In early February, Walter Lay was shot to death in a Tampa-area dog park by Gerald Declan Radford, who goes by the nickname “Dec”. The men started out on decent terms and were part of a group of acquaintances that socialized daily while walking their pets. It was a source of joy and created a budding sense of community in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, the comity didn’t survive our state’s bitter polarization. The bonds forged between neighbors began to fray along political lines. Lay’s best friend, Will Meyer, said that differences about how to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic led the group ..read more

Trump is Expecting to Lose and Conditioning His Followers for a Potential Bloodbath

A Blue Wave Could Materialize with Radicalized GOP Repulsing Voters (Read on my Substack) Donald Trump is correct that a “bloodbath” is coming—but the carnage in question will likely be his radical campaign. I’m beginning to think, counterintuitively, that Donald Trump will suffer the biggest electoral slaughter since 1964, when President Lyndon Johnson crushed Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater 61.1% to 38.5%, with LBJ winning 44 states. Goldwater only won his home state and the former Confederate bastions of South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. In our polarized nation ..read more

The January 6 Coup Never Ended and Won’t Until Trump is Defeated

Primitive MAGA Movement is a Civilizational Threat at War with the Enlightenment Itself It’s painfully clear that the failed January 6 insurrection was only the beginning of MAGA’s efforts to overthrow our government. They are engaged in a multi-front war to disfigure our democracy, destabilize our institutions, and remake America in their diseased image. It’s not difficult to imagine, one year from today, watching Trump, on a gilded balcony, presiding triumphantly over a Pennsylvania Avenue military parade, while waving to the crowd like an all-powerful dictator. The guests of honor might be ..read more

Tucker Carlson’s Love Affair with Moscow is Fueled by His Dream of an Authoritarian White Supremacist State

Carlson’s Crude Propaganda Betrays our Values and Undermines National Security There are members of the Republican Party, such as Donald Trump, one suspects of being compromised by Russian kompromat. Former FOX News windbag Tucker Carlson isn’t one of them. The unconstrained gusto and glee in which he promotes Putin’s police state emanates from a place of fealty, not fear. While others may be useful idiots or blackmailed assets, Carlson is a giddy, full-fledged comrade in arms. One gets the sense that Carlson is using Putin to further his historical revisionism as much as the dictator is usin ..read more

If Trump is the GOP’s Nominee Biden’s Age Is Irrelevant

If you are still unable to see who is more fit to serve, you clearly ought to have your memory checked Democrats should stop handwringing about President Joe Biden’s age. Yes, at 81, he’s too old for the most stressful job in the world. However, his likely opponent is Donald Trump, a morbidly obese, largely incoherent 77-year-old crank. Republicans trying to use Biden’s maturity against him is like the Egyptian pyramids complaining about the wear and tear of Stonehenge. If Democrats are remotely competent, the age issue should be a wash. They can create endless ads highlighting Trump’s “Geeze ..read more

If We Allow the Destruction of this Couple, Democracy Could be Next Right wing delirium over pop legend Taylor Swift’s relationship with football star Travis Kelce, has completed the Republican Party’s transition into a sanitarium. It’s a full-fledged funny farm where whackos compete with weirdos to see who can gin up the most outlandish Q-Anon conspiracy theories to please Emperor Orange. In their twisted tale, MAGA luminaries claim, without evidence, that Swift and Kelce are a fake couple, craftily matched by the Deep State, to maximize the impact of their presumed future Joe Biden endorseme ..read more

Potential Border Standoff Highlights Republican Threat to America’s Stability  From the moment Joe Biden vanquished Donald Trump, opportunistic Republicans have breathlessly howled that the border is a national emergency. Yet, when a solution was at hand this week, House Republicans gave it a backhand and swatted it away at the behest of their presumed presidential nominee Donald Trump. CNN reported today that House Speaker Mike Johnson released a letter warning that an emerging Senate deal to address the border, in exchange for $106 billion in military assistance for Israel, Ukraine and ..read more

New York Times Story Shows Wicked Intentions of Anti-DEI Warriors   A blockbuster New York Times article revealed the rank bigotry and backward fundamentalist  worldview secretly behind efforts to eliminate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts at universities. A cabal of right-wing activists, think tanks, donors and Republican politicians are colluding to distort the debate, lie about opponents’ motives and conceal their true noxious beliefs to advance their ignoble crusade.
