Meet The New Boss, Worst Than The Odd Boss: Christian Extremists Are Getting A Whole Lot Worse

I’m not the least bit surprised that Donald Trump had a meeting with Nick Fuentes even though the twice impeached former President is denying it. Fuentes, only 24, is the new face of Conservative Christian extremism along with Jonathan Shelley, the so-called pastor of Stedfast Baptist Church of Watauga, Texas. Fuentes has been spewing thisContinue reading “Meet The New Boss, Worst Than The Odd Boss: Christian Extremists Are Getting A Whole Lot Worse”

Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’

I remember the commercial and the controversy. PepsiCo was running a promotion to get people to buy more products, they could collect points to send in for merchandise with Pepsi logos. The idea that people would want to wear a Pepsi jacket or sunglasses didn’t appeal to me but maybe it would to some otherContinue reading “Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’”

Prejudice Is Like An Tree; It Always Grows From Something Smaller

I personally don’t care about this beef between Candace Cameron Bure and JoJo Siwa. I personally think that Candace might be somewhat of a bitch and JoJo might be blowing it all out of proportion. But if it’s making more people call Candace out for her history, or more importantly her brother’s bigotry, then soContinue reading “Prejudice Is Like An Tree; It Always Grows From Something Smaller”

Stand Your Ground At Center Of ‘Brittany Smith’ Documentary

I’ve never liked the Stand Your Ground law. There’s so much grey area and a little bit of the green era as in those who have money usually get away with it. The same people who defend Kyle Rittenhouse for traveling across state lines would probably also criticize the real-life victim at the center ofContinue reading “Stand Your Ground At Center Of ‘Brittany Smith’ Documentary”

Trump, Walker Put Republican Party At Crucial Crossroads

About 20 years ago, I received my weekly subscription copy of Entertainment Weekly and Michael Jackson was on the cover with his rhinestone white glove and the similar dance pose he did. In 2002, Jackson was already losing a lot of his popularity. He wasn’t reading the environment that it had been a while andContinue reading “Trump, Walker Put Republican Party At Crucial Crossroads”

Let’s Keep The Red Wave Lost At Sea

While the races in Texas, Florida, Ohio and Georgia didn’t go the way most Democrats wanted, it could’ve have gone a lot worse nationwide. Kari Lake, a big supporter of The Big Lie, ia losing to Katie Hobbs to be governor of Arizona. John Fetterman beat out Dr. Mehmet Oz to be Senator of Pennsylvania.Continue reading “Let’s Keep The Red Wave Lost At Sea”

The Best Batman Movie You May Not Have Heard About

As a Batman fan, I was sadden to hear of the passing of Kevin Conroy due to intestinal cancer on Nov. 10. As an openly gay man, he appeared in many movies and TV shows throughout his life. But in 1992, he was tapped to voice Bruce Wayne/Batman in the landmark Batman: The Animated SeriesContinue reading “The Best Batman Movie You May Not Have Heard About”

The Last Act Of A Desperate Political Party

The Republican Party is dying. It’s on its last leg and slouches like that rough beast William Butler Yeats talked about. It didn’t have to be this way. The Republican Party was the Party of Lincoln. It no longer can say that. It’s so far removed from Lincoln or Dwight Eisenhower or even Teddy RoosleveltContinue reading “The Last Act Of A Desperate Political Party”

‘God Forbid’ Focuses On Unbelievable Sex Scandal

One of the most landmark First Amendment cases took place in the 1980s when Jerry Falwell sued Hustler and publisher Larry Flynt over a fake Campari ad in which he talked about his first time having sex with his mother in an outhouse. It was so absurd that no one could believe it as aContinue reading “‘God Forbid’ Focuses On Unbelievable Sex Scandal”
