Palestinians kicked off a new conflict as tension continues to rise around the periphery of the American empire. Israel will respond. The initial raid was too destructive not to respond in a firm manner. Set aside rhetoric from grandstanding American political figures, this is a brazen attack that not only was effective but punctures the…

Did you watch the GOP debate? It was painful. We were treated to old timers with zero chance of winning going off on issues that matter little to voters, using slogans from the W era. In the spectacle that is our political world, the Republican Party has been a prime contributor to the circus. There’s…

I hate to write another DeSantis post and annoy the readership, but it’s over, right? I’ve written on him not running in ‘24 and just waiting. I tried envisioning a path for him to win. It is a month later and numbers look worse for him. I like him as an effective governor so this…

Governor Ron DeSantis announced his run for the presidency, making official what many suspected since November. This humble writer advised him not to run. The road is full of obstacles.

Lincoln Project pulled a horrible fake Charlottesville stunt, a slimy Clinton acolyte shot his mouth off and school curriculum came to the fore. It was weird and fun to witness. Not much at stake for non-Virginians. Americans can have fun…

The presidential campaign season has elongated as the stakes grow. Candidates build a resume for a long march towards the Oval Office but in the last decade what used to be a twelve to fifteen month official campaign season has stretched to be twenty-four months and now possibly a continuous affair. The current focus is…

The right wing pundit class cashed their checks and pivoted to pummeling Trump for the Midterm letdown. Clear the way for DeSantis! Forget it, GOP Inc pundit, it’s the age of hyper-ballot stuffing. Nothing matters if the GOP does not attempt to rollback vote by mail, challenge it in court with lawsuits or to build…
