Short Take Politics:

The Essence of Corruption

How Corey Lewandowski enriched himself despite having only a temporary job at Homeland Security. He even slipped into the office by following his card-swiping married girlfriend. Such greatness for America. Be proud. He joined the mile-high club on a government jet. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/us/politics/corey-lewandowski-noem-dhs.html?searchResultPosition=1

Sanctions lifted. Iran, Russia benefit

Hey, we need the oil. Even if the countries selling it are our enemies. This makes Obama’s “pallets of cash” look like nickels and dimes. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/20/us-sanctions-iranian-oil

Planning a summer vacation? Fly out of Canada

The TSA is a mess because Democrats are insisting ICE agents not cover their faces, wear name badges and body cams. Since ICE is part of Homeland Security, the TSA is shut down. We are feeling good about deciding to fly from Hamilton to Halifax this summer. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/tsa-wait-times-government-shutdown-03-…

Diplomacy by whim and violence

The self-immolation of our once-great nation is continuing in the Middle East with war-by-whim continuing and, even as the war maybe ends or maybe not, an additional $200 billion in funding needed because you know, insider trading. https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/adventures-in-fantasy-diplomacy?utm_…
