I think Republicans should treat religion in the Trump era the same way they treat government spending when a Republican is president. Ignore it. Republicans love to accuse Democrats of being socialist spenders and giving away free money. They blame our deficit on Democrats and cry that our children will be the ones paying it...

Ida Know
Hurricane Ida hit Port Fourchon, Louisiana on Sunday with 150-mph winds. She's now a tropical storm passing through Mississippi and headed toward the mid-Atlantic states. Over one million homes and businesses are without power in Louisiana alone. Flash floods and tornadoes may be created on her tour through the south. So far, she's responsible for...

Photo Ops, Bad Optics, And Play-Doh
President Obama's critics have jumped on his lack of an appearance to the flood zone in Louisiana. They compare his lack of visiting to President George W. Bush's inaction to Hurricane Katrina.

Hanging With Mr. Racist
The problem isn't that the majority of the Republican party is racist. They're not. The problem is that they appeal to racists. They cater to them. They seek their support. They make excuses for them. They create policies for them. They receive votes from them. They attend their parties. Republican congressman Steve Scalise of Louisiana... Continue Reading →
