Who Needs Enemies?

Friday, January 28th, 2022

Some of the most tragic war stories involve friendly fire.  There is nothing friendly about guns firing during war.  The adjective friendly is added to indicate that the bullet hit an ally instead of an enemy. During the last legislative session, Republicans crafted one of the most suppressive voter bills in the country.  Republicans saw […]

Which Side Are You On?

Thursday, January 6th, 2022

On January 6, 2021, Fox News host Laura Ingram texted Mark Meadows, Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff.  Ingram begged, “Mark, the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy.”  Everyone in the White House and on Fox News knew who was […]

Build Back Better

Thursday, December 9th, 2021

President Joe Biden won the 2020 election by promising that America would Build Back Better.  Slowly, the Democratic Congress has been fulfilling that promise. A big step occurred last month.  Democrats crafted a bi-partisan infrastructure bill.  It included $110 billion for building, repairing, and replacing roads, bridges and bicycle paths. The infrastructure bill also included […]

Building a Brighter Future

Thursday, November 11th, 2021

Last week America won.  It received strong news about the present economy and the outlook for the future.   President Joe Biden and the Democratic Congress delivered on their promise to create and improve American jobs. The CNBC headline read “Job creation roars back in October as payrolls rise by 531,000.”  This rate of job creation […]

Earth Race

You don’t have to listen long to hear what workers are saying about their lives.  Their hours are long. Their pay is stagnant. They want more time with their children. They live one healthcare emergency away from bankruptcy. Millionaires and billionaires, however, have never had it better.  They have the lowest tax rate since the […]

Don’t Bear False Witness

Thursday, October 14th, 2021

Justice requires the truth.  As Americans we require anyone testifying to do it under oath.  Oath breakers face penalties for perjury. The truth is no less important in other aspects of life.  Both Civil Law and the Bible made bearing false witness a crime.  Civil law calls it liable.  Psalm 6 calls bearing false witness […]

I’m Not Scared of Words

Tuesday, October 12th, 2021

Every time we turn around Fox News and the rest of the professional conservatives cry like babies about scary socialism.  It doesn’t take much education to know they haven’t a clue what socialism is.  They simply want to scare and paralyze American. In the early 1900s apartment and factory fires killed thousands.  As a society […]

Cruelty is a Feature, Not an Accident

Thursday, September 16th, 2021

The terrorist attacks on 9/11 ignited the rise of Big Government Conservatism.  Just a few months before, George W. Bush had won a razor thin election by presenting himself as a compassionate conservative.  Within days of the September attacks his mask fell off. Bush started to channel the blood lust rising in conservative circles.  I […]

Yes, I’m a Feminist

Friday, September 10th, 2021

In 1862 the United Kingdom’s Parliament passed the first in a series of Contagious Disease Acts.  The Members of Parliament considered sexually transmitted diseases a matter of national security.  The MPs believed prostitutes spread the disease to the Armed Forces and weakened them. The Acts specifically targeted suspected prostitutes, not the soldiers, sailors, or marines.  […]

Time to Come Home

Thursday, September 2nd, 2021

The United States Armed Forces have shown the world again that it is the best trained and equipped on the planet. In 2001, they went into Afghanistan to kill Osama Bin Laden and dismantle the 9/11 terror network. Long after their mission to kill Osama Bin Laden was successful and Al Qaeda driven from Afghanistan, […]
