Dear American News Media: Please Get This Straight — Both Sides Do Not “Do It”
And both sides don’t do everything for political reasons either. Let’s put that out there straight away. I’d love to know where exactly — at which Journalism School — “Both Sides Do It ” journalism was born. Surely something as pernicious, as stupid, as poorly thought out sprang from one confused human mind, manifesto-like. I’d…

Let’s Say Donald Trump COULD “Cancel” The Next Election — What Then?
The thing we keep re-learning during our run-in with Trumpism is that there truly is no “bottom”. There is literally NOTHING Donald Trump won’t do to dismantle, undermine, betray, sell out or destroy our Democracy. His very well-being depends on his staying in power. Remember — we may think of him as just “Donald Trump”…

The Problem With “Doing Nothing”…
Got a problem? Doing nothing will not solve it. That’s a stone cold fact. That’s not to say you can’t get lucky — and time resolves what your inaction didn’t. But that wasn’t you solving your problem, that was you hiding from it until a solution presented itself. Not the same thing. One of the…

If Brett Kavanaugh Is Still Working As A SCOTUS Judge, That Means The Rule Of Law Is NOT Working
The Rule Of Law is kinda like a soap bubble made of iron. In and of itself, it’s incredibly solid — it’s made of iron, isn’t it? But it’s still got the delicacy of a bubble. There’s no “slightly popped”. There’s popped and not popped. The Rule Of Law is a radical notion if you…

Let’s Say We DO Put Donald Trump Behind Us — Okay… What Then?
We want to believe that, in the end, Good will triumph over Evil. But just because we believe something, that doesn’t make it true. Humans used to believe the earth was the center of the universe. Fortunately, enough humans learned (via scientific curiosity and scientific discovery) that we are in fact nowhere near the center…

There Is Only One Answer – Election 2016 Must Be Completely Voided
It’s taken almost 3 years for the Main Stream News Media to broadcast things that, when loons like me used to say them, got eye rolls so hard they nearly burst out of the heads rolling them. Russia — or any other bad actor — COULD ABSOLUTELY hack into voting machines — in real time…

Donald Trump Is The American Caligula… That’s Not A Good Thing
Not A Revelation: Donald Trump thinks he’s King… or, in German — “Kaiser” — the Germanification of the name “Caesar”. But Donald Trump is such an incompetent, that he can’t even get being a “Caesar” right. He’s gone and modeled himself after another Roman emperor — Caligula. We keep reaching for the words to describe…

On This Perverse Independence Day, A Reminder — American Exceptionalism Is REAL: It’s Our DIVERSITY…
Today may be July 4, but it doesn’t feel like a normal Independence Day. More like… Trumpendance Day. Not a national celebration, a national tragedy. If our problem were only Donald Trump — his corruption, his crime family and their spider web of self-serving criminal enterprises — his treason — this “problem” would have been…
