Independence Daddy

It's been a nice couple of weeks, weekend getaway to Taiwan included. Some two months ago, it was suggested that the true meaning behind the tariffs signalling was that " I am The King, My Word is Law, Those That Deny It Stand Against Me, And I Will Have Their Heads", and all of these statements have duly been borne out.

On the title of King, the suspiciously-organized "No Kings" protests subsided as farce almost as soon as it began, with many demonstrations outside the United States having to rebrand themselves as "No Tyrants" because, well, they do have kings, and they kinda like their kings (or queens; also note that the top three nations on the Democracy Index - Norway, Sweden and New Zealand - are all monarchies). The White House Palace must be taking notes.

On his Word being Law, the One Big Beautiful Bill has just passed into law, fittingly on Independence Day.

And on Taking the Heads of those standing against him, the previous post has already noted that a number of Iranian generals and nuclear scientists have been missing theirs - which, by the way, should really be recognized as a pretty-obvious message to the world at large, on the picking of sides in Cold War II.
