Commemorating Memorial Day

We need to honor and remember the people who made our freedoms and democracy possible — I have been lucky enough to have traveled throughout my life. One thing I noticed in every place, no matter how different the society, culture, and mores may be, every nation I have seen sets aside space, time, and energy to commemorate and honor the men and women who made…

I’m Looking for America

Progress in the United States is in retrograde When former President Donald Trump moved into the White House, I hoped that I was wrong about him. About a year and a half later, I found myself in a serious depression over the state of the world. Israel seemed to…

Say What You Want, Donald Trump Is Brilliant

Donald Trump has turned himself into a mirror for his fans’ needs and wants — Former President Donald Trump is a lot of things. As a New Yorker, for my entire life, he has been a part of my consciousness. I remember being a child when he left Ivana for Marla and the New York Post ran that famous headline, “Best Sex of My Life.”…

In 2023, the Fashion Industry Shouldn’t Use Slave Labor

It’s long past time China ended its genocide against the Uyghurs — Today, in 2023, China has placed more than a million Uyghurs in Xinjiang labor camps. While you may not know it, products made with #UyghurForcedLabor probably are in your house right now. Uyghur workers process cotton, tomatoes, and sugar and produce a plethora of products used to make cars, computer…

Rick Scott Bows to Reality on Entitlements

Maybe sunsetting popular programs like Social Security and Medicare is not the best way to get re-elected — The Rescue America plan has been changed Last week, I wrote about Senator Rick Scott (R- ̶H̶e̶l̶l̶-FL)’s plan to save America from keeping people out of poverty. When I wrote that piece on February 9, point six of the plan had this: All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can…

Note to MAGA Peeps; You’ve Been Conned. Deal With It.

It’s time to take the tinfoil hats off, please. — I have to vent. I have been avoiding some MAGA peeps I know. Not because I disagree with their politics (although I do) but because their claims are so stupid, so easily disproved and so blatantly ignorant that I cannot deal with these people after reading such nonsense. Case in…

Don’t Blame George Santos for His Grift; He’s Just Following Trump

Trump elevated political grift to an art form — Help me with my recount! Congressman George Anthony Devolder (Kitara Ravache) Santos finds a way to have new stories come about him every day. Today, a story has come out that Santos raised money after his 2020 unsuccessful bid to win the seat he now holds, by claiming there was going to be a recount…

The GOP Can’t Handle the Truth

“Sleepy Joe Biden” owned the House Republicans this week — Is Kevin McCarthy the Speaker of the House or an unhappy preschool teacher? Watching President Joe Biden own the House GOP was delightfully delicious. Watching Speaker McCarthy try to shush his unruly caucus was the same. And seeing Marjorie Taylor Greene (R- ̶N̶a̶r̶n̶i̶a̶-Georgia) in her Cruella deVille coat was breathtakingly amazing. However, the best part of the speech was not the theatre but…
