“Either you want to advance the cover-up or you want the truth to come out.” – Congressman Jamie Raskin. Multiple choice. Was he referring to: A) A cover-up to mask extensive engagement with Russia in advance of the 2016 election and, as president, extensive efforts to gum up Robert Mueller’s probe into collusion? B) A…
DetailsMaybe it was all that sledgehammering of White House walls. Hard labor at 79. Maybe it was partying like the devil Halloween night while government stood still. (Did they check the ages of those girls taking turns in the giant martini glass?) Whatever, no one could blame Orange Kool-Aid Man for being tuckered out Election…
DetailsThe Law Enforcement Oath of Honor: “On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold the Constitution, my community, and the agency I serve.” And now, the ICE…
DetailsIf you take this as a media critique, you’re missing the story. This is a citizenship critique. Not the citizenship that comes with a Social Security card. Let’s discuss the kind of citizenship that demands devotion beyond a flash of attention – say, every four years — with a rudimentary trip to the polls. Call…
DetailsThere are so many reasons to grade down the vengeance jockey in the White House. So many reasons why the latest AP poll finds 61 percent of Americans firmly in the “disgusted” lane. The biggest reason, however, may be what I encountered at the grocery store the other day: the $2.40 tomato. I don’t usually…
DetailsEveryone should be as angry as my son over the insult. And I mean everyone – Democrat, independent, libertarian, MAGA true believer. Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, Tiffany, Barron. Yes, even J.D. “In a Trance” Vance. The insult from a petty man with no shame and no sense of duty. It ruined a sparkling notion…
DetailsI shouldn’t read the news before bed. Because of such an error one night, I was pondering the idiotic political theater of sending troops to “war”-torn Portland when I fell into uneased sleep. I found myself at Denver’s Coors Field. The game had barely begun when glares exchanged between the Colorado Rockies and visiting SF…
DetailsSo much to talk about. — About the Epstein files. Republicans said they were ready to release them once. — About government censorship. Six million TV viewers and 18 million Youtubers are talking about it after tuning into Jimmy Kimmel’s return. — About our president’s unhinged and disgraceful speech to the United Nations – if…
DetailsI know your first question: “Will the speech police be masked?” Why, of course. This’ll scare the bejeebers out of the libs: yet another federal police force on the streets – each member in riot gear and wearing the military-issue likeness of JD Vance. When they press you as to what you’ve been thinking —…
DetailsNow we know about the shooter. He was a white supremacist, captivated and motivated by the right-wing “manosphere,” and of course a nation’s gun fanaticism. But he’s dead now, sucked into a vortex of hate. Sorry if that first paragraph description misled you. As I write this, I am thinking of a shooter who didn’t…
