It's where I write stuff
Race is a human construct. At the genetic level, there's no such thing. We are human beings, homo sapiens, despite different skin tones, hair types, eye shape, height and all the other variations our species enjoys. Men and women can procreate and create fertile offspring no matter our place of birth, and anyone with a few …
The gun culture in the United States is one thing, and there's lot of room for debate about its place in the modern world, but the hate culture is another story for which there is no debate. Our current political atmosphere is so toxic that all the pent up hatred toward specific groups of people …
I am one of those Americans who has not read the Mueller Report. I am instead, one of those Americans who has watched extensive coverage by legal minds who have read the report; those minds including former prosecutors, former FBI leaders, former CIA leaders, and countless career journalists who cover American politics. I felt like …
Donald Trump, the conman, tax cheat, grifter, racist, Nazi-sympathizing, misogynistic, admitted sexual predator who currently serves as President of the United States, thanks to an antiquated vote parsing system called the Electoral College, is up for reelection in 2020, but he's never really stopped campaigning. He has continued his rallies around the country where he …
The investigation that brought us 34 indictments and lots of guilty pleas by Trumpinistas finally dropped, and wouldn't you know it, no evidence of cozying up with the Russians. Just off the top of my head: Russian operatives execute massive disinformation campaign to influence US election. Trumpeters meet with Russian operatives in his office for …
This is a personal blog, as should be obvious to anyone who stumbles across it. However, I would hate anyone to get the impression that I'm either indifferent to what's happening at the highest levels of government or that somehow in my relative silence on the matter I'm in agreement. Today's action by the con …
I've just completed the HBO miniseries on our second President and found it deeply moving. It was brilliant on every count. The cast was superb, with performances so authentic the show never felt like a recreation of history, but as history itself. I've grown ever so tired of American politics and more often than not …
The 2017 Elections demonstrated one overarching theme: voters don't like Donald Trump. His preferred candidate for Governor of Virginia lost to the Democratic challenger, and Democrats won down ballot contests throughout the state. The Democrat won the NJ Governor's race over morbidly obese angry man Chris Christie's LT Governor. Job approval ratings for President Trump …
Conspiracy against the United States sound like a pretty bad crime. Add on a few more charges, that also sound pretty awful, like Conspiracy to Launder Money and being an Unregistered Agent of a Foreign Principal, and things look downright sleazy. My guess is that the President of the United States will now fire Special …
The fact that we are expected to pledge faith and allegiance and perform rituals like puppets whenever certain songs are played, or pieces of fabric are held high says a lot about the nature of being human. We aren't free. We're afraid to be free. It's why we get conned by cults, religions, dictators, snake …
