DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO

The international community was all in a huff last week when Belarus’s vile president, Alexander Lukashenko, personally authorized the forced landing of a Ryanair flight carrying a political opponent and activist, blogger Roman Pratasevich. Neo-Nazi Pratasevich was removed from the plane and arrested after the jet was forced to land in Minsk, the Belorussian capitol. […]

THE FOOTHILLS [a new song]

We live up in the foothills behind your sprawling house I’m sure you never noticed We’ve been quiet as a mouse but we like your fancy car and your RV, too And your kidney shaped swimming pool it Looks quite nice I’m surprised we haven’t already been invited inside Sometimes when you’re gone we sleep […]

SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

Matt Gaetz, a prominent neo-Nazi Republican congressman from Florida – and one of former “president” Donald tRrump’s most ardent boot-lickers – is under investigation by the DOJ for sex trafficking of a minor.

The hypocrisy of all that “freedom and justice for all” bullshit is never more odious or obvious than during the month of February. Following the race riots of 2020, the […]

Few of us are aware that the rebels who died defending The Alamo weren’t the legendary folk heroes we’ve been led to believe. They were defending the Alamo from the Mexican army, not for any noble […]

Traitors

I woke up on January 6th, 2021 and told my wife it was going to be a pivotal day in US History…I kind of expected something but didn’t know what. For some reason I was compelled to watch tRump’s entire speech that morning. That was the first time I actually saw him speak more than […]

what bi-partisanship looks like

Everyone in DC had their panties in a bunch this week because for the first time EVER, the “president” vetoed the annual re-installment of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act). In a show of incredible bi-partisanship considering the divisive state of American politics, the Senate overwhelmingly over-ride Trump’s veto over 2 minor provisions of the […]
