Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Civil War II America is marching into Civil War II – eyes wide shut. Indeed, few seem to care. I have written many commentaries in this regard. And the titles alone seemed alarming enough – as these three attest: “Civil War II Looms Larger as Texas Suppresses Voting Rights and Bans Abortions” on September 2, 2021. “Jan 6,… Read more.
Trump wins Iowa Caucuses in landslide The Iowa Caucuses are meaningless. I’ve argued this point for decades. After all, the winner of this lily-White farce hasn’t won the presidency in nearly 25 years. Case in point, Ted Cruz won in 2016. But Donald Trump won the Republican nomination and the presidency. As widely expected, former… Read more.
It seems we’re observing this MLK Day in a time warp. Because America today looks so much like the Jim Crow America MLK spent his life fighting to change. Observing MLK Day in Jim Crow 2.0 America America is on a schizophrenic march towards the Promised Land of MLK’s famous dream. On the one hand, America elected the first Black man as… Read more.
The accusation of genocide is credible Israel appears guilty as accused. The US is Israel’s most committed defender in the international community. Yet, even President Biden has warned Israel that it is losing international support because of its indiscriminate bombing of Gaza. But nothing betrays Israel’s genocidal intent quite like Israeli government ministers threatening to drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza. Furthermore, discussions about resettling displaced… Read more.
For 150 years, the Grand Old Party (GOP, aka Republican Party) was the proud standard bearer of Lincoln’s legacy. Yet, in just four years, Donald Trump transformed the Republican party into a cult led by a mafia don. This transformation must have Lincoln rolling over in his grave. The party now thrives solely on loyalty to Trump –… Read more.
DEI, the new CRT Not long ago, Whites scurried across the country like Chicken Littles. They warned that Critical Race Theory (CRT) was a greater anathema to high-school education than slavery to democratic values.” I duly decried their racist hypocrisy in commentaries like “Maddening Critical Race Theory Turning Suburban Moms into Jan 6-Style Insurrectionists” on February 12, 2022,… Read more.
The 14th Amendment disqualifies Trump Yesterday, in a jaw-dropping ruling, the Colorado Supreme Court shocked the world. It found that Donald Trump incited the Jan 6 insurrection. Based on that finding, it ruled that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies him from being president of the United States. Here is how The New York Times reported on its historic,… Read more.
Speaker Mike Johnson is flip-flopping on everything from single-party impeachment to FISA surveillance. And the liberal media are having a field day lampooning the self-righteous way he expresses his hypocrisy. It’s enough to make the Almighty God think Johnson is a delusional psychopath. Congressional Republicans are as animated by mutiny nowadays as they are by hypocrisy. Given this, he probably… Read more.
The tainted legacy of Sandra Day O’Connor Sandra Day O’Connor was the first woman on the US Supreme Court. Her legacy is assured, especially given the pivotal role she played in Planned Parenthood of Southeast Pennsylvania v. Casey, upholding abortion rights. But her pioneering legacy is forever tainted by her vote in Bush v. Gore. To understand why, consider how… Read more.
Trump’s perverse appeal to Blacks and Latinos Black and Latino men are signaling their intent to vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Polling to this effect suggests a narrative. It’s as bizarre as it is troubling. But they aren’t interested in Trump’s policies. They probably know nothing about them. Instead, Black and… Read more.
