Juneteenth National Independence Day
It was on this day in 1865 that Union soldiers landed in Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that all slaves were free. That was two months AFTER the end of the Civil War and TWO YEARS after the Emancipation Proclamation. To say that change comes slowly for African Americans is... Read more »
Arizona John: Please stay glued to Fox "News" tonight
As most Americans know, all of our major news networks will be carrying the Jan 6 Committee hearings live tonight beginning at 8:00 PM Eastern time. Some might argue that it’s not all our major news networks because Fox will be adhering to their regular programming schedule, which includes Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and TucKKKer... Read more »
How dare YOU, Mike Pence?
People on one side of the aisle (Right) are in a state of perpetual outrage. More often than not, they’re accusing people on the other side of the very things of which they are the most guilty. Former vice president and man who narrowly dodged the hangman’s noose, Mike Pence, recently took the current Vice... Read more »

Arizona John thinks I have become unlikeable
The following was first published last year, but, with the Jan 6 hearings coming up on prime time, a revisit seems in order: From John: You still blame everything bad on trump just like he blamed everything bad on Obama It’s idiotic to think we need another investigation of the capital (sic) . …. Just... Read more »
The Robb Elementary School massacre in Uvalde, Texas is a double win for Republicans
If you found the title of this piece cringeworthy, you’re not alone. It is indeed, cringeworthy, as well as disturbing and true. For Republicans, it’s all about political gain PERIOD Many Republicans, including Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy spoke up after the January 6, 2021 insurrection, opining that Donnie Trump was responsible and should be...

Maybe America needs a few public executions instead of meaningless thoughts and prayers
We’ve heard it too many times. I can’t even stand the mere thought of the words thoughts and prayers. They’re worthless and meaningless and do not help dead children. After the worst mass shooting in Texas history yesterday, Senator Ted Cancun Cruz immediately leaped in front of cameras to protect the most precious people in... Read more »

Did Putin promise Donnie a piece of Ukraine?
The title question may seem far-fetched, but read on. Maybe not so much. In a world consumed with crazy, implausible conspiracy theories, a Russian president giving away a piece of a sovereign nation sounds like one more turd to heap onto the pile of nonsensical bullshit. But is it really? A good detective will tell... Read more »
So, Oath Keepers, what up?
Did you ever wonder exactly what oath the keepers are keeping? Me, too. Luckily, I had the chance to ask one in person. This particular keeper was a gangly kid of 28 sitting at a bar in a small, mountain town in western Colorado. What caught my eye was the Oath Keepers emblem on the... Read more »
Who gains the most from Putin's criminal invasion of Ukraine?
Even as the International Criminal Court convenes to investigate Vladimir Putin’s war crimes, it’s clear that his invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked and illegal. If you’re in the Fox bubble, you may believe that Donnie Chump was the only thing standing between Vladimir Putin and world domination, but that is a gross misunderstanding (LIE). For... Read more »

Hillary Clinton can rob a bank every night and steal the collection plate on Sunday
The following was originally posted in August, 2016. Presidents Day seems like a good time for a quick edit and a look back: How you process the title of this piece depends upon your predisposition toward Hillary Clinton. What you may not realize is that much of your resentment for the Clintons has been carefully... Read more »
