On Saturday, Joe Manchin called for Biden to step down and “pass the torch” to a younger generation of Democrats… On Sunday, immediately after Biden stepped down, 76-year-old Manchin was trying to mount his own bid against Kamala for the Democratic nomination… This is the fastest hypocrisy I’ve ever seen from a politician. The turnaround was less than 24…

Despite what You’ve Heard, President Joe Biden was Amazing! But Would Letting Kamala Run as an Incumbent Be Better?
President Joe Biden did a great, thankless job as inarguably one of the best three Presidents of the last 55 years, and in my opinion the best. It was maddening to watch the corporate media constantly harping about Biden’s “poll numbers being bad” as though they couldn’t have changed that reality merely by actually reporting…
46 Reasons Joe Biden Absolutely Deserves Your Support
“Why should anyone still support Joe Biden after the debate?” is a question I answer at length in this month’s podcast episode, but just in case you needed a refresher on the 46th President’s first-term accomplishments, here it is… 1. Passed a crucial infrastructure bill that no other recent POTUS has been able to pass…
Katie Britt Proves There’s TWO Embarrassing Senators in Alabama Now
And the Razzie goes to… Katie Britt! …I haven’t seen such an untalented alum from the Karen School of Acting since the last viral cellphone video of a white woman wrongly calling the police on black people that made her mad. Not sure if anyone reading this had a strong enough stomach to see Senator…
Good Riddance to Kyrsten Enema, Unabashed Corporate Toadie
The last few weeks have been filled with some of the worst political news since early 2022, as Russia’s last major freedom fighter Alexei Navalny was murdered, the Putin Caucus in the House looks unlikely to ever allow more aid to Ukraine, the SCOTUS seems determined to create a constitutional crisis, Alabama looks likely to…
Big Question: Why Does the World’s Richest Country (for Nearly a Century) Continually Pretend It’s Too Broke to Help Its People?
Any given day of the news, you can find some story of [fill in the blank] Republican politician saying America “can’t afford” to pay for Medicaid, or “Social Security is going broke,” or some new version of a timeless theme for the Republican Party: that America’s miserly social safety net is unsustainable and antiquated and…
A Generic, Dated DeSantis is Determined to be This Cycle’s Rick Perry or Ted Cruz
Ron DeSantis seems determined to fade into “Presidential also-ran” history by running on roughly the same stuff every far-right Republican for 20 years. Recently, he said he’d eliminate the exact same federal agencies Rick Perry said he would in 2012 (Education, Commerce, Energy, and IRS), apparently oblivious that Perry went on to lead the Energy…
Why Should Americans Follow the Supreme Cult when the Supreme Inquisition Wants to Strip Them of Their Rights?
This is actually a very fair question. —For starters, the Supreme Court’s power is only the perception of power. It has no agency to enforce its rulings. The Justice Department is independent of the court, and no law enforcement agency answers to the court. [They have a police force of roughly 200 officers, but they exist largely…
General Thoughts on this Supreme Court’s Typically Moronic and Scary Affirmative Action Decision
There is no conceivable justification for this decision other than this current court’s mantra of “we’ll do it because we can.” —Many clueless white conservatives (and Asians) have already answered that only SATs should be used for college admissions—apparently ignorant that SATs have a long standing racial bias and several states/colleges are excluding them altogether. —It is outrageous…
Why Do People Who Earned Nothing on Merit Keep Championing a “Meritocracy?”
Recently, Donald Trump celebrated the Supreme Court’s typically moronic decision to do away with affirmative action in college admissions. Naturally, Trump would celebrate this since he is a lifelong bigot with an inferiority complex about any qualified black person getting even the slightest “advantage” over a guy who would be lucky to get a job…
Is the Phenomenal Box Office of “Sound of Freedom” a Money Laundering Scheme?
In a Summer of movies that have largely “underperformed” (to put it charitably), there’s one movie that has exploded expectations so thoroughly, its box office graph looks more like the performance of Bernie Madoff’s hedge fund. Of course, I’m referring to the over 100-million (so far) grossing “Sound of Freedom.” Many box office prognosticators (or…
Exactly Why the Left Hates Clarence Thomas
Every white bigot on social media: “Because he’s black. Of course, Democrats are the true racists.” Clarence Thomas does not represent the views of 99% of black people (since they, generally, don’t appreciate efforts to stop them from voting or dismantling their civil rights). To say, most black Americans don’t see eye-to-eye with him on…
Good News for Biden: Professional Hypocrite Marjorie Taylor-Greene Says He’s Corrupt
Recently, Marjorie Taylor-Greene (a woman with so little class, she seems designed to make Sarah Palin look like Grace Kelly in comparison) said that the Biden family was the “largest crime syndicate” in America. Since a broken click is wrong 1,438 minutes out of 1,440 minutes of the day, this is terrific news for Biden….
