above the law

It’s very interesting and quite significant that Labor Secretary Alex Acosta resigned so quickly when his role in protecting billionaire Jeffrey Epstein from Federal prosecution a decade ago recently came to light. Normally these guys will fight tooth and nail and deny, deny, deny until the very end. In the past, president* Trump’s strategy would […]

what dictatorship looks like

What is happening today in America is exactly what happened in Germany in the 1930s. No one had the guts or the wherewithal to stand up to the Nazis back then, and the rest is history. President* tRump’s ‘celebration of America’ this past 4th of July weekend pretty much sealed the deal. I couldn’t stand […]

good riddance!

Goodbye, Sarah “Huckleberry-Hound” Sanders, we hardly knew ye. Thank god. Last week, Sarah Sanders announced she was stepping down as “president” tRump’s spokesdemon. She was an inveterate liar, only worse. She was an Uber-Christian, evangelical liar. Gosh, there must be what, like hundreds of passages about lying in the Buybull. I assume she should know […]

Umerkin values

California’s loathsome Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter’s wife Margaret pleaded guilty last week to conspiring with her husband to “knowingly and willingly” convert hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funds for their own personal use. She has agreed to cooperate with State prosecutors in the case against her husband, Duncan “Donut” Hunter (as he is […]

LIFE OF BRIAN

Organized religion is predicated on finding things NOT FUNNY. Humor and religion simply don’t mix. But you can’t control the minds of cynical, critical thinkers – and having a healthy sense of humor is a big part of critical thinking. It’s the same for all authoritarian systems, though: once the masses start laughing at you, […]

Coachella 2019

Coachella 2019 looks pretty crappy to me. Okay, I’m an old fogey, but I scanned through the line-up and all of the online pics from weekend one and there was only one picture of a musician actually playing an instrument. Do any pop acts actually play instruments anymore? And what’s with the K-Pop shit? So […]

Evangelicals

Evangelicals love tRump because they think he’ll usher in the Apocalypse. That’s why they’re so willing to overlook his habitually immoral and sinful behavior and the fact that he’s obviously just paying lip service to Christianity – or Judaism, for that matter. The anti-LGBT and anti-women stuff is just icing on the cake; and tRump […]

brave New Zealand

Following the mass shootings at two Christchurch mosques that killed 50 people, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that all military-style semi-automatic weapons, assault rifles and high-capacity magazines will now be banned in that country. “On 15 March our history changed forever. Now our laws will too,” Ardern said at a press conference in […]

from now on

When you first came to me I was holding on Dangling by a thread Losing my grip Starting to slip Confusion filled my head Remember the time I was so bitter You saved my life After a while I stopped holding out And listened to my heart Finding a way to Live for today Enlightenment […]
