Cogito Ergo Non Serviam

 

Latest Commentary:

Schumeer Calls for Netanyahu to Go -- US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) went to the floor of the Senate yesterday and called for the removal of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by way of a general election. This is overdue, but the Israeli government immediately demanded an apology. They can have it when they establish an embassy in the capital of the Palestinian state. The fact is that Mr. Schumer said nothing incorrect, and as a Jew himself, brought a moral clarity to the situation that has been lacking in Tel Aviv and most of Washington. Indeed, this is the first step in the US drawing away from the current Israeli government, which could well change the entire US-Israeli relationship in the long run.  [15 March]

Ken Buck Quits House, GOP Majority Thinner -- Ken Buck (R-CO) had announced some time ago that he was not running for re-election in the Fourth Congressional District in Colorado. This week, he surprised just about everyone in Washington by announcing he was out of Congress by close of business tomorrow. As a result, there will be a primary election to nominate his successor and a special election to find someone to finish off his term. This reduces the Republican majority in the House further. The party can lose only two votes if the GOP wants to pass anything. Two more seats falling could put the gavel in the hands of Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats.  [14 March]

Ex-Tory Chair Now Reform MP -- Lee Anderson used to be the Deputy Chairman of the British Conservatives. That kind of position usually indicated that the officeholder is a loyal party man or woman. However, he made some comments not long ago about Islamists controlling the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. The Tories withdrew their whip, and over the week-end, he told them he was no longer a member of the Conservatives. He has become the first MP for the Reform Party. He will magnify the troubles the Conservatives have on their right with Reform, and there is a chance, it will damage the party so badly that it may not govern again for 10 years. (12 March)

Trump Purges RNC -- There is a tradition in American politics that the party presidential nominee gets to pick the leader of the party apparatus. Usually that means replacing the chairperson and perhaps a few other key positions. The Republican Party is in the middle of a major purge that began over the week-end. The long-expected departure of Ronna McDaniel, relative of Mitt Romney (who is not one of the Defendant\\\\\'s favorite people). She left Friday and replacing her was North Carolina GOP Chairman Michael Whately. His co-chair is Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, the dumber son of the former president. Now, reports are 60 more people are going. The Trump takeover is probably complete.. [11 March]

UK Budget Disappoints Tories -- The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, presented his budget to the House of Commons and disappointed the backbenches of his Conservative Party. He did make cuts to government revenues, but they were not the huge reductions that the 1922 Committee want. The Five Pledges upon which their re-election as Her Majesty\\\\\'s Government are not falling into place, so the thought of bribing the electorate was appealing. Instead, this budget is more appalling. (7 March)
