Early vote-count results were encouraging, so he planned a victory speech. Then the tally went sour, and so did he. “It was stolen from me,” said Donald Trump. Over the next few weeks Trump pestered state officials alleging irregularities. He threatened to sue. “Fraud,” he declared without a shred of evidence. But Ted Cruz had…
Do you suffer the pain, itch and night sweats of contextual CRT in schools? Has intersectionality harmed the unwitting young near you? Have you noticed the debilitating condition of DEI in businesses and agencies around you? Have any of your governmental institutions developed the syndrome of ESG? If you are wondering about these terms, don’t…
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…
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…
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”…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
