Most westernized countries treat their citizens to a far higher standard of living than the US. In addition, and they have much more freedom of choice, despite what most Americans believe. In the EU they have free healthcare, free college, paid sick leave and mandatory vacations, faster, free internet, better newspapers, better magazines, better cars, […]
On the eve of the two-month anniversary of the Pulse massacre – where we lost 49 people killed inside an LGBTQ nightclub, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio spoke at an anti-LGBT summit in Orlando called Rediscovering God in America Renewal Project. Although The Don did make an appearance, it was the disgraced Marco Rubio who made the […]
America’s reaction to the Black Lives Matter(BLM) movement has been baffling. If millions of black people are saying they feel threatened by the police – shouldn’t that be a cause for concern? Instead of reaching out and trying to understand and then work on alleviating those fears the police have behaved like thugs, not BLM. They […]
Colin Kaepernick is taking a knee for his beliefs. I respect him for that. The whole pseudo-controversy surrounding Kaepernick’s mild protest is simply another meaningless side-show meant to divert America’s attention from matters of real importance. These incidents merely serve to further indoctrinate the country’s already docile masses and inculcate them with even more nationalistic […]
That headline should have been plastered across America’s newspapers last week. If we still had newspapers. Earlier this month, the National Conference of State Legislators – a bipartisan government watchdog organization – declared that the reform efforts of individual states in the wake of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) had been a miserable failure.

Sandernistas, Clintonites and Trumpanzees: these are all useful idiots for the American empire. Let’s be clear about America’s so-called “democracy” and “freedom of choice”: we have neither. I can’t understand how anyone thinks they have any kind of choice in a country of 260 million people that can only muster two parties with two slightly […]
(Hot off the presses! This is a rush transcript of the acceptance speech Donald Trump plans to give at the RNC tonite! Truly inspiring words!) “Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We are white, we […]
Boy, I sure am happy for all those billionaires who made another couple billion dollars this week. If there was ever any FURTHER proof needed that capitalism is inherently evil comes the news that global stocks hit an all-time high yesterday. A new record! The financial rulers of this planet actually make more money when […]
Neoliberalism is an insidious form of class warfare. Just ask the middle class how they feel about their fragile economic state while the 1% keep amassing more and more wealth. Society is supposed to function to improve the lot of everyone, not just a tiny minority at the very top of the financial food-chain. I […]
THEY’RE COMING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS!!! Along with the ridiculous “good guy with a gun” concept, this is the dumbest argument put forth by the gun-humpers. Your collection of puny little pea-shooters doesn’t guarantee you will be protected from the state. They don’t need your guns. Their guns are bigger than yours: WAY bigger. The […]
