Trump already remakes the world
Clearly the permanent government is still in control, and Trump is not yet in control. But equally clearly, he is working on it. With Trump’s election, the Arab Spring died. Suddenly and mysteriously, the mysterious benefactors that enabled Arab subversives to operate from a big important expensive office, stopped funding that big important expensive office. …
The likely shape of a Trump autocoup
For Trump to actually be the executive of the United States government would be something very like a autocoup, a coup by the merely elected government against the permanent government.

A major part of our peacekeeping is Ivory Coast, where …
Congressman Steve King’s solution to healthcare
Instead of having a plan developed behind closed doors and then you have to vote for it to find out what is in it, you legislate the old fashioned way, congressional vote by vote. “A return to regular order“. The great advantage of this is its great disadvantage. Congress cannot centrally plan the economy, or …
Undead Christianity
Europe is the faith, the faith is Europe. When Roman Paganism died, the Roman Empire in the west died. Julian the apostate tried to revive paganism, got an undead religion. My commenters tell me Christianity survives as a mustard seed, but to me, it looks like a dead parrot. I wish Christianity could be revived, …
