Then President-elect Biden promised to reopen schools in his first 100 days. Now, we learn that promise actually meant 50.01% of schools open at least one day a week, meaning schools don’t really have to open this year. “Hopefully it’s more,” they say. Well, hopefully more students don’t commit suicide in the meantime. There’s nothing… Continue reading Biden lied and students died?

The Era of the Asterisk Impeachment
“The fact that an action is lawful is no defense,” and so the experts sum up how radically the mainstream media and politicians have bastardized impeachment, reducing it to nothing more than a show trial complete with a script and spoilers for the ending. Does anyone really believe this is how things are really supposed… Continue reading The Era of the Asterisk Impeachment
Coronavirus: Get ready for The NeverEnding Story, only this time it’s not a fable
We’re finally getting some good news, but for some experts the fight against the virus will never end as future pandemics are already linked to Global Warming, big money is being made, and the Biden Administration appears unwilling to push for normalcy. Can young people having illicit sex save us all? The battle against coronavirus… Continue reading Coronavirus: Get ready for The NeverEnding Story, only this time it’s not a fable
Time Magazine: “They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it”
A shady “cabal” coordinates a “conspiracy” on secret Zoom calls attended by “powerful people,” funded by billions of dollars from partisan interests, resulting in a complete rewrite of how we conduct elections. Who are the conspiracy theorists now? “A well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to… Continue reading Time Magazine: “They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it”
The Capitol Attack one month later: Who’s responsible? Trump? Right wing militias? White supremacy? A new domestic terror threat?
A new report from The Atlantic of all places suggests a much more complex picture of the supposed insurrection than any of the prevailing Trump as would-be Osama bin Laden narratives, even as Trump’s historic second impeachment trial looms next week. Former President Trump’s second impeachment trial begins next Tuesday, February 9. The charge before… Continue reading The Capitol Attack one month later: Who’s responsible? Trump? Right wing militias? White supremacy? A new domestic terror threat?
Wait, AOC wasn’t even in the Capitol Building during the assault? Whatever happened to worrying about irresponsible rhetoric?
In less than two weeks, the Congresswoman from NY calls Ted Cruz a murderer, insinuates a Capitol Police Officer might have come to kill her, and likens being in another building during the attack to the trauma of surviving actual sexual assault. Apparently, some need to be more careful with their language than others. In… Continue reading Wait, AOC wasn’t even in the Capitol Building during the assault? Whatever happened to worrying about irresponsible rhetoric?
Are we all racists now? An honest question in a world where acronyms, yes acronyms, are suddenly a tool of white supremacy
Acronyms aren’t the only thing, either. Have you ever been a perfectionist? Exhibited a sense of urgency? You might be a white supremacist. How an absurd paper from 20 years ago still influences concepts of racism today. Perhaps, it would be easier if they told us what wasn’t racist and we can work from there.… Continue reading Are we all racists now? An honest question in a world where acronyms, yes acronyms, are suddenly a tool of white supremacy
1776, revisited: A few questions for President Joe Biden
Biden says the 1776 Commission is “offensive,” “counterfactual,” “ignorance and lies.” Well, if Biden were George Washington, what exactly would he have done differently? How would Biden have ended slavery at the time of the founding? And does he endorse The 1619 Project? I’m rescinding the previous administration’s harmful ban on diversity and sensitivity training… Continue reading 1776, revisited: A few questions for President Joe Biden
GameStop: A populist revolt on Wall Street is quickly crushed by our financial masters, promptly compared to the attack on the Capitol by former officials
The free market turns out to be not so free as the financial elite swoop in to save their own skins, literally stealing from the common folk and sacrificing our interests for their bottom line while blathering about protecting us from ourselves or something. Sound familiar? Not unlike what we saw on January 6 on… Continue reading GameStop: A populist revolt on Wall Street is quickly crushed by our financial masters, promptly compared to the attack on the Capitol by former officials
Whatever happened to democratic norms? Free speech, the filibuster, nine Supreme Court Justices, and fifty states, suddenly aren’t norms?
Freedom of speech, a norm since 1791. Filibusters since 1837. Nine Justices on the Supreme Court since 1869. 50 states since 1959. All are currently on the chopping block. It’s almost enough to make you think the raging against Donald Trump breaking political norms was just hard-nosed politics and ginned up outrage. Less than two… Continue reading Whatever happened to democratic norms? Free speech, the filibuster, nine Supreme Court Justices, and fifty states, suddenly aren’t norms?
