I’ve said this before and apparently it’s necessary to keep repeating it: Ben Carson may be a brilliant man–a doctor, a neurosurgeon!–but when it comes to matters of domestic and foreign policy, he’s a certified idiot. As evidence of my thesis, I present Dr. Carson’s appearance on “Face the Nation” and “This Week.” Carson, who […]
The hawks on the right love to claim that the invasion of Iraq during the George W. Bush Administration was a good thing for Iraq, the United States, and the long-term security of the Middle East, even though it has been proven time and time again to be a bigger myth than unicorns. Now the […]

And yet when the shootings which left […]
Donald Trump, we can now say with great assurance, is a liar, a demagogue, and a massive dillhole. Just this week, we have heard the GOP frontrunner double and triple down on comments regarding how he saw Muslims in New Jersey celebrating when the World Trade Center was struck by two commercial airliners on September […]
Thank you all for your support of my blog site. Hope each of you–and your families and friends–have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Talat Hamadi lost her son on September 11, 2001, and she has a powerful message for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump: Get the hell out of America. In direct response to recent comments made by Trump regarding Muslims and Syrian refugees, Hamadi told MSNBC: “You know, he himself came, his grandparents, came from Germany, Donald Trump’s. […]
