The first thing I did at the beginning of the midterm election cycle in July was understand that all mainstream outlets were blind to anything counter to the narrative of a ‘Red Wave’. I looked for new sources for creditable insights. I have provided thoughtful reflections and hope when so many seemed pessimistic. I appreciateContinue reading “It’s Wasn’t A ‘Red Wave’ But It Still Ain’t Over! There are Years Of Recovery Work Ahead”

As we move closer to the November 8 midterm election day the Republicans and the mainstream media keep telling us that Americans are upset because of rising prices. They keep telling us rising crime is also an issue. If Republicans win control of the House they will spend their time impeaching everyone, though no oneContinue reading “Republicans Love to Lie and People Love to Believe Them”

I recently had a discussion with an ‘Influencer’ in his 40’s. I am in my late 60’s. It was a friendly and respectful discussion. Back in the 60’s and 70’s the civil rights era was fully engaged. Don’t get me wrong, there had been creditable movements dating back to before the ‘Emancipation Proclamation’. when ReconstructionContinue reading “When It Comes to the Reality of Present Day Politics Some Black Folks are Confused.

While the cable news outlets of MAGA-world try frame a ruling by a DJT appointed Federal Judge, with little experience, as victory for the manic former twice -impeached President, New Polling suggests that regular voting Americans are concerned about the survivability of democracy. At least at this point it is a greater concern than inflation,Continue reading “When Is A Perceived Win Not A Win? When The Walls Are Closing In”

I find it amusing that people warn calling out White Supremist Religious Nationalists. These MAGA-Heads believe that only they should have the privilege to govern and vote,. Manty feel that they will turn violent if we speak the truth about who they are. However, the facts show that every since Columbus mistakenly landed in theContinue reading “Worried That Calling Out Violent MAGA-Heads Will Cause Them To Use Violence? They Turn to Violence and Threats Even When You Don’t Call Them Out.”

I came across this little nugget that reminded me of a couple of reports I heard last year.. Now I get it. Most of the MAGA-world hasn’t won’t digest this for awhile. Many in the mainstream media are alluding to it, but they are looking for more proof before they say anything out loud. SoContinue reading “Oh Shit!

When you’re a ‘Baby Boomer’ and you remember the ‘Civil Rights Era’, you should be familiar with the ‘COINTELPRO’, counterintelligence program conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from 1956 to 1971 to discredit and neutralize organizations considered subversive to U.S. political stability. It was covert and often used extralegal means to criminalize various forms of politicalContinue reading “It’s Hard to Be Upset About the Threat to FBI Agents From Right Wing MAGA Thugs”

I decided to remain quiet about the DOJ. I wasn’t going to echo the noises of Progressive cable news talking heads, Foxnonsense talking heads, or reactionary GOP politicians. There are multiple investigations into DJT who has a habit of committing crimes in broad day light, loudly intimidating his sycophants. then daring the criminal justice systemContinue reading “You Cannot Trust Anything Any MAGA World Person Says or Does”

This nation began on the foundation of religious fascism. I am not talking about the formal declaration of separation from Britain. I am talking about. the original settlers. I am talking about those religious purists who deemed the inhumane burning of those who observed any belief other than their concept of christianity as witches andContinue reading “Is It Too Late for the Nation to Stop the Racist Christian Nationalism Movement?”

In 2008 when BHO was running for President, a Conservative White Plumber from Ohio, named ‘Joe’ approached him and raised the prospect that his policies would lead to a ‘Transfer of Wealth from the Middle Class’.. The media and unsure White voters seized on this comment, as did the McCain/Palin campaign in an effort toContinue reading “You Gotta Understand Who Really Screwed You.
