This short 18 August 2025 essay has been floating around the Internet appearing in various memes. It was written by Wisconsin-based writer Oliver Kornetzke. I saw a post on Substack in which the author said this apt description of Dear Leader and much of what ails the US is "AI slop." First, it's not slop … Continue reading Behold. The Festering Carcass of American Rot Shoved Into An Ill-fitting Suit

The Last Laugh: Late Night Television’s Death Knell
Another repost of a Facebook essay by Michael Jochum, an incisive and insightful writer. Not too bad on the drums either. 😀 MAA Well, it’s over. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will sign off tonight, Thursday, May 21, 2026, and with him, something far more meaningful than a television franchise will quietly walk offstage. … Continue reading The Last Laugh: Late Night Television’s Death Knell
A Historian Spent 30 Years Interviewing Nazis. He Identified 12 Warning Signs of Fascism. All 12 Are Present in Trump’s America Right Now.
I feel compelled to repost this spot-on Substack essay by Mitch Jackson. Here's a related post about Robert O. Paxton’s book, The Anatomy of Fascism. Tick-tock, fellow US Americans. MAA The evidence is not opinion. It is public record. And it demands your attention before November. Apr 04, 2026 Listen to the audio version A … Continue reading A Historian Spent 30 Years Interviewing Nazis. He Identified 12 Warning Signs of Fascism. All 12 Are Present in Trump’s America Right Now.
What Do We (Anti-Zionist) Jews Talk About When We Talk About Zionism?
This is a repost of a Substack essay by Phil Rockstroh, another anti-Zionist Jew whom I deeply admire for speaking the truth about the apartheid and genocidal nation of Israel. Below is an Arabic translation for my Palestinian friends and colleagues: ما الذي نتحدث عنه نحن اليهود المناهضون للصهيونية عندما نتحدث عن الصهيونية؟ Peace & … Continue reading What Do We (Anti-Zionist) Jews Talk About When We Talk About Zionism?
The Blood on His Hands
Ladies and gentlemen - the president of the United States of America. From Vincent Peters via LinkedIn. He could have added that Trump has broken all Ten Commandments. I respectfully disagree with Vincent: I don't think redemption is in the cards. I included "racism" as a tag because there are (surprise!) no people of color … Continue reading The Blood on His Hands
It’s Not Trump. It’s America.
Image created by ChatGPT based on the second paragraph of this post. I often hear this comment from well-meaning US colleagues: "This is not who we are." Perhaps it's a manifestation of wishful thinking rooted in the mistaken belief that MAGA 2.0 is an aberration. My interior monologue always quickly responds, "This is exactly who … Continue reading It’s Not Trump. It’s America.
Americans are Beginning to Notice
This is a repost of a Facebook post by the one and only, Michael Jochum, whose tagline is Not Just a Drummer: Reflections on Art, Politics, Dogs, and the Human Condition. My response to the title of this post: May it be so. Peace & Justice, MAA There are moments in history when the façade … Continue reading Americans are Beginning to Notice
A Pedophile Protector
I feel like Michael Jochum's publicist. I can resist reposting some of his Facebook posts. He says what needs to be said eloquently, forcefully, and succinctly. No wasted words. To say he is "Not Just a Drummer," is a understatement. Here's one of his recent posts about the Ford worker who spoke truth to power … Continue reading A Pedophile Protector
Racist-in-Chief
Source: Heterodox Academy, 2018 As one colleague put it, Dear Leader "has no bottom. And the off-the-charts hypocrisy of his Evangelical Christian supporters. Just wow." It's no secret tRump is a racist just like his father. He hates the Obamas for four main reasons: 1) they're Black, 2) they're well-educated and successful, 3) Barack Obama … Continue reading Racist-in-Chief
Dear Leader’s Rap Sheet
This is a repost from Scott Brandt on Facebook. Keep in mind that it's a partial list. I added two items for 2015. One of them alone would have disqualified a candidate from even running in saner times. I thought about adding links to credible sources for the sake of convenience but decided it would be … Continue reading Dear Leader’s Rap Sheet
