On Friday, I learned that George Foreman, a former heavyweight boxing champion, had died. He was my age, making me hear ticking clocks as I ponder his legacy.  

George was a unique athlete in a rough sport, a great talker, and very funny!  Here he is with Johnny Carson:

The Democrats have put together a very interesting team by mixing Bernie Sanders, an aged, porcupine-haired socialist who advocates slews of government handouts and benefits, with Andrea Ocasio-Cortez, a charismatic babe whose youth and energy make her an attractive candidate for higher offices.  

The conservatives make fun of AOC, but she is a rising star in Democratic circles as Chuck Schumer faces reelection in 2028. This week, Nancy Pelosi said that Schumer should step down from his leadership position after allowing the Republican spending bill to pass the Senate. Schumer vowed he would not step down.  

Imagine those two fighting it out in the Senate cafeteria.  For what it’s worth, I believe this tiff between them is all show.

 Opportunity is knocking.  If AOC replaces Chuck Schumer in the Senate, it sets her in a position for a higher office, just like it did for Barack Obama some twenty years ago.  

The Sanders-Cortez team drew a large crowd in Denver, Colorado. Reading about that event, it is evident that Trump’s successes are driving up the anger within the mob. The Democrats are promoting that anger by using a new word: oligarchy!

They are spinning Trump’s DOGE accomplishments as much as they can.  Despite DOGE’s uncovering billions and billions of dollars of government waste, the democrats claim it is being done with unconstitutional power grabs by unelected oligarchs who illegally fire competent federal employees; you know, like Joe Biden fired all those pipeline workers on the first day of his presidency some four years ago.

The Autopen President is on the wall of the White House.  As the truths on this matter become known to the DOJ, several pardons—perhaps all—will be vacated, and the perps will scatter. Perhaps Hunter Biden will shack up with Rosie O’Donnell in Ireland. 

With all the work falling on the new Department of Justice, its new hires may fill all the vacancies in the DC area caused by the closure of the Department of Education and the USAID offices. They will be switching sinecures for prosecutors. 

Strange Humor:  I saw a coroner with a shirt that read “Last Responder.”

Have a wonderful week!
Steve

  November 7, 2024 Let’s start off with a reader participation question:  What should be the first three official acts of the new Trump presidency?  You can add more if you wish!  Send your ideas to me. Battle Lines:   Whew, it didn’t take long.  Kamala’s speech was more of a challenge of Trump’s presidency than it was a concession speech.  Now, the ACLU is getting ready for Trump’s next presidency.  I received an email from them today that states the following: “…it's official: Donald Trump has been elected to a second term. “During Trump's first term, my fellow ACLU lawyers and I filed 434 legal actions challenging the Trump administration's catastrophic policies separating families at the border, denying immigrant minors access to abortion care, greenlighting discrimination against LGBTQ people, and more.” and “I know that I speak for every attorney here at the ACLU when I say that we're more than ready to show up and put up the fight of the ce...

 The Constitutionist Free Newsletter -- Items, Opinions and News gathered from everywhere Steven Maikoski constitutionist@protonmail.com December 26, 2024 It has been evident that President Biden has been on a cognitive decline for years.  Now we read that in the last few days this outgoing president has signed many new bills, most naming post offices and federal buildings. Who told him to sign them? My favorite of those many bills was the Eliminate Useless Reports Act, designed to cut out frivolous paperwork.  Perhaps during the four years we will have the Eliminate Useless Government Agencies Act, to do the same with government bureaus. President Biden has also commuted the death sentences of 37 convicted felons on federal death row, an act that the ACLU has pushed for months.  Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, one of the more liberal members of congress, extolled the act. In the NY Post: Pressley, 50, described the 82-year-old commander in chief’s decision to spare d...

December 1, 2024 On Monday, an 18-story building in San Francisco will be formally dedicated as the “Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building.”  It was built in 2007 and has housed many federal offices for years. To note the new name on the building, it will have its signage changed, sort of getting a new facelift. Wow!  My last newsletter produced zero replies.  Usually, I have ten or more responses within a day from sending a newsletter out, but I received no response from what I thought was an important subject. Maybe it wasn’t a good message for Thanksgiving. Computers:  I have an Apple MacBook Pro, an excellent computer.  But with Apple’s new update, the dictation system is near perfect.  As you talk, it types what you said. It can miss a bit of punctuation and sometimes types gonna instead of going to, but is the best dictation system that I’ve used.  If you have trouble typing, you may wish to check these computers out; their MacBook Airs are just ...
