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…

Dear MSM: Donald Trump Doesn’t Stop Being A Traitor Just Because You Aren’t Telling THAT Story About Him
It’s bad enough what Donald Trump is doing to the country, the Constitution and the American People. It’s compounded daily by the MSM’s inability to get ahead of this story. Or grasp it at all.

Dear America — It Doesn’t Matter Whether We Know It Or Not — WE’RE AT WAR
We all know the story of December 7, 1941. At around 7:15 a.m. the Japanese Imperial Fleet attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just like that — America was “at war”. But, the Japanese had set their war machine in motion years before — designing it for just such a scenario. In…

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…

Donald J Trump Is EXACTLY What We Mean By “The Banality Of Evil”
The truth is even Hitler had to overcome his own core mediocrity to become “HITLER”.
