A Tale of Two Michaels: Smerconish is Wrong, Moore is Almost Correct

A Tale of Two Michaels: Smerconish is Wrong, Moore is Almost Correct
Michael Smerconish has been a part of my Saturday mornings for years. I only have time to watch the first half of his show, but I sometimes catch the second half when they replay it at 5:00 PM (Central). Smerconish leans Right, but he tries to present issues in a fair and balanced way, and... Read more »

Here's Why I Burned My NRA Card

Here's Why I Burned My NRA Card
The following was originally posted on November 4, 2016.  It has been edited and re-posted: I burned my NRA card because I’m fed up with their obstructionist policies, fear mongering, lying surrogates and phony 2nd Amendment arguments. NOTE:  You can save yourself the hassle of reading this by clicking HERE to see the video. The... Read more »

Guns, Violence and Advertising in the Age of Trumpism, Hate and Fear

Guns, Violence and Advertising in the Age of Trumpism, Hate and Fear
The above advertisement caught my eye as I thumbed through a magazine while cooling my heels at the Denver airport. It’s a lot to take in. There’s a casual, but urgent proffer of weapons of annihilation.  I’m not anti-gun but let’s face it, the AR-15 is exquisitely designed to inflict catastrophic damage to flesh and... Read more »

With New Indictments, It Looks Like Dishonest Don Sold Out His Country Long Before He Announced His Candidacy

With New Indictments, It Looks Like Dishonest Don Sold Out His Country Long Before He Announced His Candidacy
Dishonest Don wants you to believe that the thirteen indictments announced by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Friday exonerate him. The beauty of Twitter is that you can tweet out your delusions to your heart’s content. Trump-appointed National Security Chief H.R. McMaster had another take on the indictments. According to McMaster, the evidence that... Read more »

It's been 18 Years Since Columbine, 6 Years Since Sandy Hook and Four months Since Las Vegas: Still Too Soon to Talk about Guns, Paul Ryan?

It's been 18 Years Since Columbine, 6 Years Since Sandy Hook and Four months Since Las Vegas: Still Too Soon to Talk about Guns, Paul Ryan?
One hundred people died in the three shootings listed above, but Paul Ryan says we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. A teenager with an AR-15 killed seventeen people at a high school in Parkland, Florida.  What conclusions are we jumping to, Mr. Speaker? What if your daughter, Elizabeth and her friends were among the victims? The... Read more »

Chain, chain, chain. Chain of fools

Chain, chain, chain. Chain of fools
We are all chained, in one way or another.  We are slaves to the inner workings of our minds and to the circumstances we’ve created in our lives.  For better or worse (mostly worse), we act the way we are wired to act. Only one form of migration however, can be described as “chain.” African... Read more »

Would Donald Trump Have Ignored the Attack on Pearl Harbor if the Bank of Japan held his Mortgage?

Would Donald Trump Have Ignored the Attack on Pearl Harbor if the Bank of Japan held his Mortgage?
Donald Trump aka “Dishonest Don” or “Double D” wants a parade and one or more of his celebrity apprentices will be tasked with making that happen. With the exception of France’s Bastille Day parade, which is a tradition deeply rooted in French culture and goes back more than a century, marching displays of military might... Read more »

A Libtard's Defense of Rob Porter

A Libtard's Defense of Rob Porter
If you’ve visited this space before, you know that it’s no place to look for a defense of Donald Trump, John Kelly or anyone in the current administration. It may be time though, for all of us to examine the extent to which we’ve become a bunch of knee jerks. Being called a “libtard” is... Read more »
