How Much Benefit Of The Doubt Can One Man Get?
If we rewarded people for their overt corruption, Donald Trump would win gold reliably. From his failed, corrupt university to his failed, corrupt steaks, airlines, mortgage company, magazine, network and vodka et cetera, a single human being could not embody inept failure and bottomless corruption any more than does Donald J. Trump. Trump is inept…

Dear American News Media: Please Stop Sucking At Your Jobs
American journalism continues to fail at its most basic job: presenting the truth. It doesn’t help that Americans no longer agree on what the truth is. That, too, is another of American journalism’s failures. They’ve lost the capacity to discern truth from un-truth themselves; instead, they present all information as if it had equal value.…

Liars And Language — How Tongues Get “Forked”
Lying, by definition, is deliberate. That’s why liars choose their words carefully. They KNOW what they’ve done or aspire to do. They KNOW that, on some level, whatever it is, it’s absolutely wrong, immoral, unnecessary or illegal. If their aspiration was good for the commonweal, they’d crow it from the rooftops. Obviously, it’s not. Therefore…

What If Lying Were Physically Impossible? Could Donald Trump — Or Any Republican — Still Exist?
No one ever has to lie. That’s just by definition. A lie is something we do deliberately with the absolute intention of misleading whoever we tell it to. You can argue whether a sociopath like Donald Trump knows he’s lying but the fact is he KNOWS there would be consequences to telling the truth —…

Among All The Animals, Only Human Beings & Monkeys Are Capable Of Lying; Then There Are Republicans…
Some time before humans and apes went their separate ways, something fused into our hominid brains that — no matter how we split off and evolved — stayed with us, as hard wired into us as the impulse to breathe: lying. Sure, sure — plenty of animals use deception. Blue Jays imitate other birds to…

Giving Liars The Benefit Of The Doubt Isn’t “Journalism”, It’s Just “Stupid”
This shouldn’t be rocket science (yet it is to our MSM): giving a liar the benefit of the doubt tells the liar his lies are working. For some reason – perhaps because their Normalization Blinders are bolted on too tightly again – our MSM persists in repeating Donald Trump’s words as if they COULD be…

Americans Need To Kick Their Addiction to BABY TALK
All over America, talking heads are swooning. Rashida Tlaib — one of the new Democratic Reps — called Donald Trump out for being the mofo he is. You’d think she’d called him a traitor. That would have been a far dirtier word… Understand — by ‘baby talk’ I do not mean anything remotely ‘gaa-gaa-goo-goo’. I…

My New MANTRA: “Back It Up — Or It’s BULLSHIT”
Bald-faced LYING has become a National Disease. How could it not — we have a ‘president’ for whom lying is as natural as breathing. But then, the party that backed and backs him has a long, ‘illustrious’ history themselves of setting the Truth aside in the interest of keeping Power and Making A Buck. Our…
