Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Eugene Robinson is “the Washington Post columnist, MSNBC analyst and author.” He appeared in his second capacity on yesterday’s edition of Morning Joe to discuss the Trump administration’s latest dystopian meme. This one has everyone from Attorney General William Barr to Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany parroting the big lie that there’s no systemic racism in… Read more.
Here is how I stated the unassailable principle that I believed would compel the Supreme Court to rule same-sex marriages legal: It is a self-evident truth that not allowing gays to marry is an even greater violation of the fundamental equal/civil rights all citizens should enjoy than not allowing blacks to vote. (“Same-Sex Marriages Now… Read more.
“Defund the Police!” has become the battle cry of George Floyd anti-racism protesters. Listening to them chant it, however, you’d be forgiven for recoiling in consternation and despair, bordering on fear. Never mind that they often come across like a mob of stonemasons, each with only one hand, hell-bent on building another Tower of Babel… Read more.
Supporters of President Donald Trump are being asked to immunize his campaign from COVID-19 liability claims if they want to attend his next campaign rally. ‘By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J.

Evidently, President Kim Jong-un of North Korea is feeling like a woman scorned. Never mind that he behaved throughout his affair with President Trump like a shrew – too uptight to screw. North Korea accused the U.S. of breaking promises it made at a historic summit two years ago, saying the Trump administration had turned… Read more.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I hate the manufactured sentimentality that prevails at times like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. But I trust it is as self-evident why this day is different as it is that “all men are created equal”… Even so, I am only marking it because of its manifest relevance… Read more.
Evidently Trump is still smarting – not only from the way the media mocked him for hiding in the White House bunker from George Floyd anti-racism protesters, but also from the way ex-military leaders rebuked him for using US soldiers in that infamous photo-op. He clearly hoped the latter would make him look like a… Read more.
Anti-racism protesters have begun lynching statues dedicated to white racists of all types. Baying “Black Lives Matter!,” they seem hell-bent on dishonoring the legacies of those targeted for the wrongs they perpetrated against blacks during their lifetime. Triggered by the police killing of George Floyd … protesters in Bristol, in the south-west of England, tore… Read more.
President Trump bungled the fight against Covid-19 and cowered in the face of the George Floyd anti-racism protests. Therefore, it’s hardly surprising that polls show former Vice President Joe Biden defeating Trump handily in November. A new CNN/SSRS poll shows former Vice President Joe Biden opening up his biggest lead yet, 14 points over his… Read more.
