‘I Am Jazz’ Is About Being Who You Are, Not What People Want You To Be
I Am Jazz is the children’s book co-written by Internet/TV personality Jazz Jennings that follows an autobiographical look at her early life, being assigned a boy at birth but always feeling like she was a girl. Part of the reason I think so many people find it so controversial because it teaches children they don’tContinue reading “‘I Am Jazz’ Is About Being Who You Are, Not What People Want You To Be”
Don’t Let The Doors Hit Your @$$E$ On The Way Out
To tell the truth, I didn’t think Fox News would shit-can Tucker Carlson so quick. Oh, I believed they’d fire him some time, just not this quickly. I thought they’d at least keep him on through the rest of the year and into 2024. It’s like the part in the movie where you think theContinue reading “Don’t Let The Doors Hit Your @$$E$ On The Way Out”
Money Talks As Possible Legal Precedents Are Avoided
I’m not going to lie. I was really looking forward to seeing Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson and Shawn Hannity cross-examined in the Dominion lawsuit. It’s proof that money talks and bullshit still walks. But in this case, Fox News spread the bullshit so thick they could’ve been held more liable if they weren’t a setContinue reading “Money Talks As Possible Legal Precedents Are Avoided”
Those Who Live In Fear Will Always Harm Others Around Them
I live about halfway along a very long country road that stretches for four or five miles. I also live at the top of a huge incline past a country store. People are always pulling up into my driveway to stop and turn around. Or it’s just to recheck their directions to see if theyContinue reading “Those Who Live In Fear Will Always Harm Others Around Them”
‘Waco: American Apocalypse’ Presents Most Objective View Of 1993 Standoff
Thirty years have passed since the standoff at Mount Carmel outside Waco, Texas when the Branch Davidian compound erupted in flames following a 51-day standoff with federal agents and law enforcement. Who was to blame? That’s been the biggest question that people have been asking themselves since April 19, 1993. I’ve researched a lot ofContinue reading “‘Waco: American Apocalypse’ Presents Most Objective View Of 1993 Standoff”
‘Selective Outrage’ Appropriate Title For Chris Rock Netflix Special
While Netflix has been making bank with many Netflix specials featuring comedians talking about how they’ve been canceled (i.e. Dave Chappelle), it seemed inevitable they’d lure Chris Rock away from HBO (which used to be the go-to place). Originally airing as a live special in the early part of March, Rock, now 58, seems almostContinue reading “‘Selective Outrage’ Appropriate Title For Chris Rock Netflix Special”

“Woke” And “Wokeness” Are The New Buggerbears Of Prejudice And Bigotry
I’ve often thought that very vocal racists and bigots are really the most genuine people. Why? Because they tell you everything you need to know about them. Someone like white supremacist David Duke or far-right politian Pat Buchanan are the type of people who are probably the same in public as they are around friendsContinue reading ““Woke” And “Wokeness” Are The New Buggerbears Of Prejudice And Bigotry”
