Failure Of Imagination Is A Very Real Thing; We Should Know — It’s KILLING Us
Some of us saw Donald Trump coming. Some of us didn’t. Those who did see it didn’t perform magic. We used our imaginations. We asked ourselves “Hey, what if Donald Trump actually became president — what (do I imagine) would actually happen?” What we imagined was massive corruption — the merging of Trump’s business with…

I Grew Up In The Shadow Of The Holocaust
It’s National Holocaust Remembrance Day. According to Donald Trump, “Jews” are a “nationality”. That’s not the first time a country’s leader has started down that road… Historically, it never ends well for Jews. I was born in 1959, 14 years after the Nazi concentration camps were liberated.

I’m…

What To Do When Your Imaginary Friend Is A Raging Asshole
We all have a friend or family member who “took to” religion while the rest of us ran from it screaming, our hair on fire. You know, guys whose feeble “Hey, have ya heard the ‘good news’ and can I ‘give you my testimony’?” when they were newbies in the cult turned into full on…

It’s This Simple: Every Single Judge Trump Nominated MUST Be Voided (SCOTUS Included): The Rule Of Law DEMANDS IT
The Rule Of Law is coming back — one way or another. The storyteller in me can’t see a storyline where an extreme (and extremist) minority party like the Republicans forces a state of permanent minority rule on America (and — most importantly — AMERICANS) and gets away with it. We’re way too independent for…
