There's a reason Dear Leader 'loves the poorly educated.'

I'm probably going to be dead soon.
J. Basil Dannebohm writes, "You’re not likely to see critics like Jasmine Crockett or Lawrence O'Donnell hauled away to a fate unknown.

'Justice' and 'transparency' with caveats? Epstein victims deserve better.
J. Basil Dannebohm writes, "An authentic quest for the truth would involve reaching out to Epstein’s victims. Instead, what we’re witnessing is nothing more than uniparty political theatre. There are, undoubtedly, prominent people, Democrats and Republicans alike, who were associated with Jeffrey Epstein. In Washington, the establishment on both sides of the aisle claim they want justice, but that comes with a caveat: The truth must benefit 'their side.' That’s not justice. T

Trump's America: The shining gaslight upon a hill.
The Israeli attack on Iran was almost certainly orchestrated on behalf of the Trump administration as a way in which to prop up a milquetoast authoritarian who’s dying in the polls. Just as the feud between Trump and Musk was a distraction, so too is the Middle East escalation and the civil unrest on the home front.
