Japan’s Pearl Harbor Surprise Attack Wants To Teach Us A Lesson About Right Now; Will We Listen?
We think of WWII starting for Americans the moment the Japanese attacked our Naval base at Pearl Harbor. That’s not entirely accurate. The Japanese arrived at Pearl Harbor and started bombing it — killing Americans & doing grave harm to our navy. But the Japanese didn’t just suddenly appear at Pearl Harbor. They had to…

Integrity Is An All Or Nothing Proposition
Nothing is funnier than a Republican drawing himself up, having just been asked a serious question about his integrity. He knits his brows, purses his lips and goes all “earnest” with his voice. Mitch McConnell talking “patriotism” — having just lifted the sanctions punishing Oleg Deripaska for changing the outcome of election 2016, say. That’d…

Dear MSM — No, It ISN’T About POLITICS
The most insidious form of “Both Sides Do It” journalism is its insistence that, no matter what, it’s always about politics. Democrats objecting to Republicans suppressing Democratic votes (they never do seem to suppress votes evenly between Republican voters and Democratic voters) is — in this view — political rather than legal. Those stolen votes…

“Get over it” Is How Republicans Intend To Finish What They Started
Make no mistake – what the Republican Party pulled off election day 2016 was nothing less than a soft coup d’état.

Republicans Are The “Mission Accomplished” Party; That’s Great Until You Realize What Their “Mission” Is…
Who can forget W aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, May 2, 2003 – proudly proclaiming just what the banner behind him said: “Mission Accomplished”. That image haunted W’s presidency. It haunts him to this day because nothing had actually been accomplished. The only thing they’d succeeded at, mission-wise, up to that point was successfully hanging…

Corruption, Thy Name Is GOP
Politics is the art of compromise. Republican politics is the art of making compromise unnecessary because the other side is powerless to stop you. To the GOP’s credit, they saw from a distance that they had a problem and actively did something about it. Post Reagan, as America’s demographics trended with greater rapidity away from…

Dear MSM – Giving The Benefit Of The Doubt Is Not Journalism
It’s not a stretch to say that at least 90% of our Main Stream News Media has failed miserably in their reporting on Donald Trump. From not doing their initial homework on Trump (as Fusion GPS did when first hired to do oppo research on Trump by the Washington Free Beacon – research that convinced…

Republicans Have No Idea What “Integrity” Is — “Ditto” The Rule Of Law
Ever meet a guy with 96% of his integrity intact? “Yeah — he’s pretty honest most of the time… it’s that 4% where he’s a goddamned liar that’s the problem” is not a sentence one hears often. There’s a reason. Integrity either is or it isn’t. There’s no middle ground, no grey area. In fact,…
