So much for any hope that the cavalry might come to the rescue of the republic. In November, New Hampshire’s Maggie Goodlander and five other Members of Congress, all with backgrounds in the military or national security, made a video in which they reminded active duty service members that they have a right and and a duty to refuse illegal orders. They didn’t record the video on a whim. The Trump administration had been blowing up boats for months, killing scores of people. As yet, there has been no reckoning for anyone involved, from the trigger-pullers up to the very top of the chain of command. But, as recent trends have made all too clear, the fact that there have been no legal consequences doesn’t mean the law has not been broken. With the executive branch out committing crimes, and the judicial branch washing its hands like Pilate, lawmakers are the only ones in authority left to raise objections. Last Saturday, El Presidente Donald Trump*… The Rule of Law is So Passé
The Ohio house of representatives has appointed a committee of five members to investigate the charges made against four members of the present house, that they accepted bribes to vote for Henry B. Payne for United States senator while members of the last general assembly. Senator Payne represents the Standard Oil Co., and incidentally the democracy. [Subsequent investigations made it clear that Washington Freemen, our editor in 1886, was justified in his suspicions. Nevertheless, Payne’s colleagues in the Senate—perhaps not feeling qualified to cast the first stone—declined to expel him. – The Ed.] A man named Lapour killed the sheriff of Colfax county, Neb., Jan. 12th, and was hung by a mob. An oysterman named Thomas Jefferson was frozen to death while attempting to cross… “Senator Payne represents the Standard Oil Co.”

by W.D. Ehrhart Recently, I received an e-mail from an Austrian man I’ve known for over 40 years. Let’s call him “Adi.” Here is what he wrote: “Greetings from Austria across the wide wild waters to my U.S. friends. Peace be with you, and strength…. A Critic in the Peanut Gallery

“Thanks again, as always, for making the now really bad news somewhat easier to tolerate. The truth, which is now seldom spoken, and never spoken by our nation’s “Liar in Chief,” just keeps getting worse and worse.
