Weblog Entry Troff document (with manpage macros) Trump uses Immigration to Implement Autocracy by Jeff Steele, last updated: Jun 19, 2025 04:04 PM
While cult leader, convicted felon, and failed President Donald Trump probably does have an authentic desire to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, he is using immigration to justify the implementation of autocratic takeovers of Democratic cities.

Weblog Entry Troff document (with manpage macros) The Minnesota Shooting and MAGA Disinformation by Jeff Steele, last updated: Jun 17, 2025 04:38 PM
When a gunman kills one Democratic legislator and her husband and wounds another Democratic legislator and his wife, and then is found to have created a list of other Democratic public officials and abortion providers, MAGAs conclude the shooter must be a liberal.

The MN shooting thread greatly bothered me because of the relentless pace and intensity with which MAGA posters insisted the shooter was a Democrat or [...]
Weblog Entry Troff document (with manpage macros) The Abundance Agenda by Jeff Steele, last updated: Jun 14, 2025 11:17 AM
The current focus of many liberal political pundits on the so-called abundance agenda is misplaced and potentially counterproductive. In the case of housing regulation, it likely completely misses the fundamental issue that is preventing increased housing.

I think you’re completely correct in your assessment of homeowners opinions. But you can’t just take that at face value to mean that that’s true. [...]

I am aware of multiple instances in which single-family homeowners fought up-zoning of their homes. They apparently did not believe or were not interested in [...]

I’m genuinely curious, what hat do you mean by “rarely works in reality reality”? Do you have examples of places that have been up-zoned and [...]

Your suggestion may make sense in theory, but rarely works out in reality. If it worked in reality, there would be hordes of single-family homeowners [...]

Not to be glib, but the fact that you basically didn’t bother to understand the nuances of the other side really shows. The arguments around [...]

What was clearly going to be a failure has, not surprisingly, turned out to be a failure. The only surprise is that it turned out to be even worse than expected.
Weblog Entry Troff document (with manpage macros) Update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia by Jeff Steele, last updated: Jun 12, 2025 09:21 AM
In the challenge to determine whether actions by the administration of cult leader, convicted felon, and failed President Donald Trump are explained by incompetence or malice, the answer is always both. There is no better demonstration of this than the plight of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Weblog Entry Troff document (with manpage macros) Has U.S. Policy toward Israel and the Palestinians Changed? by Jeff Steele, last updated: Jun 12, 2025 08:48 AM
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has suggested that the United States no longer supports a two-state solution, instead suggesting support for ethnically cleaning Palestinians and carving out a state for them within a Muslim country. He has also intervened in Israeli domestic politics to protect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
