage or fund sex transition surgery — for minors — seems to fit that category…
