It’s a pattern historians have seen many times before: It starts with the quiet dismantling of oversight and the abolition of regulations, and it ends with institutions that serve only those in power. The US used to have strong institutions and a vigorous vocal opposition; but seeing these government watchdogs being laid off and summarily […]
No doubt 2025 will be another banner year of record profits for the US arms dealers and multinational oil companies. Even though US troops aren’t currently engaged [officially] anywhere, the war machine still raked in trillions of dollars in profits supplying military operations in Israel and Ukraine. Apparently there is no power in heaven or […]
The USA was birthed as a genocidal White male Christian society. It remains so today. That is the DNA of this nation. It was never a true democracy, and the USA has struggled to embrace women’s equality or civil rights. That’s the root of what MAGA is all about: a desire to return to the […]
America is well and truly fucked. The ultra-right wing evangelicals, the billionaires, the MAGA morons and the Supreme Court have all made sure the word “democracy” only applies to them. Not only Trump, but any president in the future can now reign as dictator. If he wins, Trump will rule as long as he pleases. […]
People need to understand the true reality of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s legacy. The mainstream media [MSM] has co-opted and twisted his message since he was assassinated in 1968. MLK was considered an enemy of the state for his political activities related to the Civil Rights movement. He became a marked man once he […]
Once again the US stands alone against the entire world in opposing any ceasefire in GAZA. I am ashamed and disgusted to be an American. Again. Why must we always be on the wrong side of history? The day after vetoing another UN resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, “president” Biden cynically bypassed Congressional […]
Just as I predicted 2 years ago when the scandal broke [“Surprise, Surprise!”], Matt Gaetz is off the hook. Loathsome, slimy republican Representative Matt Gaetz, Donald tRump’s personal Buttboy, said on Wednesday that the justice department has ended a sex trafficking case with no charges against him. According to The Guardian, Gaetz, who represents the […]
If the US supreme court weakens or overturns Roe v Wade in an upcoming decision on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, states will be left with a confusing patchwork of laws that will likely lead to legal challenges. Not to mention a totally divided nation. Now, not only are we divided by race, religion and social […]
Like, why is there no ‘JFK Remembrance Day?’ Why is there nothing at all to commemorate this date? We commemorate 9-11 every goddam year. Why not JFK? The Power Elite hated President Kennedy and everything he stood for. While the rest of the world mourned his tragic death, they were celebrating. But the horrendous tragedy […]
In the wake of heartbreaking scenes of unmitigated chaos coming out of Kabul, Americans shouldn’t be asking themselves how this could happen again, or why our vaunted intelligence agencies once again failed to predict this totally predictable human catastrophe. No, the question Americans should be asking is: WHERE IS THE CIA GOING TO GET THEIR […]
