The Rule of Lawless 0

At the Idaho State Journal, Jim Jones, who served as Idaho Attorney-General and on the Idaho State Supreme Court, reveals that he is somewhat concerned about the fate of the rule of law in the United States. A snippet:

The country and world have witnessed a rude shock since the first day of Donald Trump’s second presidency. Trump has imposed a raft of illegal tariffs, violated the nation’s asylum laws, unlawfully impounded funds appropriated by Congress, unlawfully depriving individuals of their constitutional rights, misused his position to enrich himself, threatened to prohibit mail-in voting, and committed a long list of other unlawful acts. Most Republican members of both Houses of Congress have failed to act as a check to this unlawful behavior, refusing to stand up for the rule of law.

Other nations, friend and foe alike, have seen the rapid erosion of the rule of law in America and are reconsidering the wisdom of continuing to rely on the US as a safe haven for investing in the future.

His entire article is worth a read.

Also, too.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
