“Republican Leadership” Is An Oxymoron
George Carlin used to do a great bit (almost everything that man did was great!) about words that really don’t belong together like “jumbo shrimp” or “military intelligence”. Add “Republican leadership” to that list. As we stand here today, we can point to the people in the Republican Party whose job titles assert they’re “leaders”…

Is Lindsey Graham Scared Because Putin’s War Is About To Expose The Entire GOP As Traitors?
Lindsey Graham just had his turn to – in his case – ask Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (who’s as or more qualified than anyone who’s ever sat on the SCOTUS) “how many jelly beans are in the big ol’ jar?” Lindsey seemed less interested in questioning a SCOTUS nominee than in putting on a rather…

And To Think – All This Started With “Mexicans Are Rapists…!”
Did ya catch Vladimir Putin doing his best Donald Trump impersonation the other day – right down to the paid attendees? Pacing the stage (more like a caged animal than the prize fighter he probably sees himself as), Putin rambled and grieved for himself, made wild, unsupported and unsupportable accusations, and did his best to…

The GOP Hitched Its Wagon To Trump KNOWING His Wagon Was Hitched To Putin
The Republican Party saw Donald Trump coming.

Hey, Russia, If You’re Listening…

One of the truly confounding things about Donald Trump and his assault on our body politic…

What If STARTING World War Three Was The RIGHT Thing To Do?
For the moment, let’s put nomenclature aside. History will be the ultimate arbiter of whether what’s happening now is or isn’t “World War Three”. For argument’s sake, let’s say it isn’t “World War Three” – not yet. But World War Three could absolutely happen and, in theory, it would be a clear escalation beyond the…

Lack Of Imagination Versus Failure Of Imagination
Why has our news media failed us at this, the most pivotal of moments in our and its history? Consider the string of events, all incredibly impactful by themselves: Vladimir Putin’s willful decision to wage cyber war on America’s 2016 election, the Brexit vote (and Russia’s direct influence upon it), Donald Trump’s entire presidency (and…

Russia Won’t Subdue Ukraine And America’s Right Wing Won’t Subdue The Rest Of America
Someone should write this down so we can all remember it next time: whenever humans fail to learn the lessons history’s trying so desperately to teach us, it’s a dead certainty that humans will repeat those exact mistakes again and again. Megalomaniacal “leaders” who think they can “rule the world” ALL inevitably fail. No one…
