Let’s Remember What “Fake News” REALLY Was

Share

I‘ve seen it every time control of the White House changes hands. The people who only just started paying attention as of the most recent election are “shocked, shocked!” to discover something terrible about the outgoing administration or politics at large that previous administrations were FAR more guilty of, but they didn’t pay attention to […]

Yes, Russia Hacks. And you sound like an idiot joking about it.

Why the Electoral College Should Wait Before Voting

Share

Lately, I’ve noticed I can’t shake the feeling Russia is actually *shaping* the Trump Administration. I don’t mean they are simply reaping the rewards of having an admirer of Putin defending them as Trump prepares to take the White House. I mean that the subject of “Russia” keeps popping up in places I never expected. Case in point: When […]

The Most Frightening Thing This Election is that One Of Them Will Win

Share

Happy Halloween. And with the latest round of “scandals” ping-ponging between the candidates each week (Trump’s sexual misconduct, now Hillary’s emails), the more I dread what’s in store for us over the next four years (notice I did NOT say “four to eight” years.) Last February, despite being an enthusiastic Bernie supporter, I conceded that if the choice […]

Could 1990 Texas Governors Race Foretell a Surprise Win for Hillary There?

Share

The 1990 race for governor of Texas bears an eerie similarity to the Clinton/Trump race as the two are now statistically tied to win the Lone Star State, possibly foretelling a surprise Clinton upset.

BREAKING: Major Party Candidates are Duplicitous Frauds. Oh, and we’re all screwed
