Capitalism in America has created social conditions that ills the land. Capitalism in America needs regulation and rethinking. Why does America, the world’s richest country, fare poorly on the “happiness index” whereas the democratic socialist Scandinavians consistently dominate the top five and all four of the Nordic countries rank in the top ten, according to …
Lately we’ve seen this term in every article, think piece, blog, Tweet, podcast, and broadcast. Books are using it in their titles, and it’s being printed on everything from socks to t-shirts. It’s even been co-opted by advertising, to sell products for corporations. But what exactly is a “Badass Woman”? There is no universal, objective definition of …
Trump is really Putin us in danger with this shut down. But we shouldn’t be Russian to any conclusions about Trump’s real motivations. Anyone check the national debt lately? How is our border security now Donny? Do you think China is doubling the usual traffic Fentanyl traffic through our ports, or just like ramming through …
So this is what Mueller is doing and I mentioned it before. He is strangling a mob boss. But the challenge is that the boss is protected if he has enough of the mob of human miscrients on his side. Once Trump loses MAGA and even the Covington Nazi Youth realizes he’s just a stupid …
Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was a leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. He would have turned 90 years ago the other day had he not been assassinated. A Baptist minister, Dr. King championed nonviolence and civil disobedience as means to make society welcome …
You have to hand it to Vladamir Putin. He is the greatest Bond villain of our life times. Somewhere the real James Bond and Jack Ryan are as dead as Lincoln’s party, now a Confederated Zombie orgy of shameless stupidity. This my friends is MAGA. Russia is still screwed, because it is Russia, but for …
The most gangster move by The GOP was using social media ad buys, bots, and trolls to dupe the Left into attacking the Left. The most mobster thing of all is who they teamed up with. The most demonic thing about this new found power to manipulate the masses is that never before have we …
Growing up in God’s Country The first memory I have of Third Ward Elementary School is the sound of my father shooting his rifle. I had moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania just before I began Kindergarten. I went to Third Ward one summer night for the first time with my Dad. He was a marksman and …
dma Trump is not a negotiator. He is the nut case that is taking hostages. Watching his surviving supporters lower themselves out to the whorish depths of Stockholm Syndrome, as they try to explain Trump’s brilliant tactics is just a type of mental sickness cognitive dissonance can reliably provide. Oh I know I am stigmatizing …
You want a true story? How about a true story about how I dealt with Westboro Baptist Church today at the game? Take note. Because I unleashed mental Jazz on those evil muthaf☆ckaz. Ever since I saw the meme of ‘Satan’ offering free hugs next to them, my wheels have been turning. Because you have …
This is why the human race is dumb. How many people do you know don’t think about who made these political memes, why they made them, and who paid for them to be in front of us as particular individuals? We are not a smart species. So bravo, yes we overachieved. We invented social media. …
Facebook was suspending people for so called Community standards, while letting Russia destroy the fabric of our communities and our Republic. Al Franken brought this up, asking how many of these ads were purchased with Rubles and why the hell FB didn’t flinch, let alone sound the alarms. The next day Al was cooked with …
Last week I vacationed alone in Utah, visiting, hiking, and taking pictures at two national parks – Zion and Bryce. Simply put, awesome!! Bryce is known for its odd rock formations called “hoo doos.*” The parks lacked the usual throngs of tourists that naturally visit when the kids are not in school, which enabled me …
I want to better understand where free speech begins, ends, lives, and ultimately dies. There are billions of people on this website, and some people go to jail and get shot on bridges for what you and I have said on here without giving this a second thought. Yet if our political climate shifts, or …

If You’re Gonna Ride Your Trojan Horse to the Party and Pack the Champagne, by Davin Michael Stedman
Trump did fire his attorney general Jeff Session in yet another attempt to cover up an obstruction of justice probe that is most legally viable way to hold our President accountable for Treason. It’s called a Trump-Russia probe because we witnessed a Coup and millions of calculated attacks on America and Americans using Facebook as …
If you can legalize the sale of military-grade weapons to the public after finally having the sense to ban them, it should be no surprise that a career criminal/TV celebrity/rapist as president is around the corner. I guess we’ll have “The Purge” next, or ban birth control (again) AND abortion (again). Allow the military to …
Nine Inch Nails (NIN) has been recording industrial and rock music for nearly 30 years.

Certain people made a deal with the Devil, and the Devil came to Pittsburgh. You see we can all pull up the articles where certain Right Wing conservative business leaders said they didn’t like what Trump was saying, but they like what he is DOING. These of course were very wealthy contributors to his campaign, …
What did you think was going to happen when you elected a White Supremacist president? Did you think his biggest fans weren’t going to be emboldened to shoot up synagogues, send politicians bombs, and slash throats on Portland trains. I am even more concerned how much support Trump has from law enforcement. Because White Supremacy …
The lessons after threats drive a black legislator to quit BENNINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Voters in this very liberal, very white state made Kiah Morris a pioneer when in 2014 they elected her as its first black female legislator. Two years later, another Vermont surfaced: racist threats that eventually forced her to leave office in …
During the entire feverish national walking Zombie nightmare that was Kavanaugh’s inevitable Supreme Court nomination, I heard one phrophetic song on loop. I heard Wu Tang Clan’s ‘C.R.E.A.M.’ Cash does rule everything around me. The Billionaires have the money. Dollar dollar bill yall. The Confirmation was over before it started. The votes were already counted …
Donald Trump proved that in America, if you have enough money and absolutely no decency, there is no Rock Bottom. Mark Zuckerberg reflects that as well. Real decency is not just about four letter words and nip slips. It more about tearing your country apart for what amounts to loose change in a vast social …
You are paying rent for your own body, to experience indifference… – DMS Correct me if I am wrong but back in the Reagan era, when people shouted at homeless people to get a job, what that person was truly saying was that they should get an entry level position and pay rent. But many …
A dear friend of mine made a heart felt post asking what he could do to be a better ally to women after Kavanaugh became a lock as Supreme Court justice today. It’s an important question, but so is this f☆cking question, …Because I want to be an ally, but a majority of White Women …
This is what happens when you don’t vote. This is what happens when you say both candidates are the exact same. You lose THE SUPREME COURT. For most probably the rest of your lives. Oh you thought you won Gay marriage and the fight about those bathrooms. You just lost abortion. …and you are as …

Would 53% of White women still vote for Trump after the Kavanaugh hearings? I am afraid to know the answer. Why? Because 53% of White women voted for Trump after hearing the Pussy grabbing tape and learning much worse. I can pretend like the Christian conservative women who sat next to me on all these …
It happened. Our very own genuine American buffoon stood before the world’s leaders doing his same routine that our American village idiots and quasi Christians eat up like old tainted seafood at a mid western buffet. And the leaders of the world just laughed. As they should. It’s comedy. The joke is on us. When …
