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….
The REAL Reason for Elon Musk’s Bizarre Anti-Trans Bigotry
Many liberals know that Elon Musk has taken such a bizarre stance against transgender people, that he makes J. K. Rowling look like an ally. Most recently, he banned the word “cisgender” from Twitter, and called it a slur. This is yet another sad day for Twitter, and a true sign of how far it’s…
What is the Republican Election Platform?
Good question, and I’m not sure all of them truly know… As others have pointed out, Trump did not have a platform in 2020. While running, he steadfastly avoided even talking about what a second term would look like. “What do you want to do in a second term?” “Make America Great Again and America…
This Week, Trump’s Cult is Showing Exactly WHY People Call Them a Cult
Before the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, I would often see Trump’s horde (mostly white conservative males, but some women too) complaining about being labeled a “cult.” And then usually they might make horrific false equivalency like “Well, how come Biden voters aren’t called a ‘cult’ but Trump voters are called one?” Republicans are used to…
While Everyone Was Worrying About a Government Takeover, They Didn’t Notice the Government Was Being TAKEN Over
Forever, we’ve heard rightwing complaints that the government is too intrusive, too power-hungry, and too control-mad to let citizens live their lives freely. In an earlier article today titled “‘Government is Evil Republicans’ Sure Want Government to Control People” I shoot holes in the narrative that Republicans have ever truly wanted small government or the…
What Would a DeSantis Presidency Look Like? Hint: It’s NOT a Given He’s “Less Crazy than Trump”
Since it’s more likely than not that Ron DeSantis will be the 2024 Republican nominee, many are asking “Just what would a Ron DeSantis Presidency actually look?” Like most things the media says, I disagree with the prevailing narrative that it’s guaranteed Ron DeSantis would be “less crazy than Trump.” Although we don’t know for…
“Government is Evil Republicans” Sure Want Government to Control People
One of the great, hidden ironies of politics in this century is that Republicans pretend they are for small government, but have only ever given the government more control over people’s lives, usually over aspects that have no need for government input. Meanwhile, they pretend they are economic wizards (and some Democrats pretend they hate capitalism),…
What if Kamala Harris Suddenly Became President?
All over the internet, you can find various “what if?” scenarios where the white male conservative horde is practically having a panic attack at the mere idea of Kamala Harris taking over for Joe Biden. It doesn’t seem to matter that she’s already taken over for him once (when he had a colonoscopy, temporarily transferring…
