The man’s man vs. the man child

If Kamala Harris becomes the first woman president, her first accomplishment could well have already happened — elevating and honoring the positive side of masculinity. Tim Walz, whose politics are to the left of most Americans and certainly most swing voters, has been welcomed not as a box-checking, progressive pick, but as a Midwestern dad…

‘Tampon Tim’ pulling out all the stops

All politicians lie, usually about unquantifiable things which cannot be readily disproven. And their lies always make themselves look better.  Trump made mistakes in recounting a story about an emergency helicopter landing he thought he had with California’s grand old Democrat (GOD), Willie Brown.

Massey, a 36-year-old Illinois mother, had called 911 because she believed an intruder had entered her home. Two Sangamon County deputies arrived, and one of them, Sean Grayson, began spewing a tirade of…

Team Kamala says she’s tough on the border?

Vice President Kamala Harris wants Americans to believe that she is not a progressive. Now that she’s heading the Democratic ticket, she’s all for securing the border, after all. For many of us who’ve known her since the days she served as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, that’s a tall order. Harris…

Kamala Harris is a mirror to the racist right

One would be hard-pressed to think of a vice president in recent memory placed under as much of a political microscope as Kamala Harris. She can hardly sneeze without someone, somewhere analyzing or dissecting her every move. And let’s not get started on how some of her critics attack her supposed “strange” laugh. Some on…
