Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Loomer looming large in MAGA world Laura Loomer is gaining infamy as the White nationalist conspiracy nut who suddenly has Trump’s ear. MAGA darling Marjorie Taylor Greene became infamous for blaming a secret Jewish space laser for California wildfires. Yet even she is complaining that Loomer is filling Trump’s head with wacko claims, like Haitian… Read more.
So Taylor Swift is risking fame and fortune to champion democratic values and stand on the right side of history. But Patrick Mahomes doesn’t have the balls or public consciousness to do the same. Any self-respecting Black man in his position would take pride in doing all he can to stop Trump and his MAGA confederates… Read more.
Folks, even pundits on Fox News are bemoaning that Kamala did to Trump in this debate exactly what Trump did to Biden in theirs. That’s all you need to know about who won this debate. Still, I’d be remiss not to make just a few observations. Kamala’s boss moves When they were introduced, she manhandled… Read more.
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.

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.
