Friends In MAGA Places


Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is catching a lot of heat for being chummy and laughing it up with whom many consider the perpetrator of massive atrocities on a worldwide level that will take decades to recover from. No, not the Jonas Brothers. I'm talking about President George W. Bush. After a photo emerged of... Continue Reading →

Chinese Dribbling


CCTV Sports, a division of China's state broadcaster, said in a statement, "We believe any remarks that challenge national sovereignty and social stability do not belong to the category of free speech." Let that be a reminder that any nation that has prohibitions on speech doesn't know the definition of free speech (it's kinda like... Continue Reading →

Kurds Get Trumped


Donald Trump is not just a risk to our national security. He's a risk for the world's security. Trump has a good argument about America being in "forever wars," like Afghanistan.

Impeachment Civil War


Donald Trump is losing his mind. He's screaming at reporters, embarrassing us in front of visiting foreign leaders, lying, spreading conspiracy theories, encouraging his supporters to engage in violence, and promising not to accomplish anything with Congress (like you were totally expecting action on gun violence).
