• Isn’t It Time We Called Out White Christian Victimhood For The Lie That It Is?

  Jesus, guns & babies? For real? Note to white, Christian “victims” of the culture war YOU declared – especially those so terrified of the rest of us that they must have all the guns they want – military grade killing machines included: the REAL victims in the world – untold millions of them yours – […]

• America Is Only Just Realizing It Has A “White Audacity” Problem

  The Kyle Rittenhouse verdict — in every way — points to how completely off kilter America is. “Self defense” now means you can provoke others to violence by threatening them with your gun but it’s their problem because their fists scared you into shooting them. Somehow hands grabbing a gun defensively equals bringing a gun […]

• Republicans Are The Spoiled Children Of American Politics

  Here in America, our family motto is E Pluribus Unum — out of many, one. It’s the good news and the bad news all wrapped up on one. The majority of the family has figured out that the family really and truly does best when more of the family prospers versus when, say, only a […]

• The Same White People Who Hate Critical Race Theory For Making Them “Feel Bad” About Their Racist History, Think Jews Deserve Punishment Cos “They Killed Jesus”

  Just think: if not for the pathogens they carried with them from Europe to the New World — pathogens that decimated the native populations — Europeans would have had a far harder time establishing a beach head in the Americas north or south. Knowing zero about germ theory, Europeans assume their rapid takedown of the […]

• A Constituency Of One

  “I alone can fix it” was a tell. For starters, it ain’t true. No one alone can fix anything. Donald Trump with an army of followers couldn’t fix a damned thing though, all credit to him, he and his army of trolls came damned close to “fixing” our democracy for good (and the bastards are […]

• “Responsible Gun Ownership” Is A Myth

  It seems the Robert Alan Long — the Atlanta shooter who claims his sex addiction, not his racism, motivated his killing spree — purchased the weapon he used to murder eight people, six of them Asian women, MERE HOURS BEFORE using it to commit murder. I’m not arguing the second amendment here. It exists. What […]

• The Slippery Slope Into Bullsh*t

  A huge chunk of America believes bullshit is true. Literally. You could hold up the truth and bullshit — side by side — and they’d gobble the bullshit right up without even thinking about it. Hmmmmm… Without even thinking about it. How is it so many Americans do things — like vote for Donald Trump […]

• Americans Need To Get It Out Of Our Heads: We DO NOT Do Everything Right

  My gut is, this very American attitude — “How WE Do It Is How It Should Be Done” — flows from, the MALE of the American species. It’s definitely got a “I alone can fix it” pong to it. You know how men are kind of “famous” for refusing to ever ask for directions when […]
