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 […]
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… […]
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 […]
So what is it about white male American cops which enables them to shoot Black people in the back on such a regular basis? Clearly they are essentially cowards and they’re scared shitless of Black people – especially Black men – but it’s more than that. Part of it is endemic racism, yes; but a […]
A recent BBC News report cuts to the heart of the matter: Long queues to vote in the US have been celebrated by some of those who endured them as a welcome sign of enthusiasm. Outside of America, however, there was a very different take… The scenes of US voters forced to stand for hours […]
