Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
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.
By now, everyone knows China plays the long game. While Westerners obsess over the next election cycle, Chinese leaders map out five-year plans like dynastic lords plotting for generations. But waiting centuries to exact revenge for the Opium Wars by peddling fentanyl across America? That shows the patience of a stone Buddha — and a… Read more.
In recent months, ICE has carried out a series of alarming arrests. Most people didn’t care when agents rounded up alleged Latino gangbangers and shipped them to de facto concentration camps in El Salvador. But now they’re unnerved. Because ICE is targeting foreign students for activities protected under the First Amendment. The Case of Rumeysa… Read more.
Exiled royals playing A-list celebrity “She thinks she’s the messiah” — that’s how palace courtiers summed up Meghan Markle behind closed doors, long before Megxit. She saw herself as a savior. Harry saw her as a queen to be worshipped, even if it meant defying the actual one. His pussywhipped devotion made lovesick puppies look… Read more.
MAGA hypocrisy in mishandling classified intel In a stunning display of incompetence, Trump’s national security team inadvertently shared classified war plans for Yemen with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg. National Security Advisor Michael Waltz accidentally added him to a Signal group chat where they discussed operational details for a mission executed days later. But let’s be… Read more.
