Here is what I would like to see: Trump becomes speaker for a limited time – 3 to 4 months. In that time he does what he does best: Make fools of the democrats and the established order. He runs roughshod over the house “Decorum and traditions” and gets stuff done for the American people. The cherry on top would be the SOTU address where he does NOT tear his copy in half but hands it over to the archivist.
After Trump hands the gavel over to Jordan or Scalise, the change is so dramatic that even the dems are happy to deal with them.
When the dems voted to remove the speaker, they voted for chaos. They deserve to get what they voted for. Good and hard.

“Gender affirming care” is mutilation. Doing it to children is evil.
If a teen girl suffering from anorexia says she is fat and wants gastric bypass surgery we don’t do that because that child does not know what is good for them and they are mentally ill. They need help getting over the illness, not surgery.
This is the same thing.
So many tells in this video:
Look at what that family is eating – do you see any meat on that table?
Might that be part of the problem?
Where does the mother get the idea that anyone would want to hurt her son?
Protecting the children from mutilation is not harm.
Son says he became trans after reading about it on the internet.
Oh, you’re uncomfortable – welcome to puberty. It sucks but you get through it. . .
Unless your parents sign you up for irreversible hormone therapy and surgical mutilation and you become a patient for the rest of your life requiring millions of dollars in hormones and surgeries and you will be uncomfortable for the rest of your life!

Guest Contributor – Chemist – 17JUL2023 – Vetting a Cabinet
This illustrates my biggest issue with President Trump: He is very bad at picking people for the job. This is important because it is likely the most important thing a president does – Pick his cabinet and other heads of departments.
Trump gave us Jeff Sessions – who allowed the democrats to persecute Trump for the first 2 years of office.
He gave us Rex Tillerson who called Trump a fucking Moron.
He gave us Mad Dog Mattis who didn’t have a clue and publicly resigned.
I could go on with a dozen more, but why?
And Trumps biggest mistake: His son in law Jared Kushner who brought Kim Kardashian to the White House. If you like the criminals roaming around your state, thank Jared.
Trump is dazzled by athletes, Hollywood stars and medal wearing generals. There are dozens of generals who were working against him but Trump didn’t fire them.
To those of you who say that Trump has learned his lesson, I give you Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker. Those senate races should have gone GOP, but Trump anointed candidates who didn’t want to win.
You are very correct that the next GOP candidate needs to have a plan in place for stopping the steal. I don’t want to see another blue city in a red state truck in ballots and count until their candidate wins with zero repercussions.
We need a plan. We need lawyers on the ground with documents in hand and we need facts ready to go.
Make no mistake, if Trump is the candidate I will vote for him but I would really like to see some better decisions from him on who he surrounds himself with.

Mark Twain once said that history doesn’t always repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
I think we may be seeing that rhyming with AB InBev and Budweiser.
I believe it was in the late 1980s that Tomkins PLC, a British conglomerate, bought Smith & Wesson.
They did not understand the US market, or the firearms market or firearms for that matter.
They proceeded to make a number of missteps, not the least of which was to be the only major gun maker to sign on with Clinton’s AWB, HUD restrictions and other anti-second amendment policies.
This led to reduced market share and loss of revenue and negative profits. Things got so bad that the US company Saf-T-Hammer bought the company for $45 million – a fraction of what Tomkins paid.
Now we have the spectacle of InBev, a Belgium company, who purchased Anheuser-Busch a few years ago. InBev clearly does not understand the US market as demonstrated by their partnering with a transsexual to try to sell beer to American blue collar workers.
Bud light sales are down over 25% and a country star recently couldn’t even give it away at a concert.
Now the disease appears to be spreading to other AB brands including Michelob and Budweiser.
I wonder if things will get so bad that, like Tomkins, InBev ends up dumping AB at a massive loss.
Truth be told, it would not hurt my feelings.
Guest Contributor – Chemist – 02NOV2022 – Affirmative Action
In 2003, Sandra Day O’Conner (Herself, a beneficiary of affirmative action) cast the deciding vote in Grutter vs Bollinger and cemented racial discrimination as the law of the land.
In her ruling, she said “We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary.”
That is a mind-blowing statement coming from a Supreme Court Justice. To paraphrase: “This thing is constitutional now but won’t be in the future.” Talk about your living documents! Are there any other rights that fade in and out like that?
Now there is another case before the SCOTUS regarding AA.
Some of the back and forth looks really interesting:
Justice Thomas asked Ryan Park to describe the actual benefit of a diverse classroom.
Park responded that in studies involving stock trading results, “racially diverse groups of people … perform at a higher level.”
“The mechanism there is that it reduces groupthink and that people have longer and more sustained disagreement, and that leads to a more efficient outcome,” Park said.
Thomas responded, “I guess I don’t put much stock in that because I’ve heard similar arguments in favor of segregation, too.”
Boom!
And then there was this exchange between Waxman and Roberts: (Waxman is the lawyer defending Harvard’s racial discrimination policies.)
- WAXMAN: No, I know. I’m –I’m attempting to answer your question.
There is no doubt that for –as the testimony showed, that for applicants who are essentially so strong on multiple dimensions, so extraordinarily strong on multiple dimensions that they are sort of on the bubble, that they might –they have a real candidate for admission, African American –being African American or being Hispanic or in some instances being Asian American can provide one of many, many tips that will put you in.
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Well, people say that, yes, but you will have to concede, if it provides one of many, that in some cases it will be determinative.
- WAXMAN: I do. I do concede that.
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Okay. So we’re talking about race as a determining factor in admission to Harvard.
Kaboom!
Waxman tried to recover and said that “Race, for some highly qualified applicants can be the determinative factor, just as being, you know, an oboe player in a year in which the Harvard-Radcliffe orchestra needs an oboe player will be the tip,”
“We did not fight a Civil War about oboe players,” Roberts replied. “We did fight a Civil War to eliminate racial discrimination, and that’s why it’s a matter of considerable concern.”
Atomic Boom!
It would seem that the 25 years Justice O’Conner was speaking of was not until society matured past the need for affirmative action (That will never happen as long as one group benefits at the expense of another.) but that it would take 25 years before we got a conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
It looks like it will be 19 years and not Sandy’s full 25.
Trump can mean tweet all he wants in return for this Supreme Court.
Guest Contributor – Chemist – 02SEP2022 – Green Fantasy
I confess I am mystified by Germany and the rest of Europe’s attitude.
They earnestly believe that burning fossil fuels will warm the planet and lead to global Armageddon. Well, unless those fossil fuels come from Russia. Then it is somehow OK.
Nuclear power plants produce zero CO2 and, if done right, are the safest of all power generation methods. (The US nuclear fleet has a perfect safety record going back over 50 years.) Oh, but Japan had an Earthquake followed by a tsunami which caused the pumps to fail at a nuclear plant leading to (Checks notes) zero deaths?
Never mind the fact that Germany is not on an ocean and is not subject to tsunamis, they decided to shut down all of their nuclear plants.
So they put all of their resources into Chinese made solar panels and windmills. Again, the fact that these items are only made by burning tons of fossil fuels (most far dirtier than European fossil fuels) is somehow ok.
They did this knowing that there was no way these “Green” methods could serve their needs. I guess the plan was to make up the difference with that “Green” Russian natural gas which they would still be happily buying if Vlad hadn’t had the bad taste to invade Ukraine.
Tucker is right. They will freeze. The question is – how many governments will fall>
Guest Contributor – Chemist – Impeachment
Impeachment! Tie him up with impeachment trials. The democrats won’t vote to convict? Fine. Have another impeachment. Keep it going and bind his hands until he(Or is handlers) realize that this is all that will happen until he is replaced.
Things Slow Joe can be impeached for (Off the top of my head):
Not securing the border. This is a responsibility of the executive defined in the constitution. He is not doing his duty. It will be easy to prove and it will be fun watching the partisans voting no when the evidence is incontrovertible.
Influence peddling. Lets have fun with Hunter’s laptop. Let’s put it out there for everyone to see. Lets name and shame the people who sent money to Hunter so he can give 10% to “The big guy”.
Extortion. Joe admitted to forcing the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor who was investigating Hunter. Let’s put that on display and, while we are at it, show the truth of the Trump phone call to Ukraine.
That should keep us busy for the first year. I’m sure there is more.
Guest Contributor – Chemist – 01MAR2022 – Texas Primary Election Day
Today is primary day in Texas. (Or if you are a republican in my town, the only voting day that matters.)
While voting an older man and his elderly, wheelchair bound, father came in.
The older man was irate that he didn’t get an absentee ballot for his father like in years past.
“Last three years, the ballot comes in the mail. This year – nothing.”
The clerk replied that you now have to request the ballot.
The older man countered that “Dad doesn’t do computers. How is he supposed to request one?”
The clerk told him that he could call for one and the man said this was a pain.
I wanted to jump in and say:
“Yup. Another thing the democrats fucked up for everyone.
After the wholesale cheating in 2020 we had to change the laws which make it more difficult for everyone, so thank a Democrat!”
But I kept my mouth shut.

Hat Tip to Chemist for this Link. Red States Starting to Coordinate Their Interests
Here’s the beginning of a counterattack against the corporate thugs who carry water for the Marxists. Hitting the banks where it hurts is a very good beginning. They should do the same to the banks that cancel people for free speech. It’s finally good to see some coordination getting started.
Guest Contributor – Chemist – Reclaiming Christmas
Mrs. Chemist and I are still working but plan to take the week between Christmas and New Year’s off.
One of the things I loved the most about Christmas vacation as a child was the lack of responsibility – the absolute immunity from having to do anything. It was glorious!
Then, as I got older, responsibilities started to inject into my Christmas vacation. First it was term papers and other assignments over “Winter Break”. Later, my brief career in retail required I work harder that week than any other week of the year. (Retailers call the week between Christmas and New Years the “Thirteenth month” because they do as much business that week as a typical month through the year. After that it was graduate school when the lab and the instruments were barely used and I could get more work done. Then, early in my professional career, I worked through holidays and weekends to prove myself.
I’m done with that.
Mrs. Chemist and I will spend at least one day doing absolutely nothing: No chores, no shopping, no work, no news – nothing a responsible adult “Needs” to do. We plan to sleep late, enjoy each other, watch movies, eat bad food and just enjoy.
We are really looking forward to it.
