I’m waiting for all those loyal mask-burning republicans to return that stimulus money…because you know, the Democrat’s COVID-19 relief bill is too expensive and the country can’t afford it. At least, according to the GOP. Besides, coronavirus is fake news, anyway, right? Why hasn’t the GOP set up a GO FUND ME site or something […]
It’s official. Following last weekend’s annual ultra-conservative CPAC confab in Orlando Florida, the GOP is now the American Nazi Party. Photos of the CPAC stage floor plan went viral on social media, with thousands of Twitter users sharing posts comparing its design to an Odal rune, one of the ancient pagan symbols Nazis adopted in […]

The meteoric rise of GameStop stock was fueled by small investors snapping it up when it was cheap, using trading apps such as Robinhood, Trading 212, […]
[This is a re-post of a column I did for the Daily Lobo newspaper at UNM, back in 2012 or 2013. I posted it to my blog in January, 2015…sadly, it’s still relevant today] “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged […]
[Here is a re-post from 2016…] Martin Luther King, Jr.’s heartbreaking 1963 Letter from a Birmingham Jail is a classic rhetorical response to social injustice and to those who seek to perpetuate injustice either by ignorance, complacency, or tacit approval.

Finally some good news! Billionaire Sheldon Adelson, longtime fundraiser for the GOP and supporter of the vile Apartheid regime in Israel, has died at age 87. His timely death is a major blow to the forces of evil in the world. I am happy to report that Adelson is already burning in Hell. Mr. Adelson’s […]
