Historians will be pondering for years, how did the phenomenon of Donald Trump happen in the United States. Many will look to the end of the actual years of Trump, and at the most extreme elements of his following, and say it was all based on racism. Others will look at the incongruity of the support evangelicals gave to a man who openly bragged about physically dominating women he wanted to be intimate with — whether they wanted it or not.

Trying to understand Trump cannot rely solely on the Trump years; rather, we need to understand what happened over…

On August 26, 2016, Colin Kaepernick sat during the national anthem. When asked the next day why he had done so, his answer was simple:

I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color,” he told NFL Media in an interview after the game. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder (Kaepernick sat Before He Kneeled).

If the Republicans didn’t make such big deal about their love for the police, the “blue” as they call them, then I might not be so riled up by what recently occurred in Congress recently.

It seems that twenty-one Republican members of the House of Representatives voted not to give the Congressional Gold Medals to the Capitol Police for their defense of the building, and more dramatically our democracy, on 1/6. The names of these traitors can be found here.

In case you don’t want to click on this link, let me just name a few of these losers so…

I am not so sure why people are reacting with such surprise. Donald Trump’s Department of Justice was regularly forcing private companies to give data on “enemies” of the Trump administration — and did we expect anything different?

Of course, I didn’t know they were but I was pretty sure that they might have been abusing the power entrusted to them.

Every single day during Donald Trump’s four years in office was a new low for our nation, some days surging lower and faster than others, but always he and his criminal misfits were bringing us to corners of the…

Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) was questioning FBI Director Christopher Wray the other day. Laying the perfect verbal trap for the director, Gosar knew that if the director fell for it then he would have the perfect soundbite for fundraising among the crazy in the desert:

While questioning FBI Director Christopher Wray, Gosar asked, “Do you know who executed Ashli Babbitt?”

Wray paused for several seconds before responding, “No, I don’t know the name of the person who was involved in the Ashli Babbitt shooting (Kinzinger, Cheney slam Gosar).”

Remember, Gosar is from the party that worships the “blue.” He is…

I was recently listening to The Howard Stern Radio Show and Robin Quivers, Stern’s in-booth sidekick for the past four decades, marveled at some of the answers people give on the Family Feud. Often to the most basic of questions, like what do you do before you go to bed, the most off the wall answers can be given:

To the prompt “name things you do right before going to bed,” an off-the-wall answer like “drink a big glass of Mountain Dew,” could be heard although you might be expecting something like, “prayer,” or, “brush teeth,” etc. Both Ms. …

This is what the chip might look like. Obviously, in order to see the one being injected into us via the vaccines designed to fight coronavirus, it would need to be magnified hundreds of times. After all, the actual vaccine itself is a only a few grams of a clear liquid— there really is no room inside the tiny little glass vials to conceal such a rather bulky, and complex, transmitter.

Yes, it is true that a lot of our neighbors, the people you see sitting at traffic lights with smug “I know more than you do” looks on their…

Extremists are not fun people. Have you ever met someone at a dinner party, or a child’s recital, who seemed a bit too intense? They get flash-paper angry about things not deserving of really much attention? Even when they seem to be smiling, you can feel that just below the surface there is a boiling pot of crazy.

To the simple response like, “oh that’s nice,” you might get a ten-minute diatribe about the reasons “that” really isn’t nice and why having such an opinion only just “empowers them.” Who “them” is no one knows.

Extremists are always ready to…
