Doofus Of The Day #1,083

  Today’s award goes to the US State Department for this mind-boggling piece of bureaucratic stupidity.  Bold, underlined text is my emphasis. My reader who is trying to get his company’s former employees out of Afghanistan offers another update, and another illustration of the Kafkaesque process for getting an Afghan ally authorization to leave the… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #1,083

Civil rights during a crackdown? What civil rights?

  I’ve had conversations with a number of readers during the past few days.  It started with their being unhappy that I won’t acknowledge or go into detail about 9/11 conspiracy theories.  (Turns out that those who believe in such theories – and it is almost a religious belief, because they won’t listen to, or… Continue reading Civil rights during a crackdown?

Are Mr. Biden’s demands a Trojan horse, to expose dissenters and compile a “hit list”?

  I’ve been giving a lot of thought to Mr. Biden’s ultimatum to the American people, delivered yesterday afternoon.  It was clearly unconstitutional, just like his earlier use of the CDC to illegally block evictions of those who have not paid their rent.  The latter was overturned by the Supreme Court, and he – or,… Continue reading Are Mr. Biden’s demands a Trojan horse, to expose dissenters and compile a “hit list”?

So much for financial privacy (what’s left of it)

  Looks like Big Brother is getting even bigger and more intrusive.  The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) warns of a new IRS push for more data on bank accounts and transactions. The proposal would require financial institutions to report information on customer bank accounts to the IRS. This would be an enormous burden… Continue reading So much for financial privacy (what’s left of it)

This can’t just be stupidity – it’s too stupid for that. There HAS to be actual malice involved.

  I was utterly flabbergasted to read this report yesterday. U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.… Continue reading This can’t just be stupidity – it’s too stupid for that.
