I’m not sure if this is an indication that the COVID pandemic is winding down or that civilization is. It might be both, honestly, but that’s not for me to decide. Ricky Schroder first came to prominence as the kid on Silver Spoons. I tuned in once, because I just...

He’s got a new book, so a conservative Niall Ferguson appeared on TV this morning whitewashing the Trump administration’s competence, or lack thereof, as if the fault lies with more systemic faults, despite the deliberate Trump sabotage of Obama-era pandemic planning. Catastrophes of politics, in pricey Ted-like talks. As if there no...
In a lengthy discussion on the brewing internecine war between Republicans, Jake Tapper stood firmly on the side of truth. Appearing on Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s New Day, Tapper noted that Republicans, for the most part, simply aren’t good-faith actors anymore. Of course, while the truth is fairly easy to...
Oprah Winfrey’s query of the exiled Royals was a superfluous gesture to most black Americans. That was until she brought up the subject of the baby royal, Archie. By exposing what most black men and women around the world know, that racism exists from the commoners to literal Kings and...
For much of the world’s history, we have been ruled by violence and its descendants. Kings won their thrones by having better fighters than their opponents. Transfers of power meant inheriting that throne or by violently seizing it. On those rare occasions where power changed hands non-violently from one living...
Slowly we turn…. more Trump revelations ahead as his recorded talks with Putin are now available to Biden and Ukraine releases tapes of Giuliani hectoring them to investigate Biden. Then again there’s the distant hope that a vain Trump will be frustrated enough to testify before the Senate. Maybe a cat lawyer...
If you are agruing or discussing the vote to a person who claims to be a Christian please ask them to explain this because they are going to have to explain it to God, if they support these things God hates. A Fool’s wrath is presently known: Proverbs 12:16 Proverbs...
Only kings or potentates, dictators, and despots believe the propaganda of their own words. The worst of them, impose it by force and murder. King Salman, President Erdogan, Supreme Leader Khamenei, and President for life, (lest you risk being poisoned), Vladimir Putin have all declared themselves either supreme or believe they should...
Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, the jarvanka of Roger Stones tried a new scam to suppress votes with a robocall in major cities to misinform Black voters. The Trumpian bamboozle is strong with them. Trump had an average audience of 21.6 million viewers Thursday. Biden’s final total was 24.6 million...
The redoubtable Gabe Sherman has another inside look at the paltry, ping-ponging passel of brain cells flitting about our pr*sident’s capacious kopf. Inside sources tell Sherman that Trump is becoming increasingly paranoid over coronavirus — simultaneously worrying that the media are hyping the virus to make him look bad and fretting that...
MSNBC just reported with the Breaking News that Barr has taken over the sentencing of Roger Stone and it appears he is trying to make the Mueller Report disappear. Well Susan, he sure learned his lesson ( Trump) didn’t he? He learned there is absolutely no rule of law even...
There are 11 Democrats still standing in the breach between democracy and autocracy in America. Last night President Trump’s deliverance of the State of the Union subjected us to another cavalcade of lies and showmanship. The uncontrolled immorality of President Donald Trump was on full display, from awarding the Medal...
Oath of offices for republicans, disregarded by a sham Senate impeachment trial, apathy and unconcern and downright distraction from half of the voting public and denial plus addiction is what 2020 looks like so far. We have loyal followers of the so called King. It is no longer All the president’s men...

So many underlings doing their jobs, so much disloyalty. Mr. Trump first expressed his dismay about Michael Atkinson around the time the whistle-blower’s complaint became public in September. In recent weeks, he has continued to raise with aides the possibility of firing him, one of the people said. The president has...
Trump announces at a Pittsburgh shale conference that his wall will be built in Colorado. Senator Patrick Leahy observes that Trump could do it with a SharpieTM. https://twitter.com/MollyJongFast/status/1187138147949469703? More Trump lies in yet another quasi-campaign speech because he’s fracked. Trump is being introduced at the shale conference by campaign donor Harold...
Can we agree that money in politics, especially from corporations and oligarchs, is not healthy for our democratic process? But we have a political system that equates “free speech” with how much money you can donate to a political candidate or campaign. Until that system changes, we are stuck with...
Received this e-mail from former Congressman, U.S. Senate candidate and Presidential candidate, Beto O’Rourke (D. TX), in support of JD Scholten’s (D. IA-04) congressional campaign: JD Scholten (D. IA-04) Steve King is Congress’ most out-in-the-open bigot. He’s well known for embracing the term “white supremacist.” This week, he told a packed club in...
Every so often one encounters a myth about electric vehicles that's so odd it makes you scratch your head. When it happens just once, it's easy to dismiss, but when it keeps popping up, it becomes time to address it. In recent weeks, I've seen multiple people assert that, “Sure,...
Thousands of years ago, magic was afoot. Gods and goddess walked the earth in human form. Everywhere Buddha walked 2500 years ago, lotuses sprouted in his footsteps. Period art depicts Buddha’s birth taking place within a lotus flower. What if folks had gathered up the lotuses from the Buddha’s footsteps and...
It’s a mystery why the NFL continues to be more concerned about Donald Trump’s concussion-like symptoms than those of their own players and former players, but that’s the world we live in now. Because Trump commands a giant, fiercely obedient army like one of the orc kings of old — and...
Did any of you guys have a younger brother when you were growing up, or you ladies a younger sister? You’d be hanging with your friends, trying to be all cool and shit, and they’d be bouncing around like a neutrino, yapping like a Yorkshire terrier, and ruining all of...
