I spent yesterday working on the site after we experienced a Denial of Service attack on Wednesday and Thursday. I’ve pretty well isolated where I think it came from and have taken proactive steps “under the hood” to keep it from happening again. Nevertheless, I am flattered that my modest

The overall strategic situation has not changed. And tactical setbacks should not change the overall long-term aim.
The amount of intellectual dishonesty by suregeaholics and others is disturbing, to say the least. And the tragic events that occurred on Thursday morning are sad and will be so for a long time. However, probably the most frustrating thing of the last couple of days is to see how

This is a warning. If there is one thing that can be learned from Senator Joe Manchin’s cowardly failure this week, there are too many Americans who have no understanding of this country at all. But, unfortunately, all of Joe Manchin’s talk about the need for a bipartisan bill for

I’m a big fan of Jim Wright. Besides the fact that he and I are in alignment on most things – I like the fact that he is blunt and unafraid to take on controversial subjects. That is certainly true in his most recent face book post. Be sure to

Being the trendy, social media maven that I am (sarcasm definitely intended), I’ve gotten up and running on Tik Tok. Besides being a wonderful way to give Donald Trump the finger in 2020 – it has been really fun to see how creative a lot of people around the world

People, myself included, love to use historical analogies to describe the current hellscape we are living through. The most popular comparison of the rise of Trumplandia is to that of Nazi Germany in the ’30s. I confess to having fallen into the habit myself, and you can find plenty of

The new wingnut narrative is coalescing. Since the “let them drink Lysol” narrative did not work, they are going to a new multi-pronged attack: 1) The governors are stifling pent up demand. The economy is ready to come back if it were not for this pesky emphasis on saving lives

I suffered the loss of a good friend last night. The United Kingdom ( May 1, 1707-June 23rd, 2016), America’s mother country, the source of US traditions and many of our values , a country that holds a special place in my heart, committed suicide last night. It was 409 years

David Brooks, also known here by the not so affectionate moniker of “Chunky Bobo”, has written a column so absurd that you just have to shake your head in stupefaction that this man still has a job-much less a respected position in American journalism. Like McMegan-it appears that Chunky Bobo
