Trump Wrestling Federation!
The following program is a parody. Any resemblance of characters contained below is purely intentional humor. As the camera pans over the crowd — which is yuuuge and going wild, it eventually settles on the ring. Standard wrestling ring but with red, white, and blue ropes and turnbuckle pads. One Donald J. Trump stands in center ring, holding a microphone,… Read more »
Treating Traitors and Collaborators Harshly
It is built into us. Without delving too much into politics, there has been a hell of a blow-back lately on many popular figures and their supporters on both sides of the aisle, typically coming from people on that same side. On the right this dust-up has been mostly centered around the term “cuckservative” — the people using it are… Read more »
Blaming Hillary for Bill
Another Point of View Over the last several weeks Donald Trump has been slamming Hillary with Bill’s previous misdeeds regarding women.

That’s no way to improve. So here is my last… Read more »

Another Open Letter
Some New Shit Dear Politically Aware Active Fellow Americans, The new hotness is apparently painting all Trump supporters with a brush dipped in the content of internet trolls, and then expecting us to disavow what some random internet troll says. Cathy Young has basically written a clinic on this by taking some anti-Semitic comments and using a broad brush to… Read more »
Trump’s Running Mate
Slow Down! I’ve already seen quite a few articles about Trump’s running mate, and who it should or could be. Calm yourself. There’s no need for Trump to make a pick yet. At this point he should be vetting a great swath of people — the ultimate choice needs to be based on what his strengths and weaknesses are as… Read more »
