We’re Confused About “Leadership” Because MEN Have Fooled Us Into Thinking THEY Were “Leaders”
One of the first games we play with each Democrat who jumps into the crowded pool of 2020 presidential candidates is “Gotcha!” with their past. The current environment has finally swung toward the Progressive wing of not just the Democratic Party but of the American Electorate, too. Joe Biden, for instance, is being hoist on…

Help! We’re Living Inside A False Narrative & Can’t Get Out!
From the moment we “accepted” that Donald Trump had “won” the presidency, we’ve been living inside a False Narrative — that Donald Trump won. The implications have been devastating. From the get-go, Trump himself has defensively knee-jerked the word “legitimate” into the conversation. As in “No collusion, my presidency’s legitimate!” If Trump wasn’t a serial…

An Atheist’s Easter Sermon: Why REALITY Matters More Than Ooga-Booga
Christmas is a pagan holiday redirected. For all its “holiness”, all its fanciful storytelling about Wise Men from the East and stars that shine above spots on a planet light years away from them, Christmas still celebrates something; it’s a happy holiday. Easter, on the other hand, is about Christianity’s core message: “Jesus died (but…

The ‘Good News’ Is The Bad News: We’re ALL Making It Up As We Go Along…
What “is”? Maybe the better question is: “What ISN’T?” What isn’t TRUE? Every single one of us faces that question multiple times every single day. We base the success of a day on how well we navigate that question. “What should I wear today? The weather forecast said rain but they’re wrong so often…?” In…

Dear American News Media: It’s Gut Check Time… Are You Up To It?
I’ll admit it straight up. I’m a “news addict”. I keep my office TV tuned to the news (mainly MSNBC) most of my waking hours. In between I’m tuned in to the same place via satellite radio and my phone. I dare not look away. I don’t watch for the news — except for the…

True Fact: I’m An Atheist Who Loves Churches
I’m always fond of saying (or selling t-shirts that say) “I am grateful to Hebrew School for making me the atheist I am today” (the t-shirts also have “…grateful to Sunday School…” & “…grateful to Sunday School…” versions because I’m all about being inclusive). I suspect I was born an atheist but whatever lingering doubts…

A Democracy’s Bottom Line Must Be Its Principles – Not Money or Power
Let’s take it a step further: OUR Democracy’s bottom line must be its principles — not money or power. Let’s frame it correctly though. OUR Democracy’s principles started off un-principled. We cut a deal with slavery. We accommodated it and it cost us dearly. We fought a Civil War because we compromised our principles. We…

It’s Time For “Benefit Of The Doubt” Journalism To Be Put To Sleep
Dear American Main Stream Media: I’m going to give you “the benefit of the doubt” here and assume that the REASON you employ “benefit of the doubt” journalism isn’t because you’re malicious assholes but because you suck at your jobs. While I know that, on the surface, “benefit of the doubt” journalism is just you…

Breaking News: Trump HAS Been Working On A Health “Care” Plan: TrumpCare PICK-AN-ORGAN
Finally – a health “care” plan that thinks like Donald Trump does — and “takes care” of people the same way. The problem with normal health insurance is you end up paying to insure stuff that probably didn’t need insuring — odds being what they are. Take your gall bladder. What are the odds that’s…
