*I meant "see." But "wee" is a pretty funny typo.

Removing the tariff drag on the economy and fiscal stimulus via a refund program in the third quarter could save a bunch of GOP congressional seats in November. But Trump is suffering too much narcissistic injury right now to wee that silver lining.

Did DOJ lawyers violate Rule of Prof'l Conduct 3.3(d) with this affidavit? "In an ex parte proceeding, a lawyer shall inform the [judge] of all material facts known to the lawyer that will enable the [judge] to make an informed decision, whether or not the facts are adverse."

He also received an MPP from Harvard, which took him four years to get, but mailed his diploma back in 2022 as a political stunt.

Mr. Dernbach and his superiors should be reminded that Rule 4.4(a) of the Rules of Professional Conduct for lawyers says

"(a) In representing a client, a lawyer shall not use means that have no substantial purpose other than to embarrass, delay, or burden a third person . . . ."

Why is he being tested for this in the first place? Do any MDs want to suggest what conditions call for testing testosterone levels? Is is just because he's falling asleep in public meetings all the time? I have a feeling that it's not a regular screening test for 79 year old men.

Apparently when Turkey made its 1st military intervention in Cyprus in '64 LBJ warned the Turks not to expect help from NATO if the USSR invaded its territory. Not sure of the details or rationale, since Cyprus has never been in NATO, despite hosting UK bases & being home to ethnic Greeks & Turks.

The NATO treaty is basically silent on that point. Article 7 says it does not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the UN Charter. Greece and Turkey have engaged in low-level armed conflict against each other, notably in Cyprus (not part of NATO) in 1974.

AHEF was first on my results list (but only once and below the AI-generated discussion), followed by the Gilder Lehrman Institute entry. So more or less a normal Google search result.

Thank you for helping make this happen.

How about @yalesph.bsky.social? Will it take back Harvey Risch?

Trump signs order to recreate Department of War President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday, renaming the Department of Defense as the Department of War. Newsweek's live blog is closed.

At the 9/5/2025 press conference announcing the renaming of the Department of Defense as the Department of War, Hegseth used the similar phrase, "maximum lethality, not tepid legality." That's "maximum," not "reasonable," "necessary" or "justified." Reference: www.newsweek.com/trump-depart...

Can @kenwhite.bsky.social or another criminal law practitioner weigh in on whether a federal habeas corpus petition is a viable means of getting him out before December considering the 1A free speech and 8A excessive bail issues involved?

At least she didn't call anybody deplorable. I remember when the GOP thought that term was an outrage.

Also, in the Kubrick film, Dr. Strangelove was a German - American political scientist, who many people thought was a thinly-veiled Kissinger years before Nixon made him his NSA. He wasn't a natural scientist at all. Maybe Thiel should choose a different fictional character like Dr. Moreau.

How long before BW brings back Lara Logan and puts her behind the CBS Evening News anchor desk?

Of course, no one can point to any authorization from Congress for the Treasury to put Trump's image (or that of any living person) on a coin. They're just counting on no one stopping them from doing whatever they want.

That's a picture of the Harvard Coop. The @harvardbookstore.bsky.social is a couple of blocks down Mass Ave.

The Teamsters endorsed Nixon in 1960 as payback for JFK and RFK Sr.'s roles in Senate investigations of the union's corruption under Jimmy Hoffa, Sr. They endorsed Nixon again in 1972 after he pardoned Hoffa and Reagan and GHW Bush. A long history of being Republican-friendly on the national level.

Apparently, DJT's orders are still secret. Clinton's rules of engagement were supposedly crafted to protect CIA officers from facing murder charges under US law. I doubt there is any credible attempt to apply rules that give the civilians involved the ability to surrender under Trump's orders.

Down the chain of command the CIA and its Latin American military allies generally ignored the rules of engagement in each of the 15 ADP shootdowns and had some serious communications issues the day the missionaries were shot down. Now, the US is going straight to lethal force.

These attacks echo the CIA's Airbridge Denial Program, 1995-2001, which culminated in the Peruvian AF's shootdown of a plane carrying American missionaries, leaving 2 dead and 3 wounded. The ADP's rules of engagement required attempts at forcing suspect planes to land before using lethal force.

Either the U. of Fla. School of Law didn't bother to include Kent v. Dulles (1958) and Aptheker v. Secretary of State (1964) as part of the con law syllabus or Rubio slept through class that day. This is all a replay of McCarthyism and the MAGAs are the Leo court will come to different conclusions.

Fox News Must Fire Brian Kilmeade Now The unhoused, including 1.5 million women and children, and 33,000 veterans, are some of the most vulnerable citizens in our country. Many have a long history of abuse, trauma, and neglect. They have ...

In a sane world, Kilmeade's outrageous statement would be covered by every major media organization and condemned on multiple newspaper editorial pages. At this point, it's not even on their radar.

Leon Trotsky wasn't killed by Fascists. George Lincoln Rockwell wasn't killed by Communists. Whether it's due to rivalry or a desire to purge ideological impurity, you can't rule out people who are apparently in alignment with an assassination victim as potential perpetrators.

Where is the condemnation of this outrage from American religious leaders, the "pro-life" movement or newspaper editorial writers? I'm hearing crickets.

Father, you are practically a lone voice in the Church speaking out against this. The Fox studio is about a 7 min walk from St. Patrick's Cathedral, but where is Cardinal Dolan's condemnation of this call for involuntary euthanasia from Kilmeade (who apparently was raised Catholic)? Or any bishop?
