What Republicans Forgot: INTEGRITY Matters
Regardless of how we’re all physically ‘born’, we all arrive in this world with 100% of our Integrity intact. Whether or not we get to the end of our lives with it STILL intact — that’s entirely up to us. The ‘thing’ about Integrity is, it’s an ‘all or nothing’ proposition. Ever meet someone with…

What Did YOU Do In The Culture War, Daddy?
There are times — at the beginnings of wars usually — when one side knows a state of war exists while the other side doesn’t. Pearl Harbor comes to mind. On the morning of December 7, 1941, the residents of Hawaii — Pearl Harbor in particular — slept soundly in their beds, unaware that they…

American Culture Has A White-Christian-Male Bias & It Needs To Go
How many guilty Catholic priests does it take to screw in a light bulb? Better question — How many guilty Catholic priests (guilty of SCREWING children) does it take before a Culture opens its damned eyes? That blind spot isn’t the Catholic Church’s alone.

What Tribalism IS & ISN’T
Our illustrious, observant MSM points out a lot these days how TRIBAL we’ve all become (and how ‘it’s both sides’ fault that we HAVE become so tribal). As I’m fond of saying on these pages here, if you start from a place of BULLSHIT, you will only ever see BULLSHIT in front of you. And…

Is Jeff Sessions Too Stupid For Christianity?
Our ‘sistah-sight’ Mulligan Jesus (which, biased-biased-biased I highly recommend) asks what I think is a very provocative question: Is THIS MAN — Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions — too stupid for Christianity? We know already he’s TOO STUPID FOR JESUS… But,, who am I — a very humble atheist — to judge. That’s I leave…
