  • It’s time to investigate MSNBC for possible racism

    It’s time to investigate MSNBC for possible racism

    Although it is a subsidiary of a subsidiary, MSNBC is ultimately a publicly traded company. And publicly traded or not, racism is a very serious charge… and Rachel Maddow made just that charge regarding the firing of Joy Reid. If I were in ...

    Finding something nice to say

    I recently watched a podcast where Ben Shapiro was asked to say two things he liked about Kamala Harris. He said that he liked that she ran a campaign that wasn’t fully centered on race… then he struggled, and ultimately failed to com...

  • Ask not how Trump will drain the swamp, ask how you can help!

    Ask not how Trump will drain the swamp, ask how you can help!

    Now that President Trump will be our next president, now is not the time to be an armchair quarterback, now is the time to jump into the game!  How? Easy, go take a class at the local state-funded college or university.  Make it a gender...

    Tim Walz is as useless as a tampon in the men’s room

    Tim Walz might as well have shown up to the debate wearing a stolen dress with lipstick smeared all over his teeth.  It was embarrassing to watch. The man looked like Don Rickles’s unfortunate little brother (”Mommy, Don is b...

    Making sense out of nonsense

    As the MSM try to memory-hole Tim Walz’s personal story of stolen valor and communist policies, there are many opinion pieces saying they won’t get away with it.   I’m sorry to break it to the authors of these articles,...

    The government’s Epstein problem

    I’m not going to rehash the details surrounding the Epstein … thing, because I don’t have any.  Nobody seems to.  And what details we do know make absolutely no sense whatsoever.  The official story sounds like...

    Wokeness is weakness

    Business is war.  Don’t believe me?  Then ask Ray Kroc.  Ray was the kind of businessman that if he saw his competitors drowning, he would grab a hose and finish the job. Ray Kroc used the weakness of the McDonald brothers to ...

  • Time to stop using the 'T' word, because they aren’t women.

    June 2, 2024

    Time to stop using the 'T' word, because they aren’t women.

    The media, including even the right wing media, uses the “t” word.  You know which word.  The one Pontiac used in their car names. It's time to stop. There are “men,” and there are “women,” that’s it.  Any medical procedure or style of clothing...

    The new Mandela effect… or maybe the Martha Stewart effect?

    A Manhattan jury handed President Trump the black vote on Thursday.  All he has to do to keep it is not become a jailhouse snitch. Orange really is the new black, just ask Martha Stewart.  Her street cred shot through the roof after she ...

    Illinois charts bold new paths in Newspeak

    The Great State of Illinois has just done conservatives the biggest favor since they put Jimmy Carter in the White House!  It’s brilliant! What are Illinois Democrats doing that is so awesome?  They just replaced the word...

    Why are conservatives so committed to a dead system?

    America, I’ve got some bad news for you.  You might want to sit down. Your public education system is dead. It’s not dying; it kicked the bucket...some time ago (judging by the stench). You are sending your children int...

    How to reach the youth market, and it really is so much simpler (and cheaper) than going woke

    One of the reasons corporate America is going woke, is that they are desperately struggling to reach the next generation of consumers. The companies are trying to tell the kids that they get them.  They see that LGBTQ is trendy… so the...

    Piffle light … keepin' the logic fluffy and the spin immoral at CNN

    Watching CNN is a bit like watching someone who locked their keys in a convertible … with the top down … except that it’s less watchable and not nearly as fun or funny outside of the irony of the “most trusted name in news...

    Here’s what ‘white rage’ in the heartland really looks like

    I’ve got news for Rachel Maddow, Joe and Mika, and Joyless Reid: local Republican committees in flyover America are the most boring places on Earth.  There’s no rage, no plotting, no racism, homophobia, anything.  You ...

    Too frail to fail, too old to hold? Don’t believe it.

    Do you remember the episodes of the Sopranos where Uncle Junior faked dementia to avoid prosecution? I do. As someone who had two parents with senile dementia listed as cause of death, I’ll say that Joe’s dementia is remarkably cons...

    A guide to conservative passive-aggressive resistance

    Last year, I had to go to an IRS office.  I was subjected to a humiliating pat down for weapons.  It was uncomfortable, invasive, and intimidating. The guard wouldn’t just pat me down, either.  He had to announc...

    Just a trillion here, and a trillion there

    Last Vegas? The Fontainebleau Casino Opens its Doors

    For 18 years now the Fontainebleau Casino has loomed over the North end of the Las Vegas Strip.  The tallest building in the state seemed to be almost invisible, an utterly lifeless structure cut off from everything around it by a simple chain-l...

    Boy, (oops, I apologize for using gendered language, this is all new for me) did I choose the wrong career path, here I’ve been working all these years. What a sucker I am! I could have slapped on some makeup, jumped in a bathtub, and drank ...

    LGBTQ and the Palestinians… spread the woke!

    It’s very exciting to see that the alphabet narcissist brigade has decided to “stand with” Hamas.  The reason it’s so exciting?  Hamas will finally be educated about microaggressions, pronouns, gendered language,...

    A horror story for climate zealots

    John Carpenter was a pretty amazing filmmaker in his early years.  He took three pumpkins, a bag of leaves, a poorly tuned piano, a half-in-the-bag lead actor, bad lighting, and an awful script and turned all that into a cinematic masterpie...

    What 'transwomen' and car accidents have in common

    What do “transwomen” and car accidents have in common?  (No, this question isn’t the setup for the obvious joke punch line being, “everything.”) Where on earth could people have gotten the idea to call a man in a...

    What if they complete California High Speed Rail?

    My last submission to AT was about what happens if California High Speed Rail isn’t completed.  Today I’m asking, what if it is? “Build it, and they will come” has pretty much been the American way from the get go. ...

    Democracy left already. Republic is getting her coat.
