I am truly puzzled that at least some of the counter-terrorism efforts in Europe and, presumably here in America is to prevent radicalized Muslims from going to Syria and Iraq and wherever else they want to go. Isn’t that exactly backwards? By allowing them to leave we immediately identify them as radicals, we can notify…

Why I Am Not A Trump Supporter
It is certainly not because he has confounded the Republican establishment at every turn! That amuses me to no end, and I hope that the precedent that he has set will continue until the Republican party has been purged of the professional political class that has done so much damage to our republic (no, I’m…
Prayers For Brussels.
A moment to send my prayers to Brussels. I can only hope it doesn’t get any worse. I’m sure we’ll endlessly hear about “outreach,” “not all Muslims,” and “tolerance” when what we really need to focus on is how the Paris attacker (who I’d place bets is involved) managed to elude authorities. There is no outreach…
The Media Needs To Stop Acting Like Cuba Is “quaint” By Choice
On @CNN now, 'The Wonder List'. It's a visit to Cuba to see it before tourism takes hold again. — Niedermeyer's Dead Horse (@NDH_j_m_f) March 21, 2016 I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this. And I only saw one 3 minute clip from this show. NPR is even worse describing the pictures…
#NeverTrump Phase II: Delegation Doctrine
Consider this a follow-up to yesterday’s post. If we’re serious about the #NeverTrump movement, then we need to consider that it may go all the way through the convention before we can succeed. Any plan does not survive first encounter with the enemy, and Cruz’s “beat him at the ballot box” is no different. Cruz…
If Trump Doesn’t Get the Nomination Did the GOP Overrule voters?
I’m seeing this thrown around a lot over the last few days. Especially by Trump surrogates insisting that if he doesn’t get the nomination “the establishment” has interfered. Let’s lay some ground work first. If Trump gets to 1237 and the GOP pulls some hijinks, then yes, I’d say they overruled voters. Sure Trump is…
Seriously? For Those Like @RBpundit: Does #neverCruz Outrank #neverTrump And #neverHillary?
So, last night’s primaries are over. The field is one lighter. We’re left with an interesting question now. By way of background, this cycle I’ve been 2 things: #neverHillary and #neverTrump. (Although I confess I underestimated Trump, so I thought it wasn’t necessary to be against him.) I have always put the latter prior to…
Not So Bold Predictions 5: The Age Of Trump
Let’s just throw some shit out there. Like Trump. Once again, a direct cut and paste from my Brother’s Facebook competition. “Don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Trumpy party!” FL Trump: 41%… Rubio 26%+career fatality Cruz 17% Kasich 9% (Early voting claims the rest for Jeb! or others.) O-H-O-I (As Obama…
Drive-by Trump Roundup
Frankly at this point there’s simply too much stuff to talk about in individual posts for an extended period of time. As such, it’s now a necessity to combine down the shenanigans of this whole circus freak act into “roundup” style posts. So here we go. Before we begin I remind you that I’ve already…
California Supports Hyper-Regulation Of Everything, Even Suicide
The difference between allowing a suicidal person access to a gun with which to end his life, and access to a government licensed member of the medical guild who will prescribe the pharmacological equivalent, is simply the amount of regulation. As of June 9th, Californians will be able to request life-ending medication from their physicians….
