Life Without Trump

Heather Hastie — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 02:41:47 +0000

I feel like a big weight is gone from my shoulders now that the White House is seeing Life Without Trump. However, he is still infecting the GOP like a fatal disease. Many are comparing him to cancer. I think that if the GOP don’t disassociate themselves from his influence, it will die a slow […]

Mike Bloomberg and is “Stop and Frisk” Racist?

Heather Hastie — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 01:31:24 +0000

With the entry of former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg into the race to be the Democratic Party presidential nominee, we have the inevitable. The other runners, and their supporters, are digging into his past to find any dirt they can to discredit him. The primary attack against him is the New York police’s use […]

Laurence Tribe vs. Alan Dershowitz

Heather Hastie — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 02:05:32 +0000

Laurence Tribe is someone I’ve respected and followed for some time. So, when I saw he’d given an opinion in the Washington Post: ‘Trump’s lawyers shouldn’t be allowed to use bogus legal arguments on impeachment‘. It’s mainly in relation to the argument Alan Dershowitz is making in opposition to President Trump’s impeachment. I’m obviously no […]

Where I’ve Been, Soleimani, and Solace

Heather Hastie — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 02:29:43 +0000

I thought you were all deserving of an explanation. I said, “I’m back,” and since then there’s been little further. As well as the other posts I previously mentioned, I’m now trying to write a Proper Post about the Iran situation, but it’s going slowly. So, I’m including a few initial thoughts here about the […]

White Island (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 02:15:34 +0000

After saying ‘I’m Back‘ a few days ago, there was nothing more on the site to encourage you to believe me. I’ve been writing about the topics that got a mention in that post. But, short of posting boring videos of me tapping away, there’s no way to prove that. Further, it produces no immediately […]

I’m Back (plus Tweets and other Stuff)

Heather Hastie — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 01:50:35 +0000

Though obviously not with the presence of The Terminator! There are, of course, a lot of other cool examples of the use of this phrase in popular culture, but Arnie’s my favourite. This post, mostly comprising of tweets, is to ease me gradually into the habit of writing and posting again. It’s been several months, […]

Abortion and the US Republican Party

Heather Hastie — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 04:33:34 +0000

Before I start, I should note I am unapologetically pro-choice. I’ve been pro-choice for as long as I can remember. I recall thinking women should be able to have an abortion, if they want one, when I was just eight year old (1972-73). (New Zealand’s Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion Bill was making its way through […]

The Federalist Society (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Thu, 18 Jul 2019 03:24:15 +0000

This is a short post about the Federalist Society (or rather, why I don’t agree with them) that I need to do so I can link to it when my very long post about abortion finally makes it onto the site. It was a part of that abortion post, but it took up too much […]
