A Little Story About the Hypocrisy of Trump Supporters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A neighbor of mine living in the vicinity of a multi-unit community where I own a condo and happen to be selling right now just got arrested on drug charges. In a separate scenario, I got “handcuffed” in a South Bronx supermarket because of the unique meaning of the price that I paid for groceries that day (to be explained later in this post).Was I really arrested? I’ll answer that later, but what I will tell you is, my neighbor definitely was. Two patrol cars, four Wildwood cops. One pair frisk
Why Are Chief Justice John Roberts and High Court Conservatives Content to Destroy the America We Once Knew? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes I reflect on the record and wonder whether Chief Justice John Roberts regrets any part of what he has wrought. As the country that was the beacon of light to free peoples around the world fades into a barely illuminated horizon replaced by the start of a new era of Fascist America, only those who do not fully appreciate the beauty of what we had are not profoundly disappointed.And make no mistake, we are in the early stages of full-fledged autocracy, a point that I saw Democracy Docket
Delayed ‘Unity Rising’ Pilot Podcast to Debut After Labor Day, but First We Need to Talk about America’s $40 Trillion Dollar Black Hole (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes the best laid plans go awry.Little did I know I’d end up in handcuffs trying to shoot a skit for a podcast in the South Bronx. We had selected an area of #NewYorkCity about a mile and a half from Yankee Stadium, which at least historically has been considered crime ridden; it just never occurred to me that on that day, I’d discover what it’s like to be considered part of the problem. However, I had no interest in hearing about the right to remain silent. (More on that in just a bit).Wh
Oops! Elon Musk Did It Again, Proving Riches Don’t Equate to Good Judgment or Empathy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Elon Musk did it again, sticking his trillion-dollar feet in between his “wisdom” teeth. This time, he said that he thinks Minneapolis’ cruel ex-cop murderer #DerekChauvin, the officer who spent nine minutes pressing his knee onto the neck of George Floyd, a desperate 46-year-old black man trying to breathe, should be freed. The day that happened, May 25, 2020, no amount of pleading with the now convicted murderer from a crowd of bystanders, one of whom filmed the entire thing, was able to elici
99 Pct Chance McConnell is Brain Dead or Has Actually Passed and We're Being Deceived (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve written and posted a bit about this a few times and nothing has changed. Nearly two months after Mitch McConnell was reported to have sustained a heart attack and was taken to a Washington area hospital, there is no video or live record of anyone who has spoken to him all this time. McConnell’s own state Governor in Kentucky, Andy Beshear, publicly called on him to connect directly or do a video interview with the press to prove he is functional and able to handle the responsibilities of hi
