Vote Trump, and the Media Will Die

Did you just orgasm? Or was that me? We’re all kinda sticky after reading this quote: “If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they’re not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current […]

Can We Stay Sane a Few More Days? (Also: Has Trump Always Been Winning?)

Craziness is breaking out everywhere — ballots burned in Oregon, fake GOTV operations, voter suppression in Pennsylvania. For weeks I’ve been warning against getting too emotionally involved in all the election hype. Go vote, do whatever you can to help, but don’t let it drive you insane. Even as Democrats are struggling with existential dread […]

BOOM! We Are So #Winning!

Of course, I must add the necessary “don’t get cocky” disclaimer, but ladies and gentlemen, this news is YUGE: Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is waving the white flag in North Carolina, surrendering the state to former President Donald Trump as her campaign withdraws nearly $2 million in planned ad buys from television […]

Probably Not Wearing a MAGA Hat

This has not yet been classified as a “hate crime” and I don’t expect CNN viewers will hear a word about it for some reason: The gunman who allegedly shot an Orthodox Jewish man walking to synagogue Saturday morning in Chicago has been identified as 22-year-old Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi.

It’s Classical Allusions Day

Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? Quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? Quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia? Nihilne te nocturnum praesidium Palati, nihil urbis vigiliae, nihil timor populi, nihil concursus bonorum omnium, nihil hic munitissimus habendi senatus locus, nihil horum ora voltusque moverunt? Patere tua consilia non sentis, constrictam iam […]

The Schadenfreude Smorgasbord

The resignation of Robert Kagan, in response to billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos ordering the paper not to endorse Kamala Harris, is a preview of the open intermural warfare we’ll see among Democrats if Kamala Harris loses next month. Failure in politics requires scapegoats, and Harris herself is exempt from blame because (according to […]

Armageddon Update: IDF Strikes Iran

Peace through superior firepower: Israel on Friday launched a wave of retaliatory airstrikes against Iran after the Islamic Republic fired a barrage of missiles toward Israelis earlier this month. Explosions were heard near Iran’s capital of Tehran and nearby Karaj, Reuters reported, citing local media. “In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime […]

DOA on the Road to Social Justice

In 2019, faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville held a workshop entitled, “Let’s Talk About Privilege.” Among the attendees was Samantha Hamer, a school social worker who graduated from UW-Platteville in 2016. After the workshop, Hamer said: “Racism and white supremacy need to be dismantled everywhere, including Platteville. White people built these systems and still […]
