NO MORE KINGS?

The confirmation farce and why we would be better off with a King! No more kings! Are you sure? Here’s what today's New York Times says: ‘’Blanche Faces Crucial Hurdle After Rocky Hearing The fate of Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general remained uncertain on Wednesday after a rocky confirmation hearing in which a Republican senator raised serious questions about his role in creating a $1.8 billion fund for purported victims of Justice Department persecution.’’ We also find out all these hearings, all the drama reported [rocky hearing, uncertain fate, and other rubbish] doesn't amount to a hill of beans because whether the Senate votes or not, and even if he is rejected by 100% of the senators voting ‘’NO’’— nevertheless ‘’He could serve in an acting capacity for the remainder of Mr. Trump’s term.’’ So this hearing is smoke and mirrors signifying nothing but play acting. Meanwhile, if a real king, Charles III, had his heart set on apointing a buddy of his as Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor [the real AG function]—it’s tough patootie. He can't even make the nomination. The Prime Minister presents him with the name of the person he wants as the new Lord Chancellor and lo and behold (the king’s id unconsciously focused on the guillotine) appoints him the new Lord Chancellor. So all’s well that ends well for the capitalist ruling class here in the US, as in his Majesty's realm, king or no King. What we need is no more capitalist ruling class.

1789

Bastille Day 1789— France celebrates it but forgot what it means for European civilization. Napoleon forgot it and 1812 was the result. Hitler never understood it and 1945 was the result. NATO’s misunderstanding of it is about to bring about another tragedy. Ex oriente lux.X

As Parents Reject Vitamin K Shots, Some Babies Develop Devastating Bleeding By Maggie Astor— NYT 7/9/2026

COMMENT Once again a serious philosophical problem from Plato's REPUBLIC raises its head—that is, the state’s responsibility for the welfare of children. The same species of reasoning that justifies drivers licenses, marriage licenses, medical licenses, etc., basically state licenses that function to protect people’s well-being both collectively and individually should cover the protection of children from the consequences of stupid actions taken by their parents that could endanger them. The requirement for vitamin K shots should be required by the state. When it comes to medicine there should be no problem with state supervision checking parental control. In fact having a baby that will be able to grow and prosper is a state concern and responsibility. The state should require a license to have a baby because no baby should be thrown into the world with unfit parents. The day the state won't be needed to ensure the welfare of all children will be the day it withers away. Necessity for having a license to be a parent and the setting up of a system to oversee this basic human right is a technological problem not a philosophical or moral one.
