White Mediocrity Vs Everyone Else
Wanna know what we’re experiencing? It’s a grudge match, plain and simple – between white mediocrity and everyone else. How else to describe “Jews [or anyone] will not replace us”? The first time I heard that, I thought “why are you so afraid of being replaced? Replaced how? In what way?” Can I be honest?…

Dear Joe Biden: Your Age Is Not The Problem Here. New Rules Are
Joe Biden needs to step down now. Right now. And I write that as a person who absolutely believes that in 2020 – and up until this moment – Joe was the perfect person for the moment. But the moment changed. The Supreme Court changed it when they gave the POTUS extraordinary – and extra-Constitutional…

Democrats Govern, Republicans Rule; There’s A Difference
Whatever “it” is the news media thinks both sides do? They don’t. And pretty much never have done. Though our corporate press insists Democrats and Republicans are variations on the same theme, they could not be more dissimilar. If the last decade has demonstrated anything – again and again and again – it’s that Democrats…

Conservatives Are All “C-Words”: Corrupt, Craven, Contemptible, Cowardly & Criminal
If the Trumpification of the Republican Party has proven one thing above all others, it’s this: conservatism – as a political philosophy – is a black hole of CRAVEN racist, misogynist, bigoted fear-based hate. Unable to win elections honestly, conservatives have sought instead to win elections by limiting the electorate to just their voters. And…

Conservatives Prove Again And Again: They’re All “C-Words”
As Niki Haley proved last night, conservatives in America are all “c-words” starting with COWARDS, CRAVEN and CORRUPT. Two weeks ago, Nikki was huddling with her homies (her donors), insisting that Donald Trump was “unqualified”. Now, despite the fact that Trump’s “unstable and unhinged” – and despite the fact that Trump is now closer to…

Republicans Are The New Confederacy
Oh, the irony… The Party Of Lincoln is now the official political party of The New Confederacy. You think it’s a coincidence that the current Republican Party likes flying confederate flags? Flags are symbols. They compact lots of ideas into a simple, single image. American flags concentrate “what it is to be American” into their…

Crimes Against Democracy
Yesterday felt distinctly like a horror movie. The SCOTUS announcing they’d hear Donald Trump’s immunity gambit sent shock waves coursing through the news media. This should have been a no-brainer for the Supremes. A simple “no thanks” would have sufficed. Instead, at least four of the sitting “Justices” gave Trump one more day in court…

Fifth Column Traitors And Republicans
That headline could just as easily read “Republicans Are Fifth Column Traitors“. Same difference. A traitor is a traitor is a traitor. And the Republican Party isn’t just the Trumpist Party now, it’s the party of treason. The term “fifth column” originated during the Spanish Civil War. Emilio Mola Vidal, a Nationalist general who served…

Banality Of Evil Super Stars: JIM JORDAN
The writer and philosopher HANNAH ARENDT coined the term “the banality of evil” to describe ADOLPH EICHMANN and the Nazi environment. Not only had they accepted a brutal, thoughtless approach to everything – where crimes against humanity could happen – they were, by nature, extremely banal themselves. And their own native banality contributed to the…
