The Bristol Palin and Stormy Daniels Abstinence Road Show
William B. Turner Multiple reports lately about how the Trump administration is moving funds away from addressing teen pregnancy in effective ways into “abstinence only” “sex education,” which multiple studies have shown is entirely ineffective at best, harmful at worst. This is the epitome of the Trump administration. It perfectly exemplifies the point that Trump…
Read MoreTop Pick To Replace Ryan Is a White Supremacist
Wait. What? This guy’s for real? Alas, so it seems. The leading Republican candidate in the race to take Paul Ryan’s place in Congress is a chap named Paul Nehlen, a fairly obscure non-entity who has been floating around Wisconsin politics for some time. The kicker? He is a white supremacist who’s best known for…
Read MoreSuing Mr. Jones
By Michael Jay Tucker So I read the other day that three of the parents whose children died at Sandy Hook are suing Alex Jones, he of InfoWars, and the man who first widely promoted the appalling falsehood that it was all a “false flag operation,” that the dead were merely crisis actors, and that…
Read MoreLiberals Taking Charge of Democrats
By Michael Jay Tucker There was an interesting article over on the Washington Post last week, “First-time, liberal candidates are flooding the Democratic primaries,” by Kevin Schaul and Kevin Uhrmacher. It seems, say the authors, that hundreds (maybe thousands) of liberals are entering the Democratic primaries. For the first time in a long while, it…

By @BossBird17 Looking back over the past year, it’s unfathomable that Trump’s time in office has only been fifteen months. Indeed, it feels as if fifteen years have passed. In the book, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, one of the writers accurately depicted what every citizen is experiencing by conveying that we are locked…

William B. Turner Many people are busy discussing the absurd claim from the Republicans that their gigantic tax cut would result in increased wages for workers. Of course not. What a stupid claim. It’s really pretty amazing how little officials from the so called Party of business understand about how businesses actually work. For profit…

BOYCOTT FOX NEWS ADVERTISER “MY PILLOW.” By Marc Keyser, author of TheResistance.Blog Fox News host Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle attacked Parkland student, David Hogg, and he fired back with a boycott of Fox News advertisers. In the aftermath of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on…

By Luke Haines I spend a lot of my time in Ireland for my day job. I’m in Ireland as I write this, in a town called Tralee, immortalised in the song “The Rose of Tralee” which subsequently gave its name to an annual woman-judging contest. Irish music only has two genres – threatening and…
Read MoreFor The Fox Of It
By Burt Gretzinger To hear Sean Hannity tell it, he’s done nothing wrong, of late. There isn’t anything seedy or corrupt about his vehement defense of the President when (it has emerged) he and the president share the same seedy and corrupt lawyer. Not only has Sean Hannity not, say, completely violated journalistic ethics, but…
Read MoreAtlantic Says He’s Unfit
Nice article over on the Atlantic’s web site this week, Unfit To Command by David Frum. In it, Frum looks at all Donald Trump’s shortcomings and comes to the conclusion that he is flat-out incapable of running a country. Or, as he puts it, “Even if he’s offering to take you to church, you don’t…
