HeyJaredAmerica Reformed
As a longstanding member of the GOP, going back to Ronald Reagan, I'm deeply troubled by the current direction of the MAGA right wing of my party that's fallen prey to ambitious hacks who've come to deify one deranged man. We are now the opposition.

Jack Smith Testimony: GOP Pomposity & Shame (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every single GOP Senator, when questioning Jack Smith, asked about the same topic. They didn’t ask about the merits of either the Jan. 6th or the classified documents case. They didn’t ask about witnesses, testimony, or findings. The only questions concerned their self-proclaimed importance as senators and their belief that investigating them and their GOP colleagues as part of the Jan. 6th case was illegal under the Speech and Debate Clause, as if that provided them immunity for all possible cr
In Trump’s Venezuela, Democracy is “The Enemy of the State” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The United States carried out a masterful, yet possibly illegal, military operation in January 2026 to capture Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s strongman, who, according to the DOJ, reportedly oversaw a narco terrorist state as detailed in the indictment of him and 14 others. As a side issue, he held on to power with an iron grip on the population and the jailing of thousands who opposed his rule.

AI Safety? Why Not Ask AI? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Author’s note:I asked ChatGPT to explain how AIs can and should be controlled. What I received back only created more questions and potential problems. Drilling down into the finer points and complexity of AI is more than most members of Congress can be expected to understand, aside from a notable few experts: Jay Obernolte, Ted Lieu, Don Beyer, and Ro Khanna, all of whom have strong backgrounds in the AI sphere. Congress will need training in closed-door hearings before they can be expected to
The Feckless War: America’s Military Power Meets Iran’s Asymmetric Strategy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Operation Desert Storm was the last conventional warfare battle of the modern age, with only the addition of stealth fighters, smart bombs such as GPS-guided gravity bombs, and cruise missiles. Other than these weapons, the first Gulf War, commanded by General Norman Schwarzkopf, was a WWII-style massive armor attack on Iraq with tank-against-tank combat, aerial bombing, and overwhelming conventional forces. The use of cruise missiles fired from aircraft and ships gave us some standoff capabilit
