Good morning, kids. Thursday and before I dive into the continuing breakdown of any gossamer-thin fig leaf of a pretext of law and order, comity and business as usual that has revealed the raw lust for power of America’s worst enemy — a third of its own citizenry and at least 90% of its own…
Good morning, kids. Well, it’s a good day insofar as Liz-ard Cheney got her ass kicked in yesterday’s primary by Trump-supported Harriet Hageman. Also, up in the Last Frontier, Sarah Palin has advanced in her bid for a House seat but unfortunately, the emu/Skeksis-looking hybrid Lisa “the Alaskan Snowblower” Murkowski won her primary. UPDATE/CORRECTION: the HQ’s…
The idea of an all-powerful government that ignores our rights protected by the United States Constitution used to be an academic exercise for the vast majority of us. The Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law was paramount, and stories of the clearly guilty being freed or never found guilty because of…
Good morning, kids. Tuesday and despite all the media spin that Trump lied about the DOJ seizing his passports, only to have the DOJ come and admit that indeed they were taken, the most important points to remember about this entire horrific, nightmare scenario is that in a sane and just world, there was absolutely…
Good morning, kids. Monday, and while the Gestapo-like raid on Mar-a-Lago still dominates the news, a couple of stories that occurred over the weekend frame it rather fittingly. First, Salman Rushdie, the author of the book The Satanic Verses was stabbed multiple times at an event in upstate New York and remains in grave condition. Published in 1988, the…
Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and a story out of my erstwhile hometown has some relevance to the situation we find ourselves in. A buck naked homeless derelict was just strolling through the City Hall subway station the other morning, as commuters walked by like it was nothing. So, what’s worse, the naked guy or…
America (and the rest of the West) should be proud of the incredible work that we have done over the last two generations to clean up our mess. We didn’t pay much attention to pollution: in the air, in the water, on the land, and then in the 1970s our country noticed something…we were breathing…
Good morning, kids. Thursday and the fallout over the in-your-face Gestapo raid on Mar-a-Lago continues to rain down on our heads. The question is does it portend “justice rolling down like water” to paraphrase MLK jr. or radioactive debris? This raid, and no doubt the show trial that will follow that will include a smoking…
Good morning, kids. Wednesday and in the wake of the junta’s Gestapo-like raid on Mar-a-Lago, the pundits are out there analyzing the fallout. A number of them are prognosticating that this maneuver all but guarantees President Trump will at the very least be the nominee and that what happened makes his re-election in 2024 a…
The National Socialist German Workers’ Party ran Germany from 1933 until the end of World War II in May of 1945. In a quirk of their own design, in spite of being the very heart of the effort to destroy the Jewish people, they killed about 70% of Germany’s Jews, in large part because they…
