Currently, all eyes in the sports world are on Augusta, Georgia for the Super Bowl of golf, The Masters. For the first time in the history of the tournament, the 3 top-ranked players in the world are tied for first place going into the weekend, and big names like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickleson are in the hunt. It will be nice for Georgia to get some press outside of politics for 2 more days, and that...
Though it appears that Donald Trump will become one of only five incumbent presidents to lose their re- election bid, with the last being H.W. Bush against a sax-wielding Bill Clinton in 1992, many prominent Congresswomen and men retained their seats. This article will take a look at The Squad’s (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Presley, & Rashida Tlaib) four successful re-election bids and why they are important, as well as the victories of Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell....
Every year, the U.S. Supreme Court (or SCOTUS, which seems to be the trendiest of terms right now) is asked to review approximately 7,000 cases. They generally accept between 100 and 150 of those cases. The late Ruth Bader Ginsburg served on the court for 27 years before her passing, and she reviewed more than 3,000 cases during her tenure in the Supreme Court. The newly appointed Amy Coney Barrett is 12 years younger (48) than Ginsburg was at...
She’s that racist lunatic who told LeBron James, who self-funds a school to prepare disadvantaged youth for college… and then pays for their college to, “Shut up and dribble” when he disagreed with her great white political stances. But enough about that rat-faced she-knave… here’s why the NBA is upsetting her right now: Believe it or not, the day of publication of this article marks the 7-month mark since the NBA shut down due to...
The list is of deported veterans is very long, and it was not created by a situation where there was a momentary lapse in legislation that caused a large, one-time deportation… it’s been going on for decades. How/Why Did They Serve in the First Place? A common question is “Can non-citizens even serve in the military?” and, not only is the answer “yes,” but it has also been a focal point of recruitment for military...
If kids in cages don’t upset you enough to denounce ICE, maybe three decades of deported soldiers, sailors, Air Force personnel, and Marines will help. A couple of years ago I was drinking a beer in a bar in Guadalajara, Mexico called The Bone House, because I am a child and the name made me laugh. I was alone, and my Spanish was good enough to be respectful to the staff, but not good enough...
Hush Money It has been more than 187 days since Breonna Taylor was killed by police officers while unarmed in her own bed. None of the officers involved have been found guilty of misconduct in a court of law. It has been more than 1,532 days since Philando Castile was shot at point blank range, on camera, in front of his family by a police officer. Castile died and the officer involved has not been...
There aren’t too many amendments in the Constitution about limiting voter fraud (actually none… there are none), but there are a some (see 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th) regarding Americans’ right to vote that were earned in blood. With this in mind, what’s left of my patriotism has to bet hard on disenfranchisement being a much more anti-American practice than fraud, which is as popular in white-collar America as cocaine and business retreats full of...
There was supposed to be Game 5 of the first-round playoff series featuring the Milwaukee Bucks and the Orlando Magic on Wednesday August 26. The problem was one team didn’t show up on the court as tip-off was approaching. The Bucks players decided they could not play an NBA game considering what is going in their communities outside of the Orlando bubble. Bucks guard Sterling Brown was a victim of police brutality two years ago...
2020 sucks, no doubt. And most of the suckery could have certainly been kept at bay if Donald Trump wasn’t an inexperienced buffoon. But to blame him for the entirety of the economic and health tribulations that happened due to a random deadly virus seems a bit unfair to me (calling him a racist turd, however, not unfair). What we can blame him for, is adding to the unavoidable dumpster fire by taking aim at...
