The Corruption In Our Midst
New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez epitomizes the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Senator Menendez’s corruption – and this ain’t his first time at that rodeo – gave the news media all the proof it needed that, yes-indeedy, “both sides do it”. But aside from the corrupt act itself, there’s nothing else here that “both…

Republicans And Mediocrity: It’s A Love Thing
The words “greatness” and “Republicans” only go together so long as one is being sarcastic. If the GOP had in word and deed remained “The Party of Lincoln”, it would have been entirely impossible for them to ever have become the Party Of Trump. The Republicans are not now the Republican Party that Lincoln joined…

The divide seems more intractable than ever. It is. The way our news media reports it, America is split 50-50 between two…

We Should Give Republicans & Conservatives The America They Want — But Only If We Put A Wall Around It First
As we watch our Democratic Republic slowly sink beneath the waves of corruption, let’s play a thought experiment. What if we could “give” Republicans & conservatives the country they want America to be? What if we could arrange so that if you want to live in Trump’s America, you go live in the south. Want…

The Rule Of Law Doesn’t Really Exist – We Made It Up. If We Want It “To Be”, We Have To MAKE IT “Be”
Americans take so much for granted. I know I took for granted that I lived in a representative democracy where everyone played by the same rules. Unfortunately, Republicans don’t take our system of government for granted — they want to destroy it. Some Democrats — and most of the news media — take Republicans completely…
