But, First, Donald, Explain RUSSIA
It’s mourning in America. Nobody saw this coming. At all. And, those now saying they sensed something like Donald Trump’s electoral victory, I want to point out – what they sensed, they sensed in an atmosphere poisoned by disinformation, misinformation and propaganda. Were this normal political junk mailers and emails, it’d be one thing. This…

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…

“Elections Have Consequences” – STOLEN Ones Especially
Let’s put this on the table first: Donald Trump has projected every single one of his criminal acts onto others. Even back in 2016 – when everyone still refused to take Trump seriously – he was projecting a stolen election. He wasn’t making it up. He knew whereof he spoke. And the thing on his…

Dear American News Media: Please Stop Sucking At Your Jobs
American journalism continues to fail at its most basic job: presenting the truth. It doesn’t help that Americans no longer agree on what the truth is. That, too, is another of American journalism’s failures. They’ve lost the capacity to discern truth from un-truth themselves; instead, they present all information as if it had equal value.…

“Putin Pays Rohrbacher And Trump – Swear To God!” Should Have Been The END Of Donald Trump
When the complete history of our era finally gets written, I betcha one of the things future generations shake their heads at is how we allowed Donald Trump to be a free man for most of his life. Keep in mind, that history will be written long after every treasonous Republican who enabled, supported or…

Is Corruption Some Sort Of “Super Power”?
Consider corruption’s remarkable power to destroy everything good in a heartbeat. Consider how hard it is for good to wipe out corruption. Now, corruption itself is just an abstract idea – it’s greed asserting itself in some form or another – wanting more for oneself than one is entitled to. More money, more power, more…

One Last Possible Sign Merrick Garland Isn’t Failing Us As AG
Having Team Biden’s competent hands at the helm makes it even more amazing that we survived four years of Donald Trump. Never mind the bottomless incompetence, if the only scandal that came out of the Trump years was Ginni Thomas’s insurrectionist behavior and her husband’s not-exactly-subtle attempt to use the SCOTUS to protect her, that…

We The People & The Authority To Govern Us
What, really, is the point of democracy – of this experiment of ours in self-government? The business of governing a large, diverse, complex society is full time work. Being a politician was never meant to be full time work; our founders envisioned citizen-politicians who dedicated a few years to the commonweal then returned to their…

The Picture Definition Of “Treason”
“Treason” is a loaded word. At least it used to be. Like “Nazi” or “fascist” or “authoritarian”, “treason” was a word that, if you were the first to spew it, it meant you weren’t serious, that you were all feelings over facts. Ironically, in America, it’s still one hundred percent kosher to call anyone left…

Russia, If You’re Listening…
The world is poised, uncertain what Russian leader Vlad Putin will do to or about the Ukraine. How one calculates that uncertainty depends upon who you are. If you’re Joe Biden, for instance, you rely upon decades of involvement in intelligence matters as a US Senator and as Vice President. Real world experience is the…
