Stop Pretending Military Spending is About “Defense”

2026-04-03T11:56:13.972-07:00

$1.5 trillion. With a “t.” That’s how much US president Donald Trump wants Congress to appropriate for military (falsely called “defense”) spending in 2027. And that number — there’s no other way to put this — is insane. The only proper date for such a spending request, followed by a winking grin emoji, is April … Continue reading Stop Pretending Military Spending is About “Defense” → - by Thomas L. Knapp

OK, Fine, Give TSA Agents Back Pay … But Then Send Them Home For Good

2026-03-28T11:03:17.573-07:00

At airports across the US, Transportation Security Administration agents have been “working” — that is, impeding, harassing, ogling, and groping air travelers — without pay since Valentine’s Day due to a congressional feud over funding for their parent department. Well, some of them, anyway. Several hundred have quit; quite a few are calling in sick … Continue reading OK, Fine, Give TSA Agents Back Pay … But Then Send Them Home For Good → - by Thomas L. Knapp

Autarky: Terrible at Political Scale, But Great as Individual Self-Defense

2026-03-21T06:04:14.713-07:00

Since everyone seems to have a sticker shock story lately: I rolled one of my motorcycles up to a gas pump yesterday and, for the first time ever, spent more than $5 to fill the tank (small bike, small tank — I paid $5.67 for 1.1 gallons of premium).

Lee. That first skirmish of the battle named … Continue reading Iran War: We Have Met the Enemy, and He is U.S. → - by Thomas L. Knapp

Social Media’s Down Side: No Fresh Starts

Generally speaking, I’ve always considered myself a “techno-optimist,” sometimes perhaps to the point of Panglossianism. As a teen, I embraced those new-fangled “microcomputers,” and as a 20-something the World Wide Web, with enthusiasm.
