Elections Are Either Free & Fair Or They Aren’t
Without gerrymandering and voter suppression, America’s true political map would look significantly different than it does now. Example – Texas, where Republican gerrymandering has given blue-as-can-be Austin more Republican representation than Democratic. In Austin, gerrymandering is literally circumventing the will of the people — exactly as designed. That IS the point of gerrymandering — to…

The MSM’s Need For “PIZZAZZ” Is What’s Screwing Up American Journalism
I bet NBC News’ Jonathan Allen wishes he could have that one back — the piece he posted on NBC News’ site that panned Day One of the Impeachment hearings because they lacked “pizzazz”. The firestorm’s been pretty relentless, boring in hard on that one word: “pizzazz”. To Allen’s credit, he encapsulated the American news…

A Thought Experiment: What If We “COULD” Sue Gun Manufacturers & The NRA?
Buy literally any other product in America and it causes harm — you can sue the product’s manufacturer because of the harm that product caused. The one exception is GUNS. For real. You cannot sue a gun manufacturer because their gun hurt someone. Or even something (and we know how much gun-loving conservatives value property…

The More Perspective One Has, The More Criminal Trump & The GOP Look
I suppose if you suddenly sprang into being right next to Donald Trump — so his essence, his aura, his version of the world was all that you knew — HIS version of the world might seem possible. But step outside the treasonous bubble of Trumpism — and a 2 X 4 of realism goes…

The Reason Both Sides Don’t “Do It” Is Because Both Sides Aren’t The Same
Our news media insists (all evidence to the contrary) that the only difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the letter next to their name. No, they’re not the same. Of course they’re not. Republicans, being conservatives, want to CONSERVE. Being as you can’t conserve the future, conservatives want to conserve the present but…

To Void Election 2016 Or Not To Void — THAT Is The Question (It Isn’t Really — VOID IT!)
In fairness, it’s hard to get one’s mind around what’s happening to us. Russia launched an aggressive intelligence operation against us and election 2016 that succeeded beyond its wildest hopes. They literally MADE Donald Trump president. C’mon — take Russia out of the Trump equation and he doesn’t get through the primaries. Take Russia &…

Dear American Press: Please Get This – Truth Will Always Outweigh Bullshit
It seems so damned elemental it shouldn’t need explaining: Truth and lies are entirely different things. Being made of reality and real stuff, the Truth always has heft. The Truth can be unbearably heavy at times. Bullshit on the other hand — while it looks like it weighs a ton — weighs nothing. That’s what…

What Both Sides Actually DO Do…
When all this is done & dusted, I want us to promise ourselves that we’re going to enshrine in law the illegality of “Both Sides Do It” journalism. The Chuck Todd-ification of American journalism has not worked out well for us because (Duh!) it’s based on bullshit — and the nincompoop notion that everyone and…
