Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Granted, Sean Spicer made it clear on Day One of Trump’s first term that you can’t believe a word his press secretaries say. After all, beyond displaying abject loyalty, the only real job requirement is a cult-like willingness to parrot the lies — big and small — Trump spews every time he opens his mouth.… Read more.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia: ‘administrative error,’ and zero accountability The Trump administration’s deportation program has always been a cocktail of malice and mismanagement. But its treatment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia reeks of the collateral damage we expect only from autocracies like Russia. It deported him to El Salvador. Never mind that, like hundreds of other deportees,… Read more.
Alexander Ovechkin just did the unthinkable. He passed Wayne Gretzky to become the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer, netting his 895th with the kind of grit, consistency, and sniper precision that defines greatness. And yet, no true fan — of Ovechkin or Gretzky — can celebrate this milestone without choking a little on the irony.… Read more.
Here’s my speculative take, for what it’s worth. This isn’t a catfight. Sure, Susie Wiles schoolmarmed Trump’s political comeback. But no amount of political strategery can compete with naked seduction. Because the only aides Trump values more than those who stroke his ego are those who stroke his manhood. And, when it comes to the… Read more.
Adams jumps from indictment to Independent Yesterday, NYC Mayor Eric Adams announced he’s ditching the Democratic Party to run for reelection as an Independent. But no one should’ve been surprised. After all, allegations of corruption have made him even less popular than that other congenitally corrupt native son — Donald J. Trump. More to the… Read more.
Booker showed MAGA Trump is more Thurmond than Eisenhower Senator Cory Booker made history this week, speaking on the Senate floor for 25 hours and 5 minutes. He was protesting the Trump administration’s cruel, corrupt, and unconstitutional policies. In doing so, Booker shattered Strom Thurmond’s infamous 1957 record of 24 hours and 18 minutes. Back… Read more.
Marine Le Pen is the far-right firebrand who would be to France what Donald Trump has become to America. And in keeping with that fateful symmetry, she too is now a convicted felon. Of course, the charges Le Pen faced — misusing about €4.4 million in EU funds — pale in comparison with the four… Read more.
[Author’s Note: This commentary was originally published on March 31, 2005. Sadly, 20 years later, the more things have changed elsewhere, the more they’ve stayed the same in Haiti. So I’ve updated it — with a few new facts and, alas, the same old misery and hypocrisy.] Haitian migrants aren’t causing a crisis so much… Read more.
That leaked Signal chat from Trump’s national security team proves why this administration’s cuts to education are the bureaucratic equivalent of cutting off its nose to spite its face. So the dumbest administration in US history is dismantling the Department of Education. The irony would be laughable – if it weren’t so, well, Orwellian. Still,… Read more.
