Republicans Abandoned God to Worship Trump. So It’s No Surprise They’re Betraying ‘Pro-Life’ to Support Herschel Walker.

It is self-evident that Donald Trump has transformed the Republican Party into little more than a cult – with members who worship him and officeholders who pledge unconditional loyalty to him. Hypocrisy in pursuit of power is a virtue, not a vice I have written many commentaries analogizing the lost Israelites forsaking their religious tenets… Read more.

Kanye West, the ‘Jackass’-cum-Cuckold-cum-Antisemite, Becomes Social-Media Outcast

Kanye West (aka Ye) spent much of last summer bullying Pete Davidson, his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend, on social media. This, because he could no more accept losing Kim to Pete than Donald Trump could accept losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden. But Kanye had the last laugh, which I decried in “Kanye,… Read more.

Columbus Day–cum–Indigenous People’s Day

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Podcast Episode 91 People around the world have celebrated Christopher Columbus for centuries as the seafaring explorer who discovered America. In doing so, they blithely ignored the Vikings who preceded him, to say nothing of the Native Indians who greeted him. This episode is my modest contribution to the cognitive dissonance afoot that should correct… Listen.

You Know Putin’s Days Are Numbered When His Inner Circle Are Calling BS on His Gaslighting Propaganda…

A member of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle has voiced disagreement directly to the Russian president in recent weeks over his handling of the war in Ukraine, according to information obtained by U.S. intelligence. The criticism marks the clearest indication yet of turmoil within Russia’s leadership over the stewardship of a war that has gone disastrously… Read more.

WTF! Biden Warned OPEC Not to Cut Oil Production by 1 Million Barrels. So OPEC Cut It by 2 million…?

Written by Anthony L. Hall

The only thing that explains this unprecedented snub is OPEC countries, no doubt at Russia’s urging, being hell-bent on showing that they no longer need the United States … for anything. This, because they now have the backing of China as a more indulging economic superpower, and of Russia as a nuclear power that is… Read more.

Deflategate Was a Harbinger of Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen Divorcing

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Of course, Deflategate was all about Tom Brady getting others to continually sacrifice for his benefit, and then casting them aside the moment he’s called upon to make any sacrifice for theirs. I submit that there’s a direct line between the Brady who threw two lowly Patriots employees under the bus in 2015, when the… Read more.

Unlike Margaret Thatcher, Liz Truss’s U-turn on Tax Cuts Proves This Lady Is for Turning

Tuesday, October 4, 2022 at 6:22 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Liz Truss became UK prime minister on September 6. Except that, she did so by channeling Margaret Thatcher so effectively, she became a meme. Here is how I chimed in on the viral ridicule in the comments section to a July 17 report on her campaign in The Guardian: Liz Truss is fashioning her campaign… Read more.

Useful Idiots! Neymar Supporting Bolsonaro like Kanye Supporting Trump.

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Unfortunately, President Jair Bolsonaro seems hell-bent on living up to his reputation as the “Trump of the Tropics.” Polls have consistently shown former president Luiz Inácio ‘Lula’ da Silva handily defeating him today – by double digits. Yet Bolsonaro has  spent the last few weeks whipping his supporters into a frenzy with Trumpian lies about… Read more.

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Podcast Episode 90 Remember how the Taliban ran US forces out of their country last year? Well, imagine the ridicule if Biden had held a treaty-signing ceremony at the White House in Washington to annex regions of Afghanistan as the world was watching that humiliation unfold. Because that’s the ridiculous nature of what Putin did… Listen.
