Taking Treason For Granted
It’s a stone cold fact: our news media now takes treason for granted. Just as true, they’ve been taking it for granted from even before Trump became POTUS. From the beginning, Trump has fawned over Vladimir Putin like a groupie fellating a rock star. Has anyone in main stream news media ever done a deep…

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?

Some Monotheists Think THEY Are God

Emilio Mola Vidal, a Nationalist general who served…

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.

We Need To Start Using The Word “TRAITOR” – And Meaning It
Donald Trump is a traitor. So is virtually the entire Republican Party. There. I said it. More to the point? I absolutely mean it.
