IS THIS THE AMERICA THE GOP WANTS? YES. IT IS.

Of all the heinous, corrupt, morally-bankrupt, void of humanity actions taken by the Trump administration, they still manage to figure out how to do even worse things. The Trump administration will be sponsoring a televised, love-streamed public execution. The ultimate reality show. Words fail. P

ONE MAN. MANY ENABLERS. SCARCE COURAGE

America is exhausted. The world is fed up. On fire. And the GOP has enabled the destruction and humiliation of their politics and party. This commentary sums it up… “On October 7, 2016, in the run-up to the 2016 election, the Washington Post broke the story of the so-called Access Hollywoodtape, a

SLEEPWALKING INTO INFAMY

It sure does seem like the election of Donald Trump to the Office of the Presidency has ushered in a concerted effort to kill our democracy in its cradle doesn’t it? There have always been elements in our political body who feel that one race or one group or one religion was destined to rule the w

CORRUPTION + INCOMPETENCE = AMERICA NOT WINNING

We all know, and see, the corruption of the current administration. We read about something new every day. These people are getting richer by the minute. Which makes one wonder why the GOP always bitches about the government, when it’s such a golden goose. In the wrong hands anyway. So corruption

ACTION/REACTION. KARMA IS REAL. AND SO IS OUR ANGER

Groundhog Day in America continues… The Trump administration continues playing footsie with press access, while wink wink nudge nudging our court system.

It’s obvious that our president doesn’t regard Russia as a threat to the safety and security of America.
