Trump begs MAGA supporters to save his gilded tower Donald Trump shamelessly milks his MAGA supporters for money to cover his bills. His fundraising tactics range from hawking gilded sneakers to sending desperate SOS emails. The subject line — ‘Keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower’ — was repeated at the start of the email in bold, italics and… Read more.
The Gaetz playbook: vacate the Speaker Matt Gaetz ran for Congress to become a household name. But he soon discovered that authoring legislation or performing oversight was not getting him the media attention he coveted. So, he decided that leading a band of congressional mutineers to vacate Speaker Kevin McCarthy might do the trick. It worked. That mutiny made Gaetz the… Read more.
Federal law vs. Texas law The federal government has exclusive authority to enforce immigration law. That’s because federal law takes precedence over state law. This precedence stems from the Supremacy Clause, a bedrock principle of the US Constitution. That’s why Texas petitioning the Supreme Court for the right to enforce its own immigration seemed so farfetched. It made… Read more.
‘King Charles’ Charles Barkley is both informative and entertaining when discussing basketball. Clearly, CNN assumed he’d be equally so when debating politics and social issues. Spoiler alert: CNN couldn’t have been more wrong. I’ve watched several episodes of his show, King Charles. Suffice it to know that it came across as the most cringeworthy attempt by a sports star to host… Read more.
Britt’s opening act about sex trafficking Republican Sen. Katie Britt gained infamy on Thursday with her State of the Union rebuttal. Her faux outrage—over a child trafficking story that was riddled with lies—was bad enough. But her melodramatic, overblown delivery was more akin to a teaser for an upcoming SNL skit. True to form, SNL obliged with its usual… Read more.
A Stepford setting fit for the GOP Senator Katie Britt staged her rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union (SOTU) address from her kitchen. No doubt, she thought this was divinely inspired—a perfect setting to serve up GOP platitudes about kitchen-table issues. And oh, what a kitchen it was! Except that the perfect blend of beige… Read more.
Minority business programs must benefit Whites Yesterday, a federal judge ordered the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) to serve (majority) White businesses too. Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell had such orders in mind when he conspired with former President Donald Trump to pack the federal judiciary. They recruited young White men. The primary qualification? Their blind faith in MAGA propaganda and conspiracies. Indeed,… Read more.
Trump is unapologetically racist The more Donald Trump humiliates White men like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, the more loyalty they show him. This political phenomenon is as vexing as it is perplexing. Yet, polls show that the more Trump hurls racist insults, the more appealing Blacks find him. Forget vexing and perplexing. That reeks of Orwellian doublespeak. After all, Trump is arguably… Read more.
Trump seems fated to win I get it. Donald Trump, the twice-impeached and four-times indicted insurrectionist, is also a well-documented serial liar and sexual predator. In stark contrast, despite Trump’s attempts to smear him with dishonesty and grift, Joe Biden is hailed for his honesty and integrity. Furthermore, he’s arguably the most successful first-term president in US history. Yet, in a foreboding… Read more.
