Wednesday was a big day. Everyone was still sifting through the remains of the midterm election, assessing the damages or reveling in victory. It was a mixed bag, for me. On the federal level, there was very little I cared about, given that the two major parties in control now are pretty much both irresponsible and corrupt, just in different ways. Neither of them care for anything, beyond whatever it takes to grab control and keep it. On the local... Read more
Well, it’s been said (correctly) that everything Donald Trump touches dies. Next on the chopping block is Attorney General Jeff Sessions. That should read, FORMER Attorney General Jeff Sessions. On Wednesday, one day after the midterm elections, President Trump did what many had feared he would do: He fired Sessions. Trump has long held a grudge against Sessions, who was one of his earliest and most ardent supporters, for recusing himself from the Russia probe and not serving as his... Read more
Are we still reeling from the election day hangover? So here is what we know: Congress is under divided leadership. While Republicans have maintained control of the Senate, Democrats have regained control of the House. For weeks, politicos have been predicting this very thing, so for some, this is no shock. We’ve had time to prepare. Nancy Pelosi will likely regain her former position as Speaker of the House. In the early morning hours of Wednesday, she was given the... Read more
Keep repeating to yourself, over and over: This is not a cult. This is not a cult. Truly, when you witness the large, rabid crowds, the uniform red caps, and the absolute adherence to every near-incoherent syllable to fall from his lips, and insistence that no matter the exaggeration, or even outright, provable lie spoken, if Donald Trump says it, it automatically becomes truth, then it becomes harder to insist that this is just another presidency. I remember in 2008,... Read more
The gross, symbiotic relationship that exists between a serial con artist and adulterer, and the evangelical voting bloc in the United States continues to grow and morph into something that only serves to damage the witness of evangelical Christians to the world. It certainly isn’t moving any conservative policies forward. Planned Parenthood is still fully funded. Nothing had changed, in regards to religious rights, mainly because there was never a problem that needed fixing. The First Amendment has that covered.... Read more
As a woman, and as a Never Trump conservative, I caught a lot of grief for defending Brett Kavanaugh during the Senate Judiciary Committee testimony, in regards to accusations that he was a teen rapist and drunkard, per a spate of female accusers who came forward to speak of his alleged crimes. My position then, as it is now, has always been that we don’t condemn anyone based on accusations, alone. We can have opinions, certainly, but when those opinions... Read more
Oh, Jacob Wohl – You’ve been a naughty monkey, haven’t you? It appears that trying to have a decorated veteran and lawman falsely labeled as a “rapist” wasn’t even the full extent of the disgraced internet troll’s despicable shenanigans. In fact, for those who think the fraudulent company, Surefire Intelligence was simply a ploy to go after special counsel Robert Mueller, understand that it was, in fact, a full-on scam for anyone unfortunate enough to stumble into it. One such... Read more
Raise your hand if you’re one of those on the right who was celebrating that a black celebrity, Kanye West, was suddenly wearing a Make America Great Again cap, and declaring his love for Donald Trump. Now use that hand to smack yourself in the head. To begin, it was quixotic to even entertain the thought that someone of Kanye West’s mercurial background and manner was ever going to be sincere about anything. Outside of the MAGA faithful and President... Read more
Ah, American Pravda, we can always count on you to bring sniveling acquiescence to this administration’s bad behavior to dizzying heights. And by “American Pravda,” if you haven’t been keeping up, I’m talking about that pit of journalistic malpractice and alt-right fever dreams, Fox News. Sure, they do great in the ratings, but that’s much less an indicator of the quality of actual journalism going on, than it is a testimony to the large numbers of American viewers who either...

Guys, if you were really clinging to hope that the recent news of “credible accusers” stepping forward to claim they’d been sexually harassed by special counsel Robert Mueller was going to be a thing, let it go. https://twitter.com/classiclib3ral/status/1057988296264028160 If you’re laughing now, I’m right there with you. If you’re crying into your MAGA cap – I’m laughing harder. I covered this slapstick failure of a plot to discredit the Russia investigation, as well as the media several days ago, but... Read more
