Siberia here we come I have to confess to being a lifelong “denier.” At a very tender age, I recognized that pretty much every authority figure I interacted with was deeply flawed. When you’re a critical thinker, your curiosity being countered with “ours is not to question why, ours is […]
Recently, I watched a documentary on Larry Nassar. He was the team doctor for the U.S. Women’s national gymnastics team from 1996-2014. In January, 2018, Nassar was convicted of possessing child pornography and ten counts of sexual assault. He was sentenced to an astounding 100-235 years in prison. Nassar had […]
When we last checked in on our dashing hero Donald Trump, he was enthusiastically salivating over the chance to sign the “Take it Down” internet censorship bill. A few days ago, he did indeed sign this very Orwellian legislation. Most of us don’t deal in “revenge porn,” whatever that is, […]
90 years later and still going strong The National Socialist German Workers Party had a rather short life span, existing from 1920-1945. With that “Socialist” word in there, you’d think that it designated some kind of far Left, Bolshevik inspired movement. But from the very beginning, the Nazis- as they […]
Cultural banality in America 2.0 Long ago, in an America far removed from its present facsimile, there used to be rock and roll. It was a great thing. It started my little seven year old feet tapping, when I first heard Ricky Nelson, Leslie Gore, Del Shannon, Motown, Gene Pitney, […]
No statesmen in our woodpile As I’ve mentioned before, I have no idea why I still pay the slightest attention to politics. I derive absolutely no enjoyment from it. Changes that are absolutely essential never come. The changes that do occur just make things worse. And we continue to be […]
The monsters on main street I write a lot about conspiracies. And you can’t have conspiracies without conspirators. But I’m also interested in the pathological personalities that exist in every community, outside the influence of any shadowy and nefarious organization. Especially the ones who appear “normal” in every way. Until. […]
This David isn’t beating Goliath I can’t help following the Austin Metcalf-Karmelo Anthony racial saga. This is the big story of the moment, framed dishonestly as always, highlighting the two sides we have to choose from. What the great Huey Long called Tweedledum and Tweedledee. High Papa Lowem and Low […]
Recently, a young Black male killed another young White male. This is hardly news, seeing as how every day, young Black males kill. It’s a ‘hood workout. The apparent motive in this case, was that the young Black male felt “disrespected.” In ghetto culture, you don’t accept “disrespect.” You have […]
Dead and still winning The Right- both “awake” and in conservative slumber- are still rejoicing over Donald Trump’s glorious election to a second term as president. He won every swing state, we are told repeatedly. Or is it battleground state? I get confused. I guess either one works. Think Hamas and Hezbollah. […]
