Things Both Sides DON’T Do
Some day, when Donald Trump is behind us and the Republican Party lies beside the Whigs in the American History Cemetery, we’ll have to turn our gaze on the news media. The press utterly failed us at the moment we most needed them to fulfill their Constitutionally mandated role as the last check on power.…

The Problem With Conservatives Is WHAT They Want To Conserve
I give conservatives full credit: they tell you who they are and what they want right up front. They want to conserve. The problems (always) start however with what they want to conserve. For one thing, it’s never the future. One can’t conserve what hasn’t happened yet. Even if one could, conservatives would refuse to…

So Much For A Level Playing Field…
This morning, the SCOTUS did what everyone expected it to do: it put a stake through the heart of affirmative action. Race can no longer be a factor in deciding public or private college admissions.

Trump’s Espionage Activities Started Well BEFORE He Became POTUS
Yesterday afternoon, America reasserted the rule of law. We The People federally indicted Donald Trump for crimes he committed against us. Though we don’t formally know the exact charges at this moment, the news media has sussed out a few of them: “willful retention of national defense secrets, obstruction of justice, false statements and conspiracy“.…

America Is A Great Idea Poorly Executed
While it would be neat and tidy if every first draft was the final draft, it never ever works out that way. Hell, I don’t know why we even call it “writing” when all good writing is really “re-writing”. If we had any sense, we’d call it “re-writing” to begin with so everyone understood how…

Waiting For Trump’s Indictment Is Like Waiting For Godot
Whoever is scripting this life of ours needs to calm the eff down. You can only keep an audience on pins and needles for so long before they turn on you. Though he’s evaded punishment of any sort his entire life, Donald Trump is about to face real accountability for the very first time. At…
