Our Independence Day

On this day, July 4th, we Americans celebrate the birth of our independence. It is a day of celebration and excess of all things Americana. It's fireworks, hot dogs, baseball and apple pie. It's a day when we gloss over all the ugly trials and tribulations that have plagued us, lo these 240 some odd years. Instead, we don ourselves in the colors of our beloved flag and we embrace the amazing experiment that has birthed the greatest nation the world has ever known. Some of us, though, celebrate a new kind of independence. We now feel unencumbered by the rigid, patronizing glare of the aristocratic and self-loathing liberals who deny America's exceptionalism. What they fail to grasp is that on November 8th, 2016, we were freed from this pall…

Unhinged: Washington Post Plays Typhoid Mary for the CIA

Feature Posts, Media, News, Politics

I can almost hear the conversation after the last election in the Post's editorial boardroom: "If some bots in Macedonia can infiltrate the Internet with fake news and innuendo, just imagine what we can do!" Followed by someone remarking, "Bezos will love it." Sure enough, the Post has taken an almost hysterical and frenzied approach to spreading rumors and outright lies through "anonymous sources" and "people close to the current or prior administration." It's remarkable just how unremarkable the rest of the established media has found the Post's dreadful record of accuracy during this time period. It's propaganda now, plain and simple: A virulent strain of misinformation permeating every sector of a diseased and maligned Fourth Estate. We've been here before; deviantly manipulated by lying, cynical intelligence agencies directed to…

Team Trump’s New Strategy: Vetting More, Betting Less

Feature Posts, Legal, News, Politics

Wick Media Series Part 1: Rod Rosenstein I've spent the past two weeks peeling back the layers of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein like an onion. With every layer I peeled back, I found one deep state connection after another. The network of government lawyers in DC is a dazzling matrix of dinner party pals, Ivy League marriages, and is probably the one place where bipartisanship flourishes; provided you subscribe to naked and uninhibited reciprocity. It's here, like a yellowed and over-stuffed rolodex, where you will find the seedlings that sprouted the endlessly and awkwardly enduring government career of Rod J. Rosenstein. Rosenstein graduated in 1989 from Harvard Law with honors, where he had a spot on the coveted Harvard Law Review. He went to clerk for Judge Douglas Ginsberg,…

Justice Is Flying Deaf, Dumb and Blind

Feature Posts, Media, News

How dangerous is the Mueller investigation getting to our constitutional stability as a nation of laws? So dangerous he is leaking details of his investigation before it even starts. Mueller is a serious man, maybe, and this is definitely a serious issue. Right now, though, his credibility is about as crooked as a dog's hind leg, and that is devastating to his mission. In the military there is an old line of reasoning for things like this: Send a good man on a bad mission, and you lose the man and the mission. Mark these words: Mueller and his team of Clinton-tethered lawyers are each carrying a bucket of paint, and believe me when I tell you there's only corner left. This deep state volley between white hat Americans heroes…

“Comey was a metastatic growth of injustice allowed, if not, encouraged by President Obama.”

Feature Posts, News, Opinions

I know titling an article with an anonymous quote is a blatant violation of journalistic standards, but in the modern traditions of the Washington Post, we'll chalk it up to "when in Rome..." Specifically, when in Rome while it burned and Nero fiddled; that would be more apropos, perhaps, when describing Post standards. Nonetheless, I think it accurately and succinctly sums up my short interview with a friend who is a former Department of Justice appointee and current Law Professor. I emailed him several times recently, trying in vain to put some perspective on some of the finer nuances of Mr. Comey's wild ride into infamy. Eventually, I learned my friend was evaluating papers and was annoyed at the prospect of having to discuss the illogic and anti-intellectualism of Jame…

It’s All About The Climb

Feature Posts, News

People often ask me, "why don't you write more?" They mean no harm, of course, most are actually phrasing it in a complimentary way. To a writer, it's vaguely like asking a pregnant woman how far along she is; and you better damn well know she's pregnant in the first place. Every writer is different. Journalists write on a frenetic scale, pushed by deadlines and the need for splashy headlines in perpetuity. Op-Ed types languish around the weekly 'bleed and leads' until some self-righteous impulse kicks in to inform the masses what it all really means. For some of us, we write for the same reason a climber takes on a mountain: because it's there. Hell, I've always thought a moment unwritten is a moment unmemorialized for all time. That…

Is Congress Killing Our Economic Recovery?

Economics, Feature Posts, News

There are few things that confuse and aggravate the average person more than the underpinnings of the American economy. What to make of it? Record highs across the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P, seemingly at odds with the latest suspect government labor reports. Which, in turn, are met by perplexing increases in small business jobs, but not corporate ones. For the average worker who keeps a wary eye on their quarterly 401K reports, marrying the economic reality of disjointed labor reports by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the ADP reports, is near impossible. Turning on the business channel won't help you make sense of the mess, either. While no answer is surgical or simple, there is one solution that could bolster our…

What Tomorrow Will Bring…

Feature Posts, News

The trouble with making war with an uncommon enemy, are the uncommon results that tend to follow. I would imagine many such metaphorical wars were waged against Donald J. Trump in the earlier days of his storied career in the Manhattan real estate business. Lessons were learned, enemies made, battles lost, but Trump stores all these historical moments categorically. He draws upon them with an astounding subconscious ease. He can wound as easily as he woos; he comes bearing bouquets and bullets in equal measure. He wants nothing more than for you to think you know him. It's only then, will he mark his moment. A known commodity in real estate or politics, after all, can be easily priced and sold. Donald J. Trump is not subject to the rules,…

Below is a 99 page document detailing the FBI and other agencies abusing the 702 FISA court laws. This is the tip of the iceberg. A response is due from FBI on June 17th. The characterization of the response as "constitutionally vital" cannot be overstated. Please read and let me know any questions you might have. This is the precursor to the assignment of a real and actual Special Prosecutor. [ABTM id=147]

“Half an inch of water and you think you’re gonna drown.” John Prine

Feature Posts, Legal, Media, News, Politics

Times like these, I hear the rusty old voice of that mailman turned songwriter, John Prine. Let's face it, those lyrics ring true these days. Who hasn't felt a little like they were drowning in this wave of fake news? Each day brings a slew of negative media against the president. Stories laden with unnamed sources of "past and current officials" speaking on condition of anonymity. Please. Enough. But they won't stop. It's all they have. Every twelve hours, a cavalcade of conjecture, a tsunami of innuendo and, well, sometimes even two scoops of ice cream ooze from our TVs like primordial slime. The ebbs and flows of insanity and hilarity play off each other like a tennis volley. There we sit, dull-eyed and nauseous, watching the fate of our…
