Dave Chappelle Broke the Mirror

7d19b8dc-b86b-494b-90f8-2a694185ef22-Dave_Chappelle_Press_Image-eb79559b

I was recently asked; what do you think about the Dave Chappelle controversy? Without explanation, I knew the questioner was referring to his recent Netflix comedy special “The Closer.” I must first confess that I am a big fan of Mr. Chappelle. His now-defunct late-night sketch comedy show, his stand-up,...

Cheney Is Exposing the GOP as Liars, and They Can't Allow That [Update: WH Weighs In]

We’re seeing more and more stories that Liz Cheney is about to be tossed under the bus, that the Republican “leadership” is so in thrall to Trump and his base, so dedicated to the service of Trump’s ego and his lies, that they are preparing to cast Cheney into the...

CA-Gov: Buckle Up Buckaroos! The Recall Election Is Peak Trump/GOP “Own The Libs” Culture

Lost relevance continues with more of the same Trump delusions up-chucking soon, signaled by the latest Big Lie interview with Fox News, likely leading to more revisionism.

A Personal Reflection – And Another Reason to Elect Biden

Allow me a moment of personal reflection as we watch the country once again get torn apart over race. I’m not Black; I’m Jewish. (There are very very few Black Jews.) I grew up on the history of 2000 years of persecution. I study the history of religion and I’ve...

ME-Sen: Maine Women, “Susan Collins (R) ‘right’ and our ‘right’ aren’t the same thing anymore”

AUGUSTA, MAINE -- 12/05/18 -- Maine Speaker of the House, Sara Gideon, D-Freeport. Troy R. Bennett | BDN

From Salon: Women voters who propelled Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, to wins in four consecutive Senate races have increasingly soured on the so-called “centrist” Republican as her record has drifted farther right since President Donald Trump's election. Maine is a uniquely women-dominated state. About 77% of women residents are registered to vote,...

SC-Sen: The Hill, “Graham's (R) embrace of Trump fuels competitive fight in South Carolina”

The Hill had a piece this week that goes into how U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham’s (R. SC) full embrace of Trump might be putting his re-election bid in danger: Graham’s alliance with Trump has helped him avoid a nasty primary fight, while fueling Democratic efforts to unseat him in November....

Krugman: Conservatives Insist They Are Never Ever Wrong

Paul Krugman is always a pleasure to read, in that he is so often right, and so often cuts to the heart of the matter. This morning’s column is particularly insightful: Trump and His Infallible Advisers Trump and company didn’t make a one-time mistake. They grossly minimized the pandemic and...

Joe Biden Endorses Two Referendums To Fund Schools In Milwaukee & Racine Going Into WI Primary

I’m liking this: Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden came out in support of a pair of Wisconsin school district referendums on Tuesday, a week before the state's presidential primary election. The highly unusual move of a presidential candidate weighing in on a local school referendum comes as Biden and other...

FDR's words of resolve: 'We are now in this war. We are all in it–all the way'

If you need a break from the current American confusion, fear and loathing surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic, let me suggest as an antidote reading President Roosevelt’s December 9, 1941 “fireside chat” radio broadcast to the nation. At a time of far greater peril than we face today, FDR delivered a message...

Follow(ing) the Leader or Leadership

The Impeachment of Donald John Trump, 45th President of the United States has made me ponder the difference between leaders and leadership.  I have come to the conclusion that Republicans require leaders and Democrats want leadership.
