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…

Democrats Govern, Republicans Rule; There’s A Difference
Whatever “it” is the news media thinks both sides do? They don’t. And pretty much never have done. Though our corporate press insists Democrats and Republicans are variations on the same theme, they could not be more dissimilar.

Crimes Against Democracy
Yesterday felt distinctly like a horror movie. The SCOTUS announcing they’d hear Donald Trump’s immunity gambit sent shock waves coursing through the news media.

America A Christian Nation? God Forbid!
Fundamental religious faith and rule-of-law democracy are mutually exclusive propositions. Fundamental faith demands unthinking fealty. Rule of law democracy demands that we think. While the men who wrote America’s founding documents were all Christians of one stripe or another, Deism “subverted orthodox Christianity“. Many of America’s founders practiced a brand of Christianity modern American Christians…

Has Anyone Mentioned That There IS NO RIGHT To “Gun Ownership” In The Second Amendment?
We keep having the same “gun arguments” – more guns vs fewer guns – because we assume those are the only “gun arguments” to be made. That, somehow, over time, we’ve made all the anti-gun arguments there are. Well, I’m here to tell ya that’s bullshit!!! I think there’s one argument staring us in the…
