Hypocrisy, Lies, FoxNews, Trump….

OK.  The heading is getting too long.  I'm waiting for the swamp to drain.  Frankly, disgusted.  A day after Trump's fixer pleaded guilty and his campaign manager was convicted I'm looking for some truth.  #CNN is reveling in a, well, look, we were right.  So I looked at #foxnews.  I wondered what they had to … Continue reading Hypocrisy, Lies, FoxNews, Trump….

Shifting Alliances

I'm old enough to remember Hoover and his FBI.  The FBI that murdered Fred Hampton and harassed MLK for being, in their minds, well "uppity".  I know of the Church hearings, what they exposed about the CIA.  And I know what happened with what was stolen in the Media, PA break-ins.  And yet I find … Continue reading Shifting Alliances

An Angry White Man

Yeah.  Mad as hell.  Riddle me this Batman.  Why, why, why, is the conversation about our children protecting themselves when there is an "active shooter".  17 dead in Broward County.  And the conversation is about teaching our children to "shelter in place".  WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?  Why, why, do we accept the … Continue reading An Angry White Man

Thoughts from France…

More specifically from Paris, but as most of you know, Paris is in France.  And for the dumbass or two Trump supporter who may read this, no France is not in Africa. I'm here in France again.  My close friends know this isn't unusual.  That said, many Americans think the French hate us.  First, let … Continue reading Thoughts from France…

A Lawful Order

They are just three words.  Yet they matter so much: "A lawful order". We have a professional military.  Their duty, their sworn allegiance is to the United States of America, to the Constitution of the United States.   Look at the official site of those who choose to defend our country.  Their sworn oath is not … Continue reading A Lawful Order

Eleven Months

Am I the only one wondering if the president is the most irrelevant person in America?  Yes, an engaged president surely matters in a time of crisis.  Only fools can argue that BO and his team didn't save the world from economic collapse.  Never mind that whole FDR thing.  But let's deal with reality.  #fucktrump … Continue reading Eleven Months

Direct Action

I'm probably out of my job anyway, so why not? My friend Jennifer Leto Revill is singing Christmas Eve with her church choir. Afterwards she and I are planning to eat the dinner she's cooking, a seven fish, Italian celebration thing. I have to admit to having no religion, to being agnostic. I have no … Continue reading Direct Action

A Trump Diversion

"A nation that is not proud of its history cannot be confident of its future". - Donald J. Trump Is the president saying that I, that we, that America should be proud of slavery?  Of subjugating blacks?  Of Jim Crow?  Is he suggesting that we should be proud of the genocide that we committed against … Continue reading A Trump Diversion

In With Flynn

I'm challenging #asswipe, #potus, #liarinchief, @realDonaldTrump to pardon Flynn.  See, the truth matters.  If Michael Flynn is pardoned then he has to tell the truth.  A fifth amendment protection against self incrimination no longer applies.  He's exonerated.  So, @potus, #scumbadinchief, I challenge to you to pardon Flynn, free him to tell the truth.  They say … Continue reading In With Flynn

In With Flynn

I have no idea what the origination of those words might be.  It's likely that they were part of some Irish Catholic Democratic machine campaign.  What I do know is that they didn't mean "In jail with Flynn".  But here is what I do know.... Mannefort and Gates weren't the target.  They were a step, … Continue reading In With Flynn
