Trump headed to his happy place

UncategorizedBy John YoungMarch 20, 2023Leave a comment

You have the right to remain silent. Any incriminating thing that you haven’t already tweeted will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to a lawyer. If you exhaust the Greater New York Yellow Pages looking in vain, we’ll provide one. Indictment – one likely to be just the…

‘Woke’ phantoms behind school walls

UncategorizedBy John YoungMarch 14, 2023Leave a comment

If any evidence were needed that the essence of Republicanism in 2023 is petty white grievance, consider the hit job on an Idaho community college. Behold, North Idaho College: so evil as it teaches young adults of Kootenai County diesel mechanics and radiography. So demonic as it provides low-cost core courses for people otherwise priced…

Safety advocates vs. industry shysters

UncategorizedBy John YoungMarch 6, 2023Leave a comment

Pete Buttigieg chose his words with care. In an MSNBC interview, the secretary of transportation easily could have scapegoated someone for the disaster at East Palestine, Ohio. But an investigation is in the works. As a responsible person, Buttigieg signaled that he’d wait for facts. Unlike, for instance, someone who hauled a bunch of “Trump”…

Biden arrives to save planet tied to tracks

UncategorizedBy John YoungFebruary 27, 2023Leave a comment

Today’s question: How do you pronounce “Curses!” in Texan? Two syllables or three? Whatever. Some stove-piped hatters in an industry group nominally identified with Texas will curse out loud at some good tidings I now share: Electric cars are catching up with gasoline-powered cars in price. Demand is soaring. Indeed, with federal tax credits and…

The blood on Fox News’ hands

UncategorizedBy John YoungFebruary 20, 2023Leave a comment

Let’s check out the outrage on Fox News this week. What is it? “Woke” candy morsels? Death panels for natural gas stoves? Cheeseburgers snatched from the mouths of babes? So, what? No outrage: a tidal wave of death from maniacs bearing military-style weapons. No outrage: a planet reeling from drought, sea-level rise and extreme weather…

Biden bets on the 21st Century

UncategorizedBy John YoungFebruary 13, 2023Leave a comment

Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year? How does a party on the outs measure a blown opportunity? Let’s just say that for Republicans there’s always next year. This year, in their second chance to rebut President Biden’s State of the Union, they bet that Americans wanted to…

King Trump and the EPA exodus

UncategorizedBy John YoungFebruary 6, 2023Leave a comment

Looking back, it all seems so long ago – another era entirely, an epoch committed to dusty catacombs and flaking Sanskrit. Surely it couldn’t be just two years since the end of Pharaoh’s reign. We sang songs about his departure. We celebrated his exile to his gold-plated compound. But King Trumptankhamun — “King Trump” of…

Anti-debt saviors? A time-tested GOP con

UncategorizedBy John YoungJanuary 31, 2023Leave a comment

Until that televised perp walk, enough with George Santos. When this country elected a serial fabulist (“I’m self-funding my own campaign”) to its highest office, it made manifest that lying is a coin of conquest. Enough about a little congressman and his little lies. Something bigger is dead ahead. We are approaching a moment with “catastrophe” written…

‘Equity’ is not a four-letter word

UncategorizedBy John YoungJanuary 23, 2023Leave a comment

As brilliant and visionary as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was, he would acknowledge that everything he said about social justice was self-evident. Self-evident, like “all men are created equal.” On equality, however, King took pains to assert other truths that we shouldn’t need a visionary to notice, like: “It’s a cruel jest to tell…

‘Servants of the Damned’ tend to get their way

UncategorizedBy John YoungJanuary 16, 2023Leave a comment

Two headlines last week pretty much summed up how the world works – to the world’s detriment. The first: a report in the journal Science that Exxon-Mobile’s own scientists were “remarkably accurate” in predicting global warming as far back as the 1970s, and of course played it down. The second: that Sen. Joe Manchin’s top…
