SENATE APPROVED AMENDMENT THAT WOULD LIMIT GUN BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR VETERANS WOW. Just wow. That headline sure threw me for a loop. Any idiot can tell you that the vast majority of shooters in America are former military [36%]. Duh. This amendment is like, THE LAST thing we need right now. Or ever. Because we […]
The Declaration of Independence, created by Thomas Jefferson, is a classic argumentative work. Jefferson makes his point clearly and convincingly, but his argument is more tightly structured and does not utilize the variety of different rhetorical approaches that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr uses in ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’. In that classic work, Dr. King […]
In The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir passionately outlines her philosophy concerning the relationship between men and women. She asserts that women should be acknowledged as “free and autonomous” human beings, in spite of the fact that they have traditionally been forced to assume the role of “the OTHER” – weaker, more emotional, inferior sex. […]
I agree with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This hideous budget deal should not be passed. It appears that the Dems couldn’t even wait for default before they caved into all of the GOP’s demands. Sad. If so many republicans are happy about it, it’s CLEARLY a terrible deal. DUH. That’s a dead giveaway we’re fucked. This is […]

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”-Isaac Asimov Over the decades, […]
“US says Russian warplane hits American drone over Black Sea“ Yesterday, US officials claimed that a Russian fighter jet struck the propeller of a U.S. surveillance drone over the Black Sea on in a “brazen violation of international law,” causing American forces to bring down the unmanned aerial vehicle, the U.S. said. But Russia insisted […]
Congress approved what the US mainstream media [MSM] is bizarrely calling a “landmark decision.” The bill received bipartisan support this week, following yet another spate of mass shootings. “While this bill doesn’t do everything I want, it does include actions I’ve long called for that are going to save lives,” President Biden spuriously claimed. As […]
Ever since I was a kid I’ve wondered what the hell happened to all those beautifully carved ancient statues with their noses smashed, eyes poked out and extremities chopped off.
