How battered will I be? In the midst of Black Lives Matter and surging protests against militarized police departments and racial profiling, how insensitive will I be characterized? Will I be vilified for being racist, because although the narrative of this post is dedicated to electability and pragmatic election strategy, it addresses black candidates in its premise. Or, more importantly, the necessity of avoiding progressive black candidates, at least in Southern elections. Yet I must, must protest the fallacy of Democrats running, supporting, and encouraging “Progressive” black candidates in Southern States. In their hubris and ignorance, they sabotage the very reforms we need. I supported Stacey Abrams. I voted for Andrew Gillum. But in whatever context you want to position the results, they lost. If held again today, the results would be the same. Probably in the same manner, through voter suppression with a tall side order of bigotry and ...

I read. Probably not enough. I research. Sometimes too little. And I observe. Most definitely too much. I can suffer from paralysis of analysis and internal bias. But I do try to understand before I take any action. I do not hold my retorts for the convenient headline or propagandized thumbnail clickbait highlighted at the top of news articles. I actually read more than one or two paragraphs of the article, story or book before I reply. Could be a reason I have been asked my opinion on the current issues at hand. So here’s the thing.
     I disagree with the self-righteous, chest thumping condemnations my friends on the left have for the defenders of Second Place against his impeachment. True, I believe he has abused the powers of his office since the day he was elected. I find Second Place contemptible, despicable and a real time threat to ...

How ludicrous. How two dimensional. How ridiculous. Recent reports have given sway to Second-places arguments for re-election. He plans to be both the victim and the hero. Good Goddess, when will the insanity end? Worst of all, many people in the political arena think it will resonate and work with independents and those he needs to gain an Electoral College victory again. Yes, Electoral College victory, because his handlers are quite sure he will never win the general vote. Their pitch is that he has been harassed on all sides. That he has never been able to implement his plan because Washington insiders, the Deep State, and the liberal Democrats have all conspired to keep him from succeeding. That all of these people have thwarted his moves through the Muller investigation, liberal courts, and Fake News in order to make him look bad and keep his power. But, ‘Our Hero’ ...

It’s been a bit since I last wrote about politics and the happenings in the world. I mean what is there to say? Second-place is a looming buffoon. McConnell believes he has it all under control and he hasn’t. The Republicans have shown they have no backbone and the Democratic House is in danger of backlash because they won’t do what the people want, impeach.     Is there any light of day? Any wise words to unite the country again, getting us to move forward? Any way we can recover our status in the world, let alone our self-respect? I have no words of comfort for you. I wish I did. But doing so would be blowing smoke up your bum. Who needs more confusion and lies than we already have?     What we have is a lot of work to do. For better or worse, mostly worse, Second-place has done one ...

I have watched the parade of atrocities, missteps, and unbelievable decisions that have engulfed the Trump administration these last several months. Indeed, the daily barrage of ignorance, miscalculation, and just plain stupidity have been born out across the media and social networks in such numbers to have numbed the observer to any new egregious outbursts. Basically, we are just plain tired of the circus and want to go home. But the ticket has been bought and the seat taken. Unless some miracle happens, such as the clowns refusing to participate anymore in these sad acts, or even the fire marshal shutting it down, we are doomed to watch it unfold for another 31 months. Fortunately, an intermission appears in 5 months and we may be able to save ourselves from this interminably bad production. Until then, what do we make of this buffoon and his presidency? Why does his right-wing ...
