What level of gall ranks lower than “unconscionable”? Whatever that is, it’s how they measure the doorways at Fox News headquarters. Before the March for Our Lives, Fox interviewed the amazing student survivors/organizers from Parkland, Fla. Then, seriousness aside, Fox turned the mike over to the original killer clown, Rush Limbaugh, to tear at their…
The Republican Party just spent $10 million on one congressional election in Pennsylvania and reaped nothing but agony. Calculators out: What it spent amounted to $100 per vote cast for the loser (Donald Trump). For the GOP in this election year, the agony has just begun. You might claim that the loser in Pennsylvania Congressional…
The Trump administration has inspired some amazing magazine covers, like Time’s depicting the tweeter-in-chief poking in his palm as he leans like a giant vagrant against a cratering Washington Monument. Brutal. However, that’s tame compared to Newsweek Feb. 16. Under “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” in 50-point type, wounded and dying Disney-esque creatures flee and fall before Trump’s man…
Do you care about Donald Trump and the porn star? You are entitled not to, and not to care as well about the Playmate who said he, um, engaged her and then offered to pay. In both instances, said activities would have occurred two years into his marriage to Melania. Busy man. USA Today recently…
Billy Graham is dead, and Christianity isn’t feeling too good itself. So charismatic, so compelling, no American rang up more ratings points for his faith than “America’s pastor,” but that was yesterday. Now? Church attendance steadily declines. Meanwhile, the numbers of those who declare themselves spiritual but not religious grow. Surely the reasons for this…
A 19-year-old drove a killing machine right through a Florida high school the other day, killing 17 and injuring many more. It just shows you that no matter what traffic laws we have, people will die. So let’s all agree to do nothing. It’s pointless. Well, all right. The killer tore through Marjory Stoneman Douglas…
Donald Trump lies more often without consequence than anyone to ever grace his position. Being a frequent liar, however, doesn’t make him a good one. As fabrication has proved to be his primary function in the White House, that’s sad. It’s a massive waste of entrepreneurial talent. Let’s see. Trump said dozens of times on…
Mike Pence, defending the release of a politically juiced Republican memo that Donald Trump said “vindicated” him, said it was all about transparency. As is Trump’s releasing his tax returns. As is Trump’s releasing of White House visitor logs. As are the names of foreign companies doing business with the Trump organization. Oh, wait. He’s…
In scary fiction from yesteryear, the Wicked Witch of the West held a young Kansas girl’s life in limbo behind castle walls because she wanted her magic shoes. In scarier reality this year, the Wicked SOB of the East holds the lives of 790,000 young Americans in limbo because he wants his wall. Donald Trump…
As Senate deliberations and the federal government ground to a halt, Donald Trump was doing what he does best: watching TV. That’s what the White House reported. Thanks for the advisory. Trump was watching Fox News, most certainly. Or maybe something better was on Netflix. Nah, he watched cable as he always does. Watched and…
