4/28: war criminals can’t be “heroes,” so when do we have a duty to stop them

Posted on May 1, 2026 at 3:49pm 0 Comments

“Mish-mash” [FN1] is a descriptive arising on first glance of a 4/28 [FN2] “challenge” on FB. A list of 18 items follows precatory comments. [FN3, FN3a] The disorganized mess reveals 4/28's ignorance of topics, especially United States history and the Constitution. 1/31

4/28: 16) “Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of their rights?”

A) A right to bail is enshrined in the Bill of Rights. [FN4] 2/31

B) A…

4/28's lassitude is disappointing, but did 4/28 mean to punt “original sin”?

Reply Part V to a post from 4/28 [FN1] begins w/reference to a more recent post [FN2, 2a] by 4/28 mentioned in my last blog. 4/28 notes: “So much anti-America self sabotage going on in this country it's truly treasonous. ...” That’s a bit of a reach. “Treason” is a crime 1/19

that the Constitution both defines [FN3] and sets a standard of proof for. [FN4] Contrary to what some believe, “treason” can be committed without formal state of war. [FN5] That is important when someone like…

4/28 has not learned the lessons from Vietnam or Nuremberg (reply #4)

Hello again and welcome to this 4th segment of my reply to a post from 4/28. [FN1] 4/28 issued a “challenge to any Democrat” to explain how any of a list of statements “makes sense.” A couple of preliminary considerations are important before I continue my reply. [FN2] 1/22

A) 4/28 drafted the statements in a confrontational way. E.g., in the last reply, I noted 2nd part of #9 “is blatantly racist”: [FN3] “any illiterate gang member or terrorist who jumps the southern fence.” That…

4/28 not only is maga, but apparently racist (reply #3)

Posted on April 29, 2026 at 8:48pm 0 Comments

This is the 3rd installment of my reply to a “challenge to any Democrat” to explain “how any of this makes sense.” [FN1] The 4/28 challenge consists of 18 unnumbered points [FN2] & I have replied to points 1-6. [FN3] Too often, such vitriol has gone unaddressed. 1/14

4/28 has not marred the post’s free flow of vitriol w/pesky documentation. Many on the far right believe that bluster alone can “win” arguments. I believe these issues need to be addressed & are vital to our…

Any other guests I should be aware of?

I can give it a shot. It would be mainly "shoot from the hip", though.
