Meet The Millers
I spent Sunday night in Washington, D.C. in a crappy hotel room. It wasn't a Motel 6 or any chain type hotel. It was just a really old hotel that appears to have been neglected. It was so outdated, that I had an actual key, not a card, to my room. I was complaining about... Continue Reading →
Fun With Faux Outrage
The party that gave us baby jails is outraged that a liberal college professor would inject Trump's youngest child, Barron, into politics and make jokes at his expense. Except the college professor didn't do that. Constitutional law expert Pamela Karlan was testifying before the House Judiciary Committee to give her opinions on impeachment. While answering...

ICE raided several processing plants in Mississippi detaining hundreds of suspected undocumented immigrants. Though ICE claims they contacted at... Continue Reading →
The Captors’ Resumes
Trump's pick to be the new director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe, has multiple embellishments on his resumé. He claims on his website and in campaign material that he tried suspects accused of funneling money to Hamas. As it turns out, that's not true. He never prosecuted a case in the matter. He was an...

Trump’s Meat
Donald Trump is using the citizenship question on the census and ICE raids to feed his shrinking political base. It's another example of his not being president for all the people and using government resources for political means. Trump caved on adding the citizenship question to the census after being knocked down by the Supreme... Continue Reading →
Childish Drawings

A charitable humanitarian respite center in Texas asked three children, ages 10 and 11, to depict their time in the custody of Trump's US Customs and Border Protection agency. They didn't draw sunshine, unicorns,... Continue Reading →
