Trump Effect: He created the atmosphere and catalyst for EL Paso mass shooting.

Another week another mass shooting in America by a white supremacist in America. How long will it take most to recognize the face of terrorism in America instigated by the Trump Effect, our racist president?

“Trump Fatigue”

Remember those two dreaded words? after the intense backlash to Trump’s presidency with the Women’s march, in the months that followed, as atrocity after atrocity piled up, and daily life seemed to devolve into one long, endless episode of “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest,” many people feared that the...

San Antonio nixes planned Chick-fil-A airport location over company's anti-gay efforts

Even if I ate chicken sandwiches — which I don’t — I’m sure I could find a better place to get them than Chick-fil-A. Like, say, a Hardee’s dumpster. Or a the beak of a seagull in a Walmart parking lot. Because, well, fuck them. Thankfully, I’m not the only...

Cold-Blooded Murder – Of a 7 Year Old.

A drive-by murder. Now a manhunt. The father of a 7-year-old girl killed in a drive-by shooting pleaded with the public to help authorities in the manhunt for a gunman who opened fire on a mother and children in a car near a Houston-area Walmart. “I just want anybody, whoever,...

Mr President, meet Medusa. Medusa, meet lunch.

Now I know for sure that I’m getting up there in years, because I find myself ore and more pining for “the good old days.” A kinder, simpler time, when everything was well defined, and things were black and white. You know, like 2017? Donald Trump beat the odds, and...

The anti-Semitic history of Fox News' 'War on Christmas'

This year, unlike previous years, it feels particularly egregious to suffer Fox News and their moronic flock’s annual persecution complex over f-ing Starbucks red cups (or whatever) after what they did to promote the actual persecution of immigrants and minorities. 2018 will be remembered as a year the GOP went off...
