Raised Catholic in the sixties, the only thing …
Trump brags about the economy, but why? The stock market has boomed but over 80 percent of the stock market is owned by the richest 10 percent of Americans so most Americans don’t feel a boom, but more of a prod on their backside. Tariffs?

Kavanaugh is a nightmare. According to Gallup, Kavanaugh has the slimmest margin in favor of confirmation than for any nominee since Robert Bork’s nomination. Environmental protections? As a D.C. circuit court judge, Kavanaugh has repeatedly ruled against climate change advocates, as well against protections for clean water. Affirmative action? Kavanaugh actually worked with Bork in …

Back before we militarized our border, cyclical immigration allowed Mexicans to stay …
When this president speaks to the racial divide he helped create, he does so in a way that both fascinates and nauseates. On the anniversary of the 2017 riot in Charlottesville that killed a young 32 yr old woman, Trump is still equivocating when it comes to the white, alt-rite monsters who look to …
I heard a conservative talk radio host lamenting the opposition to Chicago police filling a car with Nike sneakers in a low income area as bait for young black men. Some stole sneakers, some didn’t, but community activists cried foul. All the while white conservatives said, “if you don’t want to be arrested, don’t steal …
“LeBron James builds schools, Donald Trump builds cages.” That’s paraphrasing CNN’s Don Lemon after Trump’s insane tweet.

After a heralded youth, he marries his high-school sweetheart, and thru tireless effort becomes the best of the best, enjoying the accolades of his …
If a person is careless with their gun and it’s stolen, should they be held responsible? Of course, except half the time, it’s law enforcement who screwed the pooch, lost their gun, and it ended up in the hands of someone who used it to hurt another. . Remember Kate Steinle? Killed by a law …
Bank of America wants to know if you are a citizen. Who cares? You should, cause they have your money and they’re not giving it back. F*ckin a, you read me right. And the irony is that BofA was fined by the feds just a few years ago. While talking out of one side of …
If Trump’s a genius, why does he have the worst lawyer in the world? Or is that the plan? Be stupid for the stupid?

If you are a Republican, you have my sympathy. Your president has proven to be many things; sociopathic, misogynistic, racist, and simply a horrible person.

I’ve been told that my radio show and stand-up focuses too much on lambasting Trump and his cadre of circus performers.

The religious right’s strange, but predictable support of Trump would be laughable were he not the leader of the free world.

The smug Ivy-League smirk is still there, but if you look close enough, you can see the beginnings of a tremble. Tucker Carlson whored himself for a huge FOX paycheck, and in doing so cemented himself to the Trump legacy; an obscenity that seems on the verge of collapse. And along with it all of …

One one level, the long-lasting Trump effect is pure racism. Trump defended the tiki-torch carrying white supremacists in Charlottesville, the same ones who killed a young 32-year old woman, and in doing so empowered racists across America to fly the confederate flag. Even as far north as Minnesota, confused white people believe that the flag …

In reference to recent political comments by NBA superstar Lebron James, FOX spokeshole, Laura Ingraham told LeBron to “shut up and dribble.” She really said that.

First of all, nothing will happen. Another school shooting, more dead children.

Watching Meet The Press this morning, I actually cringed for Rand Paul as he tried to defend Trump over his racist comments. Echoing Paul Ryan, McConnell, Cruz and all of FOX news, they continue to characterize Trump as “inappropriate, unfortunate, and unhelpful.” FOX’s Hannity, Waters, and Kilmeade say he speaks for the average American. Oh. …
Trump’s attack on Haiti and African nations, describing them as shitholes, exposes yet again the president’s deep seeded racism. What really shocked me was Trump saying that we should instead encourage immigration from countries like Norway. He’s not even trying to hide his hate for people of color. (Remember, Trump was fined by Justice back …
Again, without any thought of it’s appropriateness, legality, or basic decency, Trump’s announcement that he would hold “FAKE NEWS AWARDS” imperils Federal employees.

The news that actress Michelle Williams received the AFTRA-SAG minimum of $80 per day while Mark Wahlberg got $1.5 million for reshooting “All The Money In The World” makes me insane.

Trump campaigned on a lie. The lie is a simple one, propagated by the GOP for years, that a smaller government means less taxes. And it does, but not for them. This 2018 tax bill reduces corporate taxes by over 30%, meaning billions in lost revenue. But who does that really hurt? The answer is …
White Protestants, or if we’re being honest, racists, who insist that we say “Christmas” instead of “Holiday” might reconsider if they did a little bit of homework. With Trump leading the chant, they call on Americans to embrace “the reason for the season,” as a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, …

Whatever opinion you might hold of Donald Trump, and I hold many, such as sociopath, bigot, racist and misogynist, you must admire his doggedness and steadfast commitment to his ugly cause. Compare him, for example, to Ted Cruz. Trump insults Cruz’s wife, his integrity, and even his children, and Cruz’s reacts by lapping at Trump’s …
President Trump’s over-the-top rhetoric has the world on edge, but what effect does it have on Kim Jung Un? Good question, right? As we gauge the international reaction to North Korea’s continued missile launches, here’s a list of what we don’t know; Does Kim have the capability to launch a missile with a fissionable device …
The latest barrage of sexual assault and harassment allegations against men has me thinking and viewing the world differently. As it should. A friend sent me this picture of two Barbies. There’s the “scientist” Barbie and “ice skater” Barbie. They are both attractive representations, but the scientist Barbie seems to be dressed more modestly, and …
Banning valid terminology from government reports is both ignorant and dangerous,” Arthur Caplan, professor of bioethics at New York University’s School of Medicine, told HuffPost in an email. “Not since Lysenko and Stalin has government made hate, malice and duplicity official policy. The Trump administration with its seven-dirty-words policy has now elevated lying to a …
Roy Moore still hasn’t conceded, and his press spokesman actually said this, Judge Moore is loved in Alabama. and has touched a lot of people.” Uh Dude? I think that was the problem.

The annual White House Christmas party for reporters is always worthy of a few jokes. During the course of the year a popular joke among the press corps is “Man you pissed them off. You won’t get an invitation to the Christmas party.” Apparently April Ryan, the African American reporter from American Urban Radio Networks, did just that. She …
If there’s anything certain in politics, it’s this: politics always wins. The GOP Tax bill first promised big cuts for the middle-class, then scared a lot of Americans with the threat of draconian cuts in long established areas, and now is positioned to do as originally intended; provide tax relief for corporations. To be sure, …

The Democratic party had a great Tuesday, or maybe the GOP had a horrific one. Is there a difference? Politics is like those geometry tests where the two trains are heading for a crash. You just have to calculate when. In the case of Jones vs Alabama, GOP voters rejected Moore. And in doing so, …
Spoiler alert: Santa is “Fake News.” I’m kidding of course, although in this political climate, who knows? How did Christmas get so complicated? I love Christmas, but I still say Holidays. Not because I’m afraid of offending my Jewish, Muslim, or Christian friends; I say “Happy Holidays” just to tweak Republicans who think I’m being …

The Washington Post has been on the front lines of a political battle with a President before, but has acknowledged that these are unique times. Tweets, Facebook, Russian bots and Trump’s own Pravda, FOX news, have made it even harder, not to accurately report the news, but to battle Trump’s claims to the contrary. Almost …
A Republican congressman says “diversity” is not a strength. He says it’s “common sense.” Well, what do you expect from a white, middle aged man from the mid-west? Actually, all of evolutionary science says the opposite. The only thing to survive a nuclear war will be cockroaches (and possibly my student debt), and that’s because …

John Lennon wasn’t my hero. I was too young for the Beatles; they “retired” in 1970. I heard their music over the years, but it didn’t resonate. The Beatle who died 37 years ago today was an enigma to a teenage boy growing up as a musician. Instead of wallowing in excess, he married this …
An Alabaman church is comparing Roy Moore’s accusers to the Romans and going on to compare Moore’s plight to the guy for whom after they named their church. Here’s the problem with that logic; JC didn’t fondle 14 year-olds. And to quote a t-shirt from the 70’s, “Jesus is coming, and boy is he pissed!” …

We are not an incredibly sophisticated country. By that I mean we live in the literal, where nuance goes to die. Where Americans deny the existence of time because the hands of a clock move with a grace and subtlety that escapes their lazy gaze. Where a Donald Trump can wrap his vitriolic hate in …
Note: I’m burying the lead, but follow me. With all of the talk of obstruction and the legal maneuvering it will take to end this Faustian nightmare, one thing to remember is Roy Moore. Just two weeks ago, McConnell and Co denounced Moore as a predator. They actually said “predator.” They discussed how they would …

Good for you Billy, although anyone with your last name should be able to spot that a mile away. Trump insults us with an insinuation that the voice on the now infamous “grab pussy” tape may not be his. But Billy Bush came to our rescue by reassuring the 1/2 of 1% of America that …
Arriving in New York for a fundraiser for his 2020 campaign, Trump was welcomed by a variation on his chant. “Lock Him Up, Lock Him Up” filled the air as Trump’s limo pulled up, but once inside he boasted how popular he has become. “New numbers just came out. I’m unbeatable!” Trump boasted. But there …
Trump denies he colluded with Russians. So what is collusion? Collusion is among other things an agreement between two or more parties to obtain an objective forbidden by law. That sounds pretty straightforward. So let’s go back to the Manafort, Kushner, Trump Jr. meeting at the Trump tower in June, 2016, when Trump Jr. expressed …
There’s a small, but emotional group of Americans who are upset at the Kate Steinle verdict and are calling for a boycott of San Francisco. The problem is they’re boycotting the wrong things.

I was at my desk, listening to ESPN, when I heard a report that Tiger Woods had shot a 69. I smiled. When Tiger Woods was on, there was no other. I’ve seen Jack and Arnie, Trevino, Hogan and Player and if I had to bet on one ball-striker for 18 holes, in his day, …
What does Flynn’s arrest mean? The former National Security Advisor’s guilty plea indicates that he’s cooperating with Mueller. He could have been charged with multiple offenses, from his work with Turkey, to possible perjury charges. But what does that mean for the President and his star-crossed family and administration? Trump has dealings with the Russians …
The reason Kate Steinle is dead has nothing to do with “Illegal” immigration or sanctuary cities or building border walls. But that’s what you’ll hear. And without a sense of irony, or forensic insight, that’s the conclusion you might draw. But you’d be wrong. Kate Steinle is dead because elected US Government officials in Washington …

There is a crazy man who has nukes and is a threat to the United States. But it ain’t Kim Jung Un.

Every poll in the world has Trump’s approval rating in the 30’s, an historically, embarrassing low, even for this amoral sociopathic creep.

Trump, while visiting Vietnam, 50 years older, fatter, and bone spurs nowhere to be found, lied again about the Russians. Telling reporters that he asked Putin if he meddled in the 2016 elections, Trump said the Russian president denied it. Again and again. “I can’t ask anymore.

Here’s what Trump doesn’t understand about international trade; tariffs, duties, civil rights, irony and everything else.

Subscriptions to “real media,” that is publications with traditional standards of verification, multiple sourced investigations and on-staff ombudsmen, have more than doubled since Trump’s election.

Trump played a round of golf Sunday with KY Senator Rand Paul, normally a tough critic of Trump. When asked by reporters who won the game, Paul said. “The president never loses, and if you excuse me, I have to go get something out of my ass.”
The rhetoric is heating up. And that means in this increasingly polarized environment, it’s dangerous out there. But the danger isn’t coming from Islam, Black Lives Matter, or even Antifa.

When does life begin? That’s a question for the ages. Some say life begins at conception, others say life begins at birth. Newt Gingrich says life begins after he divorces a cancer-ridden wife. The point is, no one knows, but that doesn’t stop anti-abortion groups from pretending they do. It’s no coincidence that the current …
The NRA needs a new slogan for the Trump era. Instead of “guns don’t kill people,” how about “Let’s Kill All The Fucking Libtards.” Don’t laugh.

Fashion designer Donna Karan came out in defense of Harvey Weinstein today, saying that women in Hollywood were “asking” for trouble. A couple of points.

People are watching to see how liberals respond to Trump. So act like you talk, because now it really matters.
These are ironic times. Or maybe not. I was watching Monday Night Football a couple weeks ago when Hank Williams Jr.’s “Are You Ready For Some Football” rattled my cage. In case you don’t remember, this is the song that opened Monday Night Football for more than a decade until Williams was fired in 2011 …
While Trump bans Muslims and attacks people of color, a dark shadow emerges. While Trump scorns the peaceful protests of NFL players, calling them sons of bitches, a plot unfolds. While Mexican-Americans feed the nation, and 800,000 fully vetted Dreamers go to work and go to school, Trump calls them rapists and murderers and Congress …

Trump is right; his coverage in the media is 95% negative. My question is; WTF is with the other 5%. Covering Trump is like watching that NBC Dateline show, where the person next door was a psychopath all along. Of course, we all knew Trump was off. But this off? From his racist past, to …
Usually, I’m slightly amused when “gun rights” advocates parse words over the definition of an “assault rifle.” But not today. Dozens dead, hundreds injured, and you will again scream about your right to own a gun. So let me get this out there. I don’t give a shit about your handguns. Despite the overwhelming evidence …
President Trump, who was not in Washington working on relief efforts, Russian hacking, Health Care, infrastructure or North Korea, dedicated a golf trophy to the victims in Puerto Rico while golfing in New jersey. They might have appreciated the effort, except that they don’t have fucking electricity to see their President insult them.
The Drudge Report frequently screams that Trump’s polling is up. But the truth is, only one polling company ever cites such a thing, and it’s Rasmussen. They find Trump’s approval ratings 10-20% higher than the dozens of legitimate pollsters. Because they make it up. And now this; conservative pollster Scott Rasmussen has accused scientists of falsifying …
The Washington Post published an extensive piece today on SNL veteran Darrell Hammond, a friend of mine whom I met back in 80s. Normally, I would hesitate to call him a friend, in that we were on the road together 30 years ago when no one knew our names, and today he is one of …
As we look back on the life of Hugh Hefner, I hear revisionist rumblings of how he was a “crusader” for the sexual revolution. Really? Sex doesn’t need a crusader. In case you haven’t noticed, there’s almost seven billion people in the world. Sex is doing just fine. Hugh Hefner wasn’t a visionary. He was …
Trump’s racist undertones are not so subtle these days, but never more then when he says that owners are “afraid” of the players. Think about that. White billionaires are afraid of mostly African-American players. Actually, the owners should be afraid of failing ratings, CTE, and having an ally like the current POTUS, a man whose …
Never underestimate the ability of Americans to miss the f*ckin point. This never was about the flag, it’s about young, African-American males getting shot at a rate 21x the rest of America.

I have two heroes today; Colin Kaepernick and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Colin Kaepernick is an unemployed professional football player who ignited the US with his protest against the shooting of young, unarmed black males. And all he did was nothing. Colin Kaepernick sat still during the national anthem. That’s it. He didn’t raise a fist …
I understand that Trump’s initial plan is working. He’s losing on both Russia and Health Care, so he bloats out new racist blather, hoping it will distract us from his treasonous acts and political failure. Who would do that? We are approaching a point where serious people need to consider these two words; President Pence.
Trump’s insistence on building a wall, a beautiful wall, is really not about a wall. It’s about the “idea” of building a wall. Trump says he knows how to build things, like his Trump towers, so a wall would be easy. (Although I’m not sure how the two compare, unless he built a 2200 mile-high …
Rush Limbaugh, who once again railed that the science of climate change is a hoax, and that Irma’s fury was being exaggerated to perpetuate a lie, fled Florida Thursday to escape the imaginary 185 mph winds.

Libertarian? My realization after riding this train after 9/11 thru the 2008 crash is there is no such thing.

I’m a progressive who 17 years ago was a social liberal, fiscal conservative. Or more to the point, I was wrong. It took two recessions and real-life experiences to truly understand the macro-economics at play.
