The More Perspective One Has, The More Criminal Trump & The GOP Look
I suppose if you suddenly sprang into being right next to Donald Trump — so his essence, his aura, his version of the world was all that you knew — HIS version of the world might seem possible. But step outside the treasonous bubble of Trumpism — and a 2 X 4 of realism goes…

The Reason Both Sides Don’t “Do It” Is Because Both Sides Aren’t The Same
Our news media insists (all evidence to the contrary) that the only difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the letter next to their name. No, they’re not the same. Of course they’re not. Republicans, being conservatives, want to CONSERVE. Being as you can’t conserve the future, conservatives want to conserve the present but…

Dear American Press: Please Get This – Truth Will Always Outweigh Bullshit
It seems so damned elemental it shouldn’t need explaining: Truth and lies are entirely different things. Being made of reality and real stuff, the Truth always has heft. The Truth can be unbearably heavy at times. Bullshit on the other hand — while it looks like it weighs a ton — weighs nothing. That’s what…

What Both Sides Actually DO Do…
When all this is done & dusted, I want us to promise ourselves that we’re going to enshrine in law the illegality of “Both Sides Do It” journalism. The Chuck Todd-ification of American journalism has not worked out well for us because (Duh!) it’s based on bullshit — and the nincompoop notion that everyone and…

Dear MSM – Get This Through Your Thick Skulls: It’s NOT “Political”
The worst part of Both Sides Do It journalism is its stupid assumption that everything must be political. That’s the dopey go-along with “Every argument has two sides”. People may express two sides but that doesn’t mean there are two sides — and it certainly doesn’t mean that if there are “two sides” that those…

Dear News Media: Repeat After Me — “Both Sides Don’t Do It, Both Sides Don’t Do It, BOTH SIDES DON’T DO IT!!!”
Maybe our news media’s problem is one of projection. They can’t walk & chew gum at the same time so they assume Democrats can’t and citizens can’t. But, thing is, anyone who isn’t a journalist CAN do two things at once. Some of us can even hold two conflicting thoughts in our heads without our…

Not Only Don’t Both Sides “Do It”, Both Sides Don’t Even APPROVE Of “It”
Maybe our news media’s problem is one of projection. They can’t walk & chew gum at the same time so they assume Democrats can’t and citizens can’t. But, thing is, anyone who isn’t a journalist CAN do two things at once. Some of us can even hold two conflicting thoughts in our heads without our…

What Did YOU Do In The CYBER War, Daddy?
Anyone who thinks it takes bombs and bullets to win a war is an idiot doomed to lose every war he ever fights going forward. Please — let’s not that idiot. Call it asymetrical war, call it cyber war. Call it anything you like. Russia is waging it against us regardless of what we call…

What If The Truth Is We CAN’T Handle “The Truth”?
A core question we each have to wrestle with: what’s our personal relationship with “The Truth”? You know what I mean — the TRUTH: the stuff we know about ourselves (being ourselves) that no one else could ever know or will ever know. The stone, cold TRUTH we all know down deep. Who we really…

It ISN’T About Politics, Part II: Even For Republicans It Isn’t Always About Politics; Sometimes It’s About Criminal Conspiracy…
Dear MSNBC, CNN & The Whole Rest of The MSM: Yesterday I ranted at you for ascribing everything the Democrats do to “politics“. It’s not true. Some people, when they take an oath of office, actually take their oaths seriously. To assume everyone does what they do for political reasons is to assume every one…
