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…

2020 Will Be Different BECAUSE So Many Women Are Running
Our Main Stream News Media sure love a horse race. I guess it’s because horse races are easy to report. Who’s the favorite (according to the odds makers)? Who’re the jockeys? Then – when the race gets run — the winner is almost always easy to identify. A simple story for simple minds to tell.…

Slavery Sucks. All Forms Of Slavery, That Is — Including The “Subtle” Ones…
Slavery has been a thing homo sapiens do (we don’t know if any other human species did it) since we figured out we could force someone else to work for free. Slavery, in its essence, is stolen labor. Yes, it’s a stolen life. But, from the point of view of the enslaver, the goal is…

Our Dirty Secret: We Now Accept A Shitload Of Corruption As “Normal”. Spoiler Alert – BLAME THE MEDIA
Spoiler Alert Redux: BLAME THE MEDIA. They betrayed our trust in them. I bet money had something to do with it… Yeah, yeah — it’s not entirely the media’s fault.

Dear MSM: You Screwed Up Reporting Trump-Russia. OWN IT!
A very real day of reckoning is coming for America’s Main Stream News Media: They helped perpetuate the False Narrative that nearly destroyed our Democracy. How many kazillion times has a TV News Talking Heads round table collectively nodded, “Yeah – THAT’S why!” when one of them explained away Trump by saying “Well, the American…

American News Media’s Biggest Fail: They SUCK As Storytellers…
There’s an art to telling a story. It isn’t just knowing how to line up the beginning, middle and end in the right way so the story makes sense… Anyone who’s ever listened to someone massacre a joke knows what I mean. A joke, after all, is just a story — sketched out in a…

Does Anything Epitomize Conservative Thinking Better Than ‘A WALL’?
We stand on a precipice — one of many precipices we seem to end up standing on here in The Age Of Trump — being held hostage by Donald Trump’s campaign slogan ‘Build The Wall’. It’s absurd on it’s face. If you tried to WRITE this — as a script or a novel — you’d…

Something About This Kinda Shouts ‘Bullshit!’
My local 99 Cents Only Store was doing some product testing for the still nascent republican health care plan. It’s kinda ‘pay-as-you-go’. You pay, get nothing – that’s how it goes. I wonder what the deductible will be…

What Did YOU Do In The Culture War, Daddy?
There are times — at the beginnings of wars usually — when one side knows a state of war exists while the other side doesn’t. Pearl Harbor comes to mind. On the morning of December 7, 1941, the residents of Hawaii — Pearl Harbor in particular — slept soundly in their beds, unaware that they…
