ood morning, kids. With the continued dissolution of what’s left of what was the United States, you’d be forgiven for not knowing that there was a town hall Q&A in New Hampshire last night with President Trump that was broadcast on CNN. That CNN’s ratings are the equivalent of a 5,000 watt college radio station somewhere…
Good morning, kids. On this day in 1940, you-know-who’s Wehrmacht smashed into the Low Countries and France, and in a mere six weeks had all of Western Europe in his grasp. Tellingly, on that same day. Winston Churchill became prime minister. In hindsight, it was a turning point but at the time the situation for sure was…
It is long past the time when Turtle McConnell’s words meant anything other than a punch line in a dystopian joke about the feckless Republican party. He has overseen the loss of seats during an election season that could have been an exceptional success, but his obeisance to his personal power, corporate America, his acceptance…
Good morning, kids. Taking in the situation we face, I have to admit I feel helpless. Not hopeless, God forbid. But certainly helpless.

Good morning, kids. Happy Sinko de Swimmy or whatever fercockamamie non-holiday this is. Meh, if you’re somewhere in the southwest and you do celebrate this or it is a tradition to celebrate it, apologies and have fun. I mean no disrespect. That said, considering that the border, such as it is which is to say…
Good morning, kids. Crime, or to be more precise, crime as a means by which the junta in power seeks to make the citizenry cede more of the freedoms to said junta for the promise of security, is today’s subject. First as a bit of a setup, the fiend who was captured yesterday after being…
Good morning, kids. Well, I guess the mellifluous incantations of Maxine “Love Canal” Waters (among others) continue to win friends and influence people, as Rep Matt Gaetz found himself the target of, pace everyone’s favorite incest aficionado, Jew-hater and immigration fraudster Bro-fo Omar, a mostly peaceful “something that somebody did.” “This past Saturday my wife Ginger and I…

Because with that comes the next step, which is the eradication of women from the public sphere. Sports is the most glaringly obvious place, with Will Thomas and…
