Opinion Polls v Horse Manure
If the Trump years have demonstrated anything, it’s the utter vacuity of our news media. When all this madness finally slows to a modified crawl (if it ever does) – after we’ve delivered justice to all those deserving it – we’ll turn our attention to the press. While a few intrepid news people have met…

What’s Going On Between The GOP And Vladimir Putin?
I’ll repeat the question – “What’s going on between the GOP and Vladimir Putin?” – because absolutely, positively, no-two-ways-about-it, something IS going on. And it has everything to do with treason. I’m old enough to remember when the Republican Party viewed Russia (The Soviet Union and Russia are pretty much the same thing) as the…

What Leadership Looks Like – And What It DOESN’T
President Joe Biden just gave a master class in “How To Be A Leader”, and another in “How To Lead”. Circumstances in the Middle East are pitched at a full boil. Israel is a war zone yet Biden 1) kept to his diplomatic mission despite the fact that all the Arab sides canceled on him,…

The Corruption Pro Am
It’s the fact-iest fact of our times: nobody does corruption like the modern Republican Party. Whatever other skill sets the GOP collectively have, they pale in comparison to the Republican facility with corruption. Man-oh-MAN, are they good at being corrupt! Watching the GOP everyday, it’s a lot like living inside a “Corruption Pro Am”. They’re…

Where The Hell Does Antisemitism Come From Anyway?
Antisemitism has been called “history’s oldest hatred”. That’d be quite an honor if it wasn’t so deadly and (worse) so wrong-headed. From the moment Jews first appeared in the historical record, they set themselves apart from the other tribes with whom they lived. Antisemitism predates Christianity and Islam. The Greek and Roman worlds both viewed…

The GOP’s Integrity Problem: They Haven’t Got Any
We all enter this world buck naked – and with our integrity fully intact. Soon enough though, we’ll stop being naked. As for our integrity, that’s a whole other matter. What is integrity? It’s our word being our bond. Our trustworthiness. How reliable a friend, a lover, a teammate, a leader are we? Can others…

Maybe It’s Time For “The Big Die”
Donald Trump has lived “The Big Lie” long enough. The Big Lie itself has lived far longer than it had any right to live considering the fact that it’s one hundred percent pure bullshit. It’s absurd that such a thing as “The Big Lie” is even a “thing” to begin with! But then, it’s absurd…

The Corruption In Our Midst
New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez epitomizes the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Senator Menendez’s corruption – and this ain’t his first time at that rodeo – gave the news media all the proof it needed that, yes-indeedy, “both sides do it”. But aside from the corrupt act itself, there’s nothing else here that “both…
