Let’s Move the Capital. Washington DC Squandered Our Trust. 

"Washington, D.C., as an urban center, is something of a joke compared to other important capitals around the world, like London, Paris, and Berlin, and compares unfavorably with the capitals of many impoverished nations."

Probably a little unrealistic, but we could certainly move some of the agencies to the places that they’re actually supposed to be involved with, like the Department of the Interior should be in the interior. Like Wichita. Customs and Border could be near the border and the Department of Energy should be in Texas. Also, while we’re imagining things, Congress like many state, legislatures should be limited to how many days it is in session. I’d like it to be 10 but realistically 180 days is plenty and then maybe some of them would actually have a house in the states they represent. -Ed

The New York Times is facing backlash over its coverage of Donald Trump and the 2024 election 

This is a pretty interesting CNN article that essentially is advocating for the newspaper to not report correct information that makes the Biden administration look incompetent. The reasoning is that it could somehow assist Donald Trump in being elected and that cannot be permitted by some of their readers in their unmedicated derangement over Trump. Very interesting about "our democracy" which is developing into a phrase that is quite Orwellian in how its meaning appears to have changed – Ed

Colorado introduces legislation to ban many semi-automatic rifles and pistols.

Colorado Democrats, led by Representatives Elisabeth Epps and Tim Hernández, have introduced House Bill 24-1292, aiming to significantly restrict semiautomatic firearms by proposing a ban on approximately 200 models. The bill targets not only specific firearms but also categories making the exact number of banned firearms ambiguous. Both Epps and Hernández are members of the Democratic Socialists of America.


The legislation seeks to address the role of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in mass shootings, asserting that such weapons do not belong in society. It proposes stringent penalties for violations, including fines up to $500,000, and restricts the possession of rapid-fire trigger activators. The bill also outlines conditions under which firearm dealers can sell their existing inventory of the banned firearms to out of state purchasers or peace officers only. Alongside HB24-1292, Colorado Democrats are pushing for additional gun control measures, including stricter handgun training requirements, merchant category codes for firearm transactions, and mandatory liability insurance for gun owners.

Biden ‘willfully’ kept classified info, would come off as ‘elderly man with poor memory’ at trial, scathing report says  

"Investigators even uncovered a recording of Biden confiding in his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer in April 2017, three months after leaving the vice presidency, that he still had official records because “I didn’t want to turn them in” 

I feel compelled to point out the number of these classified documents were fed apparently obtained during the time he was a senator much less vice president and in neither case does he have a right to remove them from the classified area, much less possess them in such a manner. He hardly had the reason when he was in the Senate that he was ''an elderly man with a poor memory" he was, of course, incompetent and not very intelligent but it was hardly a memory problem when he took them from the secured areas and kept them. Just saying – Ed

Alert Listener wonders why extending the statute limitations to sue Donald Trump is not an ex post facto law?

Ex post facto laws are laws that retroactively change the legal consequences of actions that were committed before the enactment of the law. The Constitution prohibits the creation of ex post facto laws (Article I, Sections 9 and 10) to protect individuals from being prosecuted for actions that were not criminal at the time they were committed, or from facing greater penalties than those that applied at the time the act was committed.

Changing the statute of limitations is a little different

Statutes of limitations set deadlines for filing lawsuits or criminal charges. These laws are meant to ensure fairness by requiring that legal actions be initiated within a reasonable time, protecting individuals from facing legal actions for prolonged periods after an event.

Creating or extending a statute of limitations retroactively, allowing individuals to be prosecuted or sued after the original statute of limitations has expired, might seem similar to enacting an ex post facto law. However, courts have found that extending or reviving statutes of limitations, especially for civil cases, does not necessarily violate the Constitution. The courts have found distinctions by finding that statutes of limitations are procedural, not punishment. They regulate the timing of when legal actions can be brought, rather than defining conduct as criminal or imposing retroactive criminal consequences. Most challenges under ex post facto provisions relate to criminal laws.

Extending statutes of limitations for civil cases are generally viewed differently, as the primary aim is not to punish but to provide a remedy for grievances. It is primarily procedural and is often justified by legislatures on the grounds of serving justice and public interest. However, any such extensions must be carefully structured to avoid infringing on constitutional protections, particularly regarding ex post facto laws in the context of criminal charges.
