Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Musk visits Auschwitz Elon Musk revels in playing the enfant terrible of the business world. I have often argued that he wants to be to business what Donald Trump is to politics. So, the last thing you’d expect him to do is make a solemn and contrite pilgrimage to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Yet, that’s what he did today, with… Read more.
The World Economic Forum at Davos The annual gathering of business and political elites at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, concluded yesterday. However, this event often reeks of hypocrisy, so much so that forum discussions do little more than emit the CO2 attendees continually pledge to reduce. Especially notable are their backslapping pledges to combat climate change and… Read more.
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.
Princess Kate hospitalized The Princess of Wales shocked the world earlier today with this breaking news: The Princess of Wales is to stay in hospital for up to two weeks after undergoing abdominal surgery. Kensington Palace said the procedure was planned and successful but the princess is not expected to resume royal duties for months. (BBC News,… 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.
Musk’s racism mirrors Trump’s Elon Musk is a racist. At this point, that shouldn’t surprise anyone. I, for one, have written many commentaries denouncing his public tweets. Those tweets often show his true colors. Simply put, Musk is becoming to business what Donald Trump is to politics: a temperamental, incompetent, petty, spiteful, cowardly, racist, narcissistic, homophobic, antisemitic, bullying buffoon. In other words, they’re two… Read more.
Belichick retires It was the worst-kept secret in sports. But legendary coach Bill Belichick made it official on Thursday. He announced that he is retiring from the New England Patriots after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles. The NFL did not miss a beat last year when Tom Brady retired, proving that no player is bigger than the sport. But… 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.
Rodgers in a downward spiral Stephen A. Smith is arguably the most influential sports analyst in America. Therefore, it speaks volumes that he has branded “that baaaad man, Aaron Rodgers,” as one of the best to play the game of football. Except that, in what can only be described as a tragicomic descent, Rodgers seems determined to rebrand himself… Read more.
