‘Reality’ Presents A Double Standard

Did the powers that be at Warner Bros. Discovery actually anticipate the 37-count indictment against Donald Trump or was it just one of those lightning in a bottle moments that works where life imitates art sometimes. Remember how the Three Mile Island incident happened shortly after The China Syndrome came out? Or how Wag theContinue reading “‘Reality’ Presents A Double Standard”

Will Trump Take The GOP Down With Him Or Will They Finally Cut Him Loose?

Depending on what happens on Tuesday, June 13 at the arraignment in federal court for former President Donald J. Trump will more than likely determine the future of the Republican Party. At the arraignment, Trump could be ordered jailed even though his lawyers will agrue a bail so he can continue to travel and holdContinue reading “Will Trump Take The GOP Down With Him Or Will They Finally Cut Him Loose?”

Pat Robertson Is Finally Dead, But His Legacy Will Live On, Unfortunately

There’s an old saying that goes the only reason someone is still alive is “Heaven doesn’t want ’em and Hell is afraid that they’ll talk over.” Pat Robertson, who was a Southern Baptist minister and TV personality, along with a one-time Presidential candidate, finally died on June 8. For many people, he wasn’t a manContinue reading “Pat Robertson Is Finally Dead, But His Legacy Will Live On, Unfortunately”

Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?

June is Pride Month in support of the LBGTQIA community. Lately, conservatives and Christians have gone on a rant against Target, Bud Light beer and even Chick-fil-A, the corporate equivalent of their grand old racist uncle, for being “woke.” There once was a time when corporations and businesses didn’t acknowledge this community. You may rememberContinue reading “Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?”

‘Gender Queer’ Follows One Person’s Path Toward Happiness And Fulfillment

Note: To discuss this, I will use the Spivak pronouns the author uses which are gender-neutral. People like Maia Kobabe have existed for centuries. But e have been labeled as “tomboys” or “butch” where are derogatory and misleading. It’s hilarious for a society such as ours that wants to censor anything and everything that revolvesContinue reading “‘Gender Queer’ Follows One Person’s Path Toward Happiness And Fulfillment”

Please Remember Those No Longer Here This Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day. One of my peeves is when people say “Happy Memorial Day.” There’s nothing to be happy about people who were killing in action, or died as the result of their war wounds. And I’m talking about those who became addicted to alcohol or drugs to help with their pain. I’m alsoContinue reading “Please Remember Those No Longer Here This Memorial Day”

It’s Going To Be A Long Campaign Season (Ay, Dios Mio!)

While watching a Congressional hearing where Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) asked the Democrats to remember the “decorum” of the House of Representatives as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), someone online commented it was started to appear like the British Parliamant. While I’m admit, we’re sliding into the United Kingdom’s mentality of “Not tooContinue reading “It’s Going To Be A Long Campaign Season (Ay, Dios Mio!)”

Long Live The Queen Of Rock

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Tina Turner this last week. She was known for her electifying on-stage performance as well as a singing voice that no one could ever duplicate. But for many other people, she was known as Aunty Entity the ruthless leader of Bartertown in the barren wasteland ofContinue reading “Long Live The Queen Of Rock”
