To laud our veterans today, I want to focus on what they fought to preserve, freedom. From day one, this republic has stood against autocracy, freedom for the people to determine what’s right and better for their own lives, not in behalf some autocrat and his edicts, from the oppressive edicts of the English King… Continue reading How to create an autocracy…

Vaccine myths…
They range from reasonably sounding ones that just aren’t true to the absolutely ridiculous. Let’s get rid of the latter first, because they show just how stupid some people are. (See Einstein’s quote. He was right about human stupidity.) Vaccines are not a plot to control anyone. They are not used to inject microchips into… Continue reading Vaccine myths…
Religious exemptions?
Is there any religion that condones infecting someone with a deadly disease or committing murder by doing the same? If someone’s religion does that, they might want to consider getting a different religion! I’m talking about religious exemptions against vaccines, Covid vaccines in particular. For the latter, judges or policy makers shouldn’t accept them because… Continue reading Religious exemptions?
“What a Wonderful World”
Note from Steve: Sometimes it happens that I’ll write an article that’s appropriate for both my blogs, this one and my writer’s blog at https://stevenmmoore.com. That will usually mean the message contained therein goes beyond politics. I hope this short one resonates. *** Okay, you’ve probably heard many renditions of this song, but Reuben and… Continue reading “What a Wonderful World”
Keeping the “Big Lie” going…
I had to laugh when the “fraudit” in Arizona’s Maricopa county found more than ninety more votes for Biden and more than two-hundred less for Trump It was also amused because Arizona had spent a lot of state donors’ funds (millions) to pacify the fuehrer, Narcissus le Grand. That Crazy Chump even lauded the auditors… Continue reading Keeping the “Big Lie” going…
The Piranhas ignore your health…
I’m sorry, fascist Good Ole Piranhas (GOP), but certain services (Piranhas, take a deep breath!) should be socialized and not in the private sector. Public transportation and schools have been that way since I can remember, and the world hasn’t come to an end. Health care should be as well, and I’m not talking about… Continue reading The Piranhas ignore your health…
Impending doom for Dems…
Presidents usually can’t affect the economy except when big programs are passed (e.g. FDR’s to combat the Depression). They certainly can’t affect gas prices (they’re up now because the price of crude is up—that’s happened before), or the prices of goods (caused by worldwide events like World War II…or Covid’s effect on supply chains, China’s… Continue reading Impending doom for Dems…
The fascist world of sports…
It didn’t begin with Jon Gruden or the reaction to taking a knee to protest America’s racism. Sports at the college level, and especially the professional level, have always been fascist. The main reason? Money and power, of course. Conservative personalities turn to fascism for both, and the sports world is no exception because there… Continue reading The fascist world of sports…
Tech crooks?
Not long ago, the NY Times published an article that considered this question: Why isn’t the tech industry charged and sentenced more for the crimes they commit? I wouldn’t have wasted all that space they did on the answer, because it’s an easy one: The tech industry watches and controls most human activity now! They’re… Continue reading Tech crooks?
McConnell…
Moscow Mitch is the most Machiavellian Good Ole Piranha leader the Senate has ever had, and his four years playing along with Narcissus le Grand have done tremendous damage to American democracy, the recent blackmail with the debt ceiling but the tip of the iceberg. The Turtle is a sneaky, behind-the-scenes villain bent on turning… Continue reading McConnell…
