Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Kamala will win Last Wednesday, I published “Kamala Harris Knows How to Debate. So Stop the Chauvinistic Advice.” I always heed my own advice and am convinced that, by any objective criteria, Kamala will defeat Trump easily. Indeed, Trump is running scared. He knows he can’t articulate coherent policies to save his life. That’s why… Read more.
Melania channeling Marie Antionette Last week, Melania Trump spoke from her gold-encrusted ivory tower. With Trumpian gall and hypocrisy, she complained about the rising cost of food and gas. Her life, after all, is the literal embodiment of “Let them eat cake.” Now, she’s pretending to commiserate with the common folk. The icing on the… Read more.
Colleges have finally accepted the categorical imperative of paying student-athletes; they’re just litigating how much. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. Case in point, just as smaller schools once scrounged for equipment while big schools banked TV revenue, lesser-known athletes now hustle for lunch money while stars rake in NIL… Read more.
It’s Groundhog Day in gun-crazy USA. Another school shooting. Another teenage boy with a military-style rifle. And another round of “thoughts and prayers” from politicians who could actually do something about this madness but won’t. This time, it’s a 14-year-old in Georgia, whose resume now includes the murder of four innocent people at Apalachee High… Read more.
The Biden administration’s latest sanctions and criminal charges against Russia for election interference are déjà vu all over again. Since 2016, the US has been slapping Russia with sanctions like a drunk at a piñata party — wildly swinging, hoping to hit something. Yet, the Russians are still at it, manipulating US public opinion to… Read more.
Father Carville knows best? Democratic pundits are offering Kamala all kinds of advice for her first presidential debate against Trump next week. Yesterday, The New York Times even featured a James Carville op-ed touting “the best strategy to defeat Trump.” The consensus has them goading her to use her prosecutorial skills to get under his… Read more.
Yesterday, Netanyahu made an extraordinary apology for failing to rescue Israeli hostages. But his apology was as cynical as Trump’s apology for his lewd remarks on the infamous Access Hollywood tape. IDF soldiers found six dead Israeli hostages in a tunnel in Gaza on Sunday. This discovery provoked protests among tens of thousands of Israelis.… Read more.
It was political malpractice for Kamala to avoid the press like the plague. This made her first TV interview almost as important as her first presidential debate. She had to know that if she so much as botched a word, Republicans would spin it as her performing even worse than Biden did in his fateful… Read more.
Evidently, Trump uses sadomasochistic humiliation to bond with Republican men. Only that explains Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s groveling endorsement this week. After all, Trump didn’t just humiliate Kemp; he insulted Kemp’s wife, Marty, too. He claimed that even she doubted her husband could win reelection without Trump’s divine intervention. Yet Kemp isn’t just endorsing Trump;… Read more.
