That Look In Lindsey Graham’s Eyes
Remember back when Lindsey Graham said Trump was a kook and a racist and a bigot and that nominating Trump would lead to the end of the Republican Party. And that they’d deserve it? How about the Lindsey Graham who used to call John McCain his BFF? What happened to that guy? How did he…

Let A Jury Have It!
American justice is still a work in progress. Once we finish flushing white corruption from it (if Donald Trump represents anything, it’s white corruption) the rule of law will finally have a chance to flourish. I believe it will because a diverse America will keep an eagle eye on it. One of the clever bits…

Kevin McCarthy: Speaker Of The House & Treason’s Poster Boy
Wanna talk Rogue’s Gallery? Let’s talk Republican Speakers of The House. From Newt Gingrich (he the GOP’s culture war against the rest of us) to Denny Hastert (convicted pederast) to Paul Ryan (record breaking ineptitude), Republican Speakers have been disastrous for America. Kevin McCarthy kicks that up a whole bunch of notches. As far as…

In America, Rich White Guys Have A “Margin Of Error”
What can explain the fact that Donald Trump – a criminal’s criminal – walks around a free man after all the crimes he’s committed?

All Opinions Are NOT Created Equal
Everyone has an opinion. In America, we believe everyone has that right – to hold an opinion that’s uniquely theirs (no matter how goofy). It’s a wonderful thing! But just having an opinion doesn’t make that opinion correct. It’s entirely possible to hold an opinion completely formed by feelings with not an iota of fact…

In Their Defense, Corruption Just Comes “Naturally” To Conservatives
Where corruption’s concerned, both sides don’t do it because both sides can’t. They don’t have the means. Put aside political labels for a second. Ideology may inspire corruption but without the money and power to realize those inspirations, ideology is a nice car without an engine. Those with money and power have the tools required…

Why Religious Hypocrites Are The WORST Hypocrites
When history looks back at our time, I suspect they’ll see it as a Golden Age of Corruption, Greed, Racism and Hypocrisy. The four horsemen of our modern apocalypse (to be sure, there are a few more horsemen riding with them – Misogyny, Bigotry and Ignorance). As bad as the other three are, Hypocrisy, though…
