Former attorney and “fixer” for Donald Trump is in FBI custody, at this hour, expected to plead guilty to multiple counts of bank fraud, tax fraud, wire fraud, and… campaign finance violations. For those puzzling over the implications, that last part draws a direct link to the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump. Is it the smoking gun? Is this what Mueller and Trump’s critics have been looking for? Well, not necessarily. How ironic would it be if what will... Read more
When I was in high school, I took a course in Science Fiction literature. Yes. There was such a class and I was such a geek. I still remember the portly, 40-ish aged teacher, Mrs. McCrimmon, and some of her wise, but nuanced lessons, as we debated Asimov, Bradbury, and Wells (That would be H.G. Wells, and my personal favorite). One of the things Mrs. McCrimmon said to us – a class full of pimple-faced smart-alecks, absolutely drunk on our... Read more
This is my obligatory disclaimer, informing readers that I am a Liberty University alum, before I launch into another piece addressing the absolute dereliction of duty by LU President Jerry Falwell Jr. Falwell Jr. is a devoted foot soldier for the Trump tribe, and not only has trashed the notion of Liberty University as a Christian college, through his rabid defense of every vile thing said or done by Trump, but also has gone out of his way to put...

It’s Monday morning, so while First Lady Melania Trump is off addressing a conference about her “Be Best” initiative and anti-cyberbullying, her husband, President Trump is flailing about like a crazed man, attacking people on the internet. Somebody please transcribe Melania’s speech today, so we can decipher her coded language. I don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest that the president may seem particularly unhinged today, following the weekend news that White House counsel Don McGahn has spent over 30... Read more
Oh, my! Well, I have to hand it to Don McGahn, White House counsel. He assessed the land mine being planted in the White House back in January 2017, along with all the associated stinking baggage that came with it, and acted accordingly. A new report from the New York Times reveals that McGahn has spent over thirty hours, in three separate interviews, voluntarily working with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, in regards to the ongoing Russia probe. McGahn began... Read more
I get that this is a touchy subject for some women, especially nursing mothers. That being said, are we so far gone in this world that it should be a problem in the church? Apparently it is an issue that needs to be addressed, before we get too far down this particular rabbit hole. A case in point would be a Brighton, Michigan church – the Naz Church – wrestling with the prickly issue of mothers openly breastfeeding their babies... Read more
Ok. This one is hitting close to home, for me. For those who haven’t seen me discuss this at any other point along the way, it always seem to leave a few shocked to learn that I am a devoted “headbanger.” Back in the day, I was the front-of-the-stage, security barrier leaner, or the backstage dweller for bands like Metallica, Anthrax, Corrosion of Conformity, and a lot of others you may not have heard of. I wrote for various heavy... Read more
His journey from outspoken Trump critic during the primaries to obedient Trump toady in the Senate seems to be near completion. And while I defended the man when a psychotic neighbor violently attacked him, causing serious physical injury, I have to say, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul will not have my support in this. Paul’s latest, inexplicable show of fealty to his former primary adversary follows a trip to Moscow, where the senator met with several Russian officials, and returned parroting... Read more
If Trump is caught up in the web of the ongoing Russia probe, do you know who will be to blame? Donald Trump. That’s right. It has become increasingly clear that the president is incapable of getting out of his own way. The very fact of there being a special counsel probe for him to grouse over is because of his comments regarding the firing of FBI Director James Comey in 2017. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller... Read more
Mixed marriages can work. I’m a romantic. I like to believe that the power of love can overcome any boundaries or differences. That’s what I like to believe, but in this age of wretched Trumpism, how do you make it work? When your values are so desperately opposed, I don’t know if there is a marriage counselor in the entire country that can help a couple find that middle ground, when one spouse is a Trumpling, and the other is...
