Back It Up Or It’s Bullshit
Nine years into the Donald Trump Era of American politics and our news media still can’t handle him. To this very instant, he handles them! A few journalists have always understood how to shut down sociopathic bullshit artists like Trump, but the overwhelming majority of journalists working here in America refuse to take notes and…

White Mediocrity Vs Everyone Else
Wanna know what we’re experiencing? It’s a grudge match, plain and simple – between white mediocrity and everyone else. How else to describe “Jews [or anyone] will not replace us”? The first time I heard that, I thought “why are you so afraid of being replaced? Replaced how? In what way?” Can I be honest?…

Dear Joe Biden: Your Age Is Not The Problem Here. New Rules Are
Joe Biden needs to step down now. Right now. And I write that as a person who absolutely believes that in 2020 – and up until this moment – Joe was the perfect person for the moment. But the moment changed. The Supreme Court changed it when they gave the POTUS extraordinary – and extra-Constitutional…

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 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,…

Republicans And Magical Thinking
Kellyanne Conway – Donald Trump’s staff Crypt Keeper lookalike – famously said that Trump World preferred “alternative facts” to actual facts. That was a remarkable statement when Kellyanne made it. We still hadn’t gotten used to the idea of Trumpanistas always saying the quiet stuff out loud. But, that’s what Kellyanne did: she articulated a…

Dear American News Media: Not Every Point Of View Has A “Point”
Opinions. Everybody’s got one. But, not all opinions are created equal. Not every point of view has a point. For instance – a not-very-bright ten year old’s opinion about world affairs (or a libertarian’s) will likely lack nuance. Same as a Republican’s. Our news media has decided it can’t judge anyone’s opinion – no matter…

Trump Is Now Trying To Do To The Rest Of America What He Did To The GOP — Turn Us Into Him
Donald Trump is a virus in human form. That shouldn’t be a revelation to anyone. Viruses are simple creatures — strands of RNA trying to make more of themselves. To do that, they need to invade a healthy cell — and use the cell as a kind of cheap sex hotel. The virus reproduces by…

Okay – What IF America Split Into Two Countries?
In a very real sense, we’re still fighting the Civil War. And, we fought the Civil War because, though we aspired to E Pluribus Unum, we tripped over “All men are created equal” because we didn’t mean “all” men and by “men”, we meant only “men”. America has always been a great idea poorly executed.…
