On January 11, 1944, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed a second Bill of Rights for Americans. It’s sadder than hell that people have moved so far to the right in this country that these wouldn’t even be considered today: “Among these are: — The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or …
“I’m increasingly seeing so many people now twigging that everything they’ve been told is a lie. “Work hard, get yer head down and get rewarded? “Aye? “There’s people doing two fucking jobs that are barely keeping their heads above water. People on £50-60K a year are unable to buy a house and also paying a …
My dad died more than 16 years ago, and yesterday at least, I was glad he wasn’t around. He worked for the Department of Defense for 40 years, most of that in the Pentagon, and retired during the Bush 41 Administration. He worked under Defense secretaries who were good and not so good, but he …
All right. It’s been almost a week, so it’s time to ask the question. “WHAT THE F**K?!!!!!” What, you thought there was another question? First off, one thing is absolutely true about this election. The result of the 2024 presidential election was more about Kamala Harris losing than about Donald Trump winning. Sound like sour …
“You have been selected to be a house slave at the plantation. Be ready on Saturday, November 9th, 11:00 a.m. sharp.“ Following the re-election of Donald Trump, African-American students in 25 states received text messages or emails informing them that yes, the party is over. Apparently, Trump’s first priority as president will be ending African-American …
There are very few times in which I have found myself at a loss for words. I typed that first sentence 20 minutes ago, and very little has come to mind since then. I awakened today to the election results and while I wasn’t all that surprised by the result, I was stunned by the …
I went through the Electoral College map a few minutes ago to make my semi-educated guess about the presidential election. Four years ago, Joe Biden beat Donald Trump, 306-232. If each candidate, Kamala Harris and Trump carried the same states this time that were carried by their party last time, the margin would be 303-235 …
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. That Billy Yeats sure could write some purty poems. …
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” This was of course a big part of the speech …
Garbage? There’s a floating island of garbage in the Atlantic Ocean and it’s known as Puerto Rico? And this is supposed to be funny? True, it wasn’t Donald Trump who made the remark. It was comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who made such a blatantly racist remark, although he was part of Trump’s six-hour rally this weekend …
