Guns Are Literal Death Machines
I suspect our problem is the word “gun”. It’s innocuous. And, it doesn’t really say what the thing it’s naming does. One can gun an engine, but that’s not shooting it. “Gun” has become generic and “gun control” too vague. I propose a fix. An honest one that starts with everyone acknowledging a few fundamentals […]

Hey, Russia, If You’re Listening…
How much treason does a traitor have to commit before our news media finally deigns it “treasonous”? Maybe a better question is “how much treason do they have to describe before they finally accept their own reporting as true”? One of the truly confounding things about Donald Trump and his assault on our body politic […]

Sampling Cicadas Wouldn’t Be Hard – Hell, I’ve Tried CHICKEN SUSHI!*
I just saw on CNN how ~25% of Americans would consider sampling a cicada. That’s surprising. I’d have thought fewer Americans would be open to breaking down such a huge cultural barrier. If Americans had grown up eating bugs — as some other cultures do — we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Food and culture […]

White Perspective Is A Bully’s Perspective
We get it — the idea of power sharing horrifies you; it always has. That’s why you’ve worked ceaselessly — regardless of whether you went by the label “Dixiecrat” or “Southern Democrat” or “Republican” — to prevent anyone NOT white from participating in American democracy — a thing you yourselves abhor. The problem with democracy […]

The Democrats Have A “Back Door” To Controlling The Senate — Via A Rejuvenated Department Of Justice
Let’s assume the worst case scenario for the sake of argument: Republicans “win” both Georgia Senate seats today. In light of Republicans’ penchant for cheating in order to “win” elections and their refusal to acknowledge losing should their cheating not prevail, any Republican victory (even in deeply red counties) must now be viewed skeptically. In […]

What Is It About Donald Trump That The WHOLE WORLD (Except For 70 Million Americans) Recognized?
What happened yesterday — after first NBC News then the rest of the world finally got on board and declared Joe Biden and Kamala Harris the winners — has never happened before. The result of an American election caused outbreaks of spontaneous joy to erupt not just in America but throughout the world. Church bells […]

The Best Thing One Can Say About Originalism Is That It’s Total, Utter Nonsense
Antonin Scalia — the King of Originalism — should have taken originalism to the grave with him. Not that the worms deserve either. Intellectually, originalism is the quintessential make-it-up-as-you-go-along, “White Guy” argument. “But the rules! But the rules!” says the one who wrote the rules, then broke them repeatedly then got upset when others threatened […]

What If We Told Our Story Backwards, Starting With: “Donald Trump Is A Corrupt Traitor”?
If I had a ranch, I’d bet it: we will establish beyond all doubt that Donald Trump did not “win” the 2016 election. It was STOLEN for him in large part by Russia who OWN Trump to the tune of $422 million or so — a loan that’s about to come due. We know Trump […]

Dear American News Media – Stop Acting Like The Dance Band On The Titanic
The Dance Band on the Titanic went down with the ship. America, like the Titanic, is sinking. The difference is we don’t have to. Our ship of state can still be saved. America’s news media can’t be blamed for Donald Trump. Fred and Mary Trump deserve that credit (oh, that we could go back in […]

Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave When We’re A Corrupt Treason Turtle
I bet Mitch McConnell woke up this morning in his turtle enclosure feeling on top of the world — just like his hero Yertl. But, just as Yertl ended up in the mud, so too will Mitch and all his grand plans come to nothing. Well, the grand plans weren’t Mitch’s. Mitch McConnell doesn’t do […]
