To Void Election 2016 Or Not To Void — THAT Is The Question (It Isn’t Really — VOID IT!)
In fairness, it’s hard to get one’s mind around what’s happening to us. Russia launched an aggressive intelligence operation against us and election 2016 that succeeded beyond its wildest hopes. They literally MADE Donald Trump president. C’mon — take Russia out of the Trump equation and he doesn’t get through the primaries. Take Russia &…

What Did YOU Do In The CYBER War, Daddy?
Anyone who thinks it takes bombs and bullets to win a war is an idiot doomed to lose every war he ever fights going forward. Please — let’s not that idiot. Call it asymetrical war, call it cyber war. Call it anything you like. Russia is waging it against us regardless of what we call…

Republicans & The Culture Of Ignorance
Republicans didn’t always used to be champions of ignorance. Funny irony?

Dear American Main Stream News Media: There’s A Difference Between “COMPLEX” & “COMPLICATED” — Trump-Russia Is Complex; It Is NOT Complicated…
Let’s try and make this simple. Love is complex but it should never be complicated because the act of loving, itself, is simple (regardless of how complicated some people make it). Same token — the Trump-Russia story. It’s staggeringly complex with a million moving parts and (by design) lots of layers to make connecting all…
