It’s Important to Remember this about the Coke in the White House Story…

…the only reason you know about it is because it was first thought that this “white powder” was some sort of anthrax like attack threatening the White House that might be blamed on conservatives. This is why you had the whole hasmat treatment.

It was the result of that scare that this white power was determined to be coke and the troubles for the White House and the impossibility of actually answering a simple question became the issue.

Let’s be blunt the cocaine in the Whitehouse isn’t a crisis to this administration, I suspect this administration has had plenty of drugs in this place over the last two plus years and that those folks have known about this just like they knew about Weinstein and Epstein and like Weinstein and Epstein only became a crisis when it was publicly known and could not be credibly denied.

Decoding the Declaration of Independence

It has been argued by many progressives that the Declaration of Independence has absolutely no legal value.  That is true.  All legal power and authority for the government of the United States flows from the Constitution.  However, The Declaration of Independence very eloquently conveys the moral and philosophical foundation at the very core of the founding of the United States. 

Thomas Jefferson did not write a truly original document when he wrote the Declaration.  He chose to base that document mainly on the writings of John Locke.  That was because Locke based his most influential works, Two Treatises of Government, primarily on Natural Law.

As you can see from the opening paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, Natural Law is the very foundation of the most famous breakup letter ever written.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

This next quote states quite clearly that Natural Rights are the very foundation of the Declaration of Independence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

This next quote is the most important for two reasons.  First, because Jefferson states that for governments to be legitimate, they must derive their powers solely from the consent from the governed.   Second, that the people have the right to tear down a government that is harmful to the natural rights of the people.

that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

This last quote warns us that we must have very valid reasons before we throw off the yoke of an oppressive government.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.

Reality under the Fedora: Bud Light Still Popular, WhiteHouse Crack Over/Under, Expect More of the Same, Like We Trusted You, Deferring to Experience

Let’s use some simple logic here:

Even if Bud Light’s Sales have dropped by 25% over last year, to the delight of many conservatives like me, the fact that they are still the #2 beer in the country means that a shitload of people are still buying, and presumably drinking it.

Yeah companies are noticing this and thinking twice but you can still make a pretty good profit being the #2 beer in the USA.

Let’s face it, Hunter Biden not withstanding is there anybody out there who would be the least bit surprised to find people in the Biden White House who are not named “Hunter” using cocaine?

I think the only type of person who would find that unbelievable are the type who would find the idea of Bill Clinton romping on Jeffrey Epstein’s private Island unbelievable.

I’d be interested in the betting odds of who the user is.

There was a lot of buzz about the supreme Court opinions from Justice Thomas who took apart Justice Jackson so called reasoning and Justice Gorsuch going after Justice Sotomayor’s reasoning in opinions.

I have a feeling that we’re going to be seeing a lot more of this because I think the conservative justices either know or have a pretty solid idea who leaked the Dobbs opinion but don’t have enough proof to go to court with it.

Given that this has led to assassination attempts and danger to people families I suspect the gloves are off so don’t be surprised if you see a lot more of this kind of thing.

There is a bit of a buzz about some business’ etc now saying that Trump supporters and/or conservatives are not welcome. Glenn Reynolds laughs at the idea that leftists doing this is something new.

What I find funny is the idea that conservatives would willingly go to such a place that advertises their liberalism on their sleeve. Remember a Christian is required to see all others as a child of God and are further required to love their enemies while those who have rejected this for liberalism and Marxism and the ever expanding alphabet labels do not have this requirement.

Why would you presume such folks would not play with your food if they see a cross or a crucifix around your neck or a t-shirt on your back particularly if they are not working for a national chain that would be terrified about both liability and being bud lighted?

When I see the rainbow flag I eat elsewhere.

As you know I had a big objection to Marcus Smart being traded by the Celtics but that being said I’m not an ex basketball player or a hall of famer so while my gut says that this was a very bad idea I have to concede that Bob Cousy opinion on Mr. Smart might be a tad more informed than I when he said that Smart should ask himself why he was always open at the end of the game.

I’m afraid I’m going to have to defer to experience here.
