Growing up in Southern California, the xmas holidays were always a pretty depressing time for me because we never got any snow and we never got to have a ‘white Christmas.’ December in Riverside isn’t that much different from June; the weather was pretty much the same ole thing all year long; year after year… […]
Every year the US president has been obliged to pardon a turkey for Thanksgiving. There is a long-standing tradition of presidents sparing birds from the Thanksgiving table – dating back to Abraham Lincoln and receiving formal pardons every year since George HW Bush. For 2020, a turkey named ‘Corn’ was chosen for that honor at […]
It is clear that tRump never plans to concede. This is the most likely scenario: once the election is certified in favor of Joe Biden, tRump will claim the election was stolen; he will then announce his candidacy for 2024, and his minions will be unleashed upon the citizenry. tRump will spend the next four […]
Russian President Vladimir Putin is very proud of Comrade tRump. tRump has been a known Russian asset since at least the early 90s, and ever since then he has – wittingly or unwittingly – been the cornerstone of Putin’s most successful intelligence operation ever.

People experiencing the fallout from COVID-19 are just learning what poor people in America have known for quite some time: that they are totally expendable. Not only to their government, but to their friends, co-workers and neighbors who managed to hang onto their jobs. Many folks were forced to return to unsafe workplaces rather than […]
