I’ve made a mistake in my analyses of the future of American democracy (or lack thereof): The next civil war won’t necessarily pit red states against blue states. Just like now when elections are often won in suburban America—let’s call that the conurbation of a major city instead to emphasize the connection with the urban—the… Continue reading Urban vs. rural…
Blog
The Jamaican diaspora…
[Note from Steve: Occasionally an article I create is appropriate for both my writer’s blog and my political one. This article is one of them, and it will also appear on https://stevenmmoore.com.] The reader can consider this article an homage to Harry Belafonte, whose soft but raspy voice made calypso music famous. I was a… Continue reading The Jamaican diaspora…
Digital deception…
Marilyn Monroe in a Broadway play? Humphrey Bogart in a thrilling sci-mi movie? DJT lauding the policies of Biden in an ad on CNN? Biden admitting that Carlson’s right about Hunter on Fox? The NASA chief acknowledging to Russian media that Americans have a military base on the far side of the moon that’s developing… Continue reading Digital deception…
Is this where the new civil war will begin?
Wars often begin in unusual places or in unusual circumstances. Civil wars, not so much; but the US is a big country! The Tennessee legislature’s scandal seems to be an unusual circumstance, but in many ways that state, as birthplace of the KKK, would be a fitting place to begin a new civil war. There’s… Continue reading Is this where the new civil war will begin?
The GOP aids and abets murderers…
That’s what it comes down to when considering their reluctance to act on gun control. By not banning assault weapons and large magazines, they are aiding and abetting the deranged people who commit the mass shootings in the US! Innocents are dying—children, men, and women—and our 130 mass shootings so far this year will only… Continue reading The GOP aids and abets murderers…
Trump’s circus is back in NYC: a special report…
Il Duce’s imperious scowl has returned to Fifth Avenue; Tucker Carlson is foaming at the mouth about a possible gag order against his hero (I hope he loses his job when Dominion wins its lawsuit); and Marjorie Taylor Greene is chomping at the bit, ready to protest (she needs a permanent gag order!). Every fascist… Continue reading Trump’s circus is back in NYC: a special report…
The point of no return?
The Good Ole Piranhas (aka Republicans or the GOP) are now between a rock and a hard place: A minority of them want to return to the core values of the party—limited government, support of big business, a strong military and foreign policy, etc., the GOP’s traditional conservative values in a nutshell—but the others, especially… Continue reading The point of no return?
Talking points for the Dems’ 2024 campaigns…
Because everybody’s already talking about it, I thought an article about the upcoming 2024 presidential campaign and election, while a bit nonsensical, is perhaps appropriate. The Dems will have a good time if they can get past their petty and selfish differences; the Good Ole Piranhas will never get past theirs, so they’ll probably have… Continue reading Talking points for the Dems’ 2024 campaigns…
Let’s have a conspiracy theory!
[Note from Steve: Special early wishes for St. Paddy’s Day to all my readers! You don’t have to be an Irish-American like President Biden to enjoy the day. Everyone can be Irish on St. Paddy’s Day. Go to your local pub and quaff some Irish ale, stout, or whiskey and bangers and mash, lamb, or… Continue reading Let’s have a conspiracy theory!
Higher-education costs…
They can be challenging for students and parents alike. As the fascist judges on SCOTUS rail against President Biden’s plan to help people handle this onerous burden, let’s consider some details of the case. First, the main issue here, the most important one, in fact, and what those fascist judges seem to be willingly ignoring,… Continue reading Higher-education costs…
