Feeling frustrated lately? My latest Creative Discourse newsletter:
"Those humors are what drive us to amplify our efforts. Frustration is a fuel we must harness to move forward, rather than a bludgeon from which we should retreat."

“A democracy can itself be as tyrannical as a dictatorship, since it is the extent, not the source, of government power that impinges on freedom.”

Tariffs are taxes.
Tariffs are regressive taxes.
Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes.
Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes that raise prices for US businesses and consumers.

MAGA is dead, but ever-increasing government notched another win yesterday. reason.com/2026/11/04/trump-…
Maybe if Trump had merely renamed a few more bodies of water or bragged a bit more about all the gold adornments he’s scattered throughout the White House, things would have ended differently Tuesday night...

Oh, and @TPAction should probably not meddle in primaries ever again.

Today, the Trump administration announced its 41st equity stake in a private US company (this time: the drone-maker Neros).
Also, be sure to get out and vote today to stop socialism in America.

Interestingly, Bletchley Park in World War Two followed exactly this approach. They didn't hire people for a role. They hired interesting people and allowed them to find out what they were good at. – at Boston, MA

OPINION by Michael Schaus: “The party’s Trump-first approach toward partisan politicking has undeniably damaged its reputation among the nonpartisans, moderates and casual voters who are needed to win general elections.”

"What was the unforgivable transgression Republican Rep. Mark Amodei committed to earn such an excommunication from his political party? Well, he refused to get in line and support a carpetbagging, scandal-ridden candidate backed by the Trumpian sycophants who currently run the GOP's establishment."

OPINION by Michael Schaus: Rep. Mark Amodei’s excommunication from the GOP for not blindly going along with Trump should be considered an honor as the president undermines his campaign promises.

I was able to use the word "apparatchiks" to describe the GOP's MAGA gatekeepers in a column today, and it reminded me that it's the little things in life that make me smile.

I appreciate the positive attention from new corners of the political Twitterverse.
But if you’re a Democrat who opposes these actions by Republicans but supports any of them from your own party, you also missed the point of the article.

I want nothing more than to believe this. Alas, I was conscious from 2008-2016.

LOL, the problem here isn't GWB or @JohnCornyn. Not even close to being the problem.
You were all warned what would happen. You wanted to eat this shit sandwich and try to force the rest of us to eat it, too. You wanted the very worst candidate that you could find. You got him!
