For some time, one of the loudest critiques leveled at the Democratic Party is that it really doesn’t stand for anything except opposing Donald Trump. This coming week, the Democrats are doing something to change that. They are rolling out a new economic agenda on Monday called “A Better Deal.” The new program is due to […]
Unlike the rest of his family, Eric Trump doesn’t do Twitter very well. That was amply demonstrated last week when he tried to defend his older brother, Donald Jr., against the firestorm of criticism he faced for meeting with a Russian lawyer in hopes of getting Kremlin-flavored dirt on Hillary Clinton. He claimed that his […]
President Donald Trump was quick to clean house when he took office, or what he referred to as ‘draining the swamp,’ but at least one former Ambassador is ready for some revenge. Japan Former Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy is no stranger to public office. She’s the daughter of former President John F. Kennedy and […]
It was clear long before Donald Trump’s latest unhinged outbursts on Twitter–his slagging of Mika Brzezinski and his simulated bodyslamming of CNN–that he did not have the temperament to be president. However, these ugly outbursts may give legs to a push among House Democrats to have Trump declared mentally unfit for office, in accordance with […]
On paper, the nation’s late-night comedians should be sitting pretty with Donald Trump in the White House. After all, virtually the only thing that makes Trump even remotely bearable is seeing him sent up before we go to bed. But even comedians have their limits. Alec Baldwin, for instance, gave some serious thought earlier this […]
In case we’ve all forgotten, Joe Biden is still the man. Although it took a while for this little narrative to come out, it was worth waiting for. Last month Biden was a guest speaker at the SkyBridge Alternatives Conference (SALT), a star-studded affair that according to their website is: “…Committed to facilitating balanced discussions and […]
Last month, Congressman Al Green of Texas took a bold step. The Democrat from Houston became the first lawmaker in either chamber to call for Donald Trump to be impeached by the House. In response, several bottom-feeders called into his offices in Washington and Houston with horribly racist comments, some of which called for him to […]
Donald Trump responded to Saturday night’s horrific attacks in London in typical fashion–with a barrage of tone-deaf tweets. Well, at least one professor in the UK was having none of it. In case you missed it, Trump used the attacks to peddle the standard Republican line that gun control isn’t always the answer to stopping […]
To hear the most diehard supporters of Donald Trump talk, you would think that there was an 11th commandment added to the Bible–“Thou shalt not speak ill of Donald Trump.” After all, depending on the source, fundie supporters of Trump believe you’re under the influence of witchcraft and demons, and are putting yourself at risk […]
A CNN host recently cracked on air, and ended up apologizing to his guest. While some people were upset, there were plenty of others who basically thanked him. Russian Smoke CNN host Anderson Cooper has lost his composure before on his show, Anderson Cooper 360. One of his most notable moments was the infamous eye roll at Kellyanne Conway. The bar […]
The latest confirmation that Democrats have a wind at their backs came early Saturday morning. The man fighting to take the seat once occupied by Newt Gingrich announced that he is the first congressional candidate in history to rack up more than a million online donations. Jon Ossoff turned a lot of heads in April […]
One of the most, if not the most, outrageous moves by a politician not named Donald Trump in recent memory came to light earlier this week. Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, got the bright idea to personally target one of his staunchest critics in New Jersey’s 11th District, Saily Avelenda. She […]
Overall, former President Obama has been very respectful and said almost nothing about Donald Trump since leaving the White House in January, but a new report reveals that Obama doesn’t hold the current resident of the Oval Office in very high esteem. A story in the latest issue of People reveals that President Obama summed […]
One of the stories of my childhood involved John F. Kennedy. I grew up in greater Boston, so that shouldn’t be a big surprise. Still, the story has stayed in my mind for 50 years or more. My mother was a young, innocent, beautiful woman living in one of Boston’s big housing projects back in […]
Last Tuesday night, Bill O’Reilly went on what he said was a pre-planned trip to Europe while in the middle of a firestorm over allegations that he sexually harassed dozens of women.

Under former President Barack Obama’s administration, several U.S. cities came under a consent decree that outright stated they would work with the Department of Justice’s civil rights division to reform themselves.

Apparently, there is a rumor going around that former President Barack Obama did nothing in Syria. Syria’s brutal civil war has claimed almost half a million lives and left the country in ruins, and many people have taken to blaming Obama for somehow either causing the crisis or not doing anything about it. They believe […]
Many people who continuously saw the bad within former President Barack Obama constantly ask why people believe Obama was such a great president. And for them, we have two words: forward thinking. The greatest misconception of many people’s views on government is the idea that our government is working for the current generation. This is […]
When “Saturday Night Live” returned from a four-week hiatus, the gang at Studio 8H wasn’t lacking for material. They had the flap over the nuclear option and the smorgasbord of news about Donald Trump’s Russia ties, among other things. Ultimately, the “Not Ready For Primetime Players” decided to kill two birds with one stone. Alec Baldwin […]
It happened back in January 2016. We were still in the early days of the presidential campaign, before the first caucus had even taken place. Candidate Donald Trump was holding a rally at the University of Iowa. Police were expecting protestors, because Trump had already alienated and offended huge numbers of Americans. His rallies were […]
