FRIDAY’S CHEVRON RULING: THE SUPREME COURT’S GIFT TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Lost in the backwash of insanity over last Friday’s SCOTUS Chevron ruling is a simple truth: it just got a thousand times easier to replace American workers with immigrants. This should surprise no one. I’ve got a riddle for you: One of the biggest employers of undocumented immigrants in Texas – a man who’s made billions over decades hiring non-citizens instead of American workers – gives…
BY EXECUTIVE ORDER
BY EXECUTIVE ORDER I decree I can force the media to cover up the drug use of a Supreme Court Justice of the United States and he or she can make decisions about people’s lives while they’re high as a kite and it isn’t a crime because I say it isn’t. You can’t stop me anymore. BY EXECUTIVE ORDER I decree I can sell Yosemite to Russia in exchange for prime acreage by the Black Sea for my next…

This Just In: Your Government Can No Longer Protect You from Breast Cancer
It's harsh but I believe the truth must be spoken.
The ultimate price of a corrupted government arrived on Friday: the Supreme Court decrees your government no longer has the right to protect you from breast cancer. From now on, you’re on your own. Supreme Court strikes down Chevron, curtailing power of federal agencies Thanks to judges on the take that bottled water you’re drinking can cause you lumps and your government can’t do a damn thing…

QUESTIONS I WOULD HAVE FOR ANY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
     I wrote this last election cycle and edited it a bit. First of all, both Mr. Presidents, will you swear right here and now that if you are elected you will uphold and defend the Constitution as you will be swearing to God to do? Traditionally information collected by our intelligence agencies could be used for one purpose and one purpose only: the protection of national security. We seemed…

On Watching the Democratic Party Walk Donald Trump Back into the White House, Part One
Every time I think the Democratic Party can’t show more contempt for the working people of this country, they do. A perfect example is a recent decision by Arizona governor Katie Hobbs to take back the Social Security cost-of-living increase from thousands of retired Arizonans. It’s not bad enough that the Democratic Party has lied and lied and lied about inflation for the past three years,…

SAYS THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, I SHALL MOCK GOD...
Says the State of Louisiana, I shall mock God… I shall mock God by placing a copy of the Ten Commandments in every school in a state legendary for its corruption, bribery, extortion, so that all may see how we laugh at God’s requirements of justice and truth. I shall mock God by placing His Word where the Black first-grader who had nothing for breakfast can see it and know the state mocks…

The DNC, The Mainstream Media, and the Train Wreck
I wrote this in March 2017, after the election of the latest DNC chair. Funny how little has changed. The DNC, The Mainstream Media, and the Train Wreck I watched the election of the new DNC chair a few weeks ago, cringing the way you do when you see the train bearing down on the car stuck on the tracks but can’t do anything to stop it. When I finally took my hands away from my eyes I winced…

THE ECONOMY AS A MYTHICAL FIGURE
After the economic crash of 2008 South Park ran an episode I found particularly hilarious. It involved the various denizens of the town treating the economy as if it was some remote and peevish god who, in a fit of petulance, smote the people for some imagined transgression. The episode was funny for the same reason anything succeeds in being funny: it was basically the truth. Three thousand…

Memorial Day
Note: I wrote this twenty years or so ago. Today is Memorial Day. Today I’ll wake up my son and explain to him that today is a day we honor those who have given their lives for this country. He’ll notice a lot of barbecues and flags and solemn ceremonies on TV. He’ll probably think the shiny medals on the uniforms of those shown are neat. He’s three. When he’s older I’ll explain to him that the…

TELL TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER TO STOP ITS PLAN TO HARM HUNDREDS OF ELDERLY AND DISABLED TUCSONANS
Please fight for these people. Thank you!
Please check on your elderly and disabled neighbors during the next several weeks, as many of them are about to have their power disconnected by Tucson Electric Power and are likely to experience potentially life-threatening health issues. Tucson Electric Power is sending out disconnect notices that give the elderly and disabled only seven days to come up with hundreds of dollars or have their…

Epiphanies From Trumpland, Conclusion: Why Donald Trump?
Epiphanies From Trumpland, Conclusion: Why Donald Trump?
As I said in my last blog, I know the election’s over. President Trump lost. But the people who supported him and elected him – and who I spent the summer trying to understand – aren’t going anywhere. There is a scene in 1776 (one of my favorite films) in which Ben Franklin explodes into exasperation at John Adams’ derision for a bloc of fellow congressmen opposing his ideas: like it or not,…

EPIPHANIES FROM TRUMPLAND PART TWO: ALL THE RAGE
EPIPHANIES FROM TRUMPLAND PART TWO: ALL THEÂ RAGE
I know the election is over. But while President Trump may have been voted out, his supporters aren’t going anywhere. They comprise a huge part of this nation’s voting citizenry, and they’re going to have a voice in decision-making for the foreseeable future. And thus I think understanding them – especially their anger – is important. For everyone. During the recent election season there was…

EPIPHANIES FROM TRUMPLAND PART ONE: WHY THE BIBLE BELT, APPALACHIA, THE ROCKIES AND THE RUST BELT ARE SOÂ ANGRY
So as I finished explaining in my last blog, I ended September one step from being a complete madwoman. An experiment I’d begun in trying understand and empathize with Trump supporters went so tragically awry I was practically foaming at the mouth at them.Â
But then after it was over – after I woke up like someone waking from a summer-long bender – I began to remember.
I spent the 2016…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
If you’re breathing, be thankful.
If you have turkey, be thankful.
If you can see, and hear, and smell and taste and touch, be thankful.
If you love anyone – anyone at all – be thankful.
If anyone loves you – anyone at all – be thankful.
As to everything else? Everything that’s broken or messed up and that you can’t be grateful for, that you want to change?
Be grateful that you…

My Adventures in Trumpland, or How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Intro
This is a blog about how I managed to go completely bats&^t crazy during the recent election season (alienating a huge number of people I actually like in the process), how I recovered (I think/hope) my sanity, and what I did or didn’t learn from the experience. NOTE: if you’re expecting a big wet sloppy kiss for any faction of modern politics, you’re going to be REALLY disappointed. …
