Fascism Is Just Another European Pathogen
European culture and military superiority didn’t conquer the Americas, European pathogens did. By the time European colonists had landed enough armed men to do actual battle with anyone, European germs had reduced the native population by as much as 90%! Armed Europeans may have thought they and their culture were superior but their superiority was…

The GOP Didn’t Just Turn Fascist
The way our news media reports it, Trumpism took over the Republican Party quite suddenly – like a terrorist hijacking an airplane. Prior to that? The GOP was an honest actor, holding up its end of the greatest experiment ever in human self-government. Don’t blame the poor GOP for what Trump and Trumpism have done…

Not Everyone Has A Sense Of Humor
When people like Donald Trump (or most Republicans for that matter) try to deflect by saying “I was joking” about something, they’re lying.

The Takeaway From Tuesday’s Election Should Be: In American Politics, Nothing Succeeds Quite Like Racism
Our news media still thinks it’s “journalism” to ask a racist if he thinks he’s a racist. It’s one of those stupid questions that’s so stupid, it’s shocking that anyone older than five would ask it. It’s like asking Hitler if he’s an anti-Semite. Really? You have to ask? And, what if Hitler denied being…

Evil’s Too Smart To ‘Billboard Itself’; That’s Why It Births Itself In Banality…
Maybe it’s ‘my’ fault… ‘Our‘ fault if I include the rest of my screenwriting ‘tribe’. I could widen the tribe out to include anyone and everyone who ever helped make a movie that gave an audience the notion that Evil is BILLBOARD OBVIOUS the moment it ‘walks on stage’. Alas, if only more of my…
