The Associated Press recently ran an article with a disturbing title: “‘We’re sick of it’: Anger over police killings shatters US.” I take serious issue with this kind of catastrophizing language, which is why I want to reframe their point and compare the past several years to the Vietnam Era. Let’s stick to two points …

Trump’s feud with Twitter has escalated: he is expected to sign an executive order targeting social media. Unfortunately, there are (as of this writing) no details about the content of that executive order. But it doesn’t really matter––Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has said that he will continue to fact check any information related to elections. …

Donald Trump’s 2020 chances aren’t looking great. As of Memorial Day, Trump’s disapproval rating is at a whopping 53.5%, and his approval rating is down to 42.7%. According to a different poll, 53% of Americans disapproved “strongly” or “somewhat” with Trump’s handling of COVID. But you don’t even have to look at polls to know, …

When Trump wasn’t president, but just some crackpot on twitter, he loved to criticize Obama for golfing, which Obama rarely did. Now that we’ve all entered the twilight zone and Trump is president, we’ve witnessed one of the greatest switcheroos of all time. Trump. Golfs. Constantly. His golf bill has cost the tax payer millions …

Ghislaine Maxwell was supposed to answer questions in a civil suit alleging she participating in the sexual battery of a teenage girl, but she’s been granted a delay.

Two months ago, Lori Loughlin, the former “Full House” star who is accused of bribing her children’s way into college, has finally agreed to plead guilty. For her attempt to circumvent what little meritocracy is left in higher education, she’ll have to pay $150,000 in fines (a fraction of her initial bribe…so…yeah), spend two months …

Cell phone data suggests that anti-lockdown protestors are traveling across state lines to gather and protest, potentially spreading COVID to places that have seen little activity until now. Images from a recent rally––tweeted by Trump––show hundreds of pro-Trump supporters in close quarters and not wearing masks. That makes contracting COVID much more likely. Although Trump is …

President Trump said that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure against COVID. A Fox News commentator basically panicked when he heard that, warning viewers not to try that, saying: “It was a test on patients there, and those who took it in a vulnerable population, including those with respiratory or other conditions, …

Eric Trump is blaming Democrats for so-called COVID hysteria. He asserts that after the 2020 election, COVID will “magically all of a sudden go away and disappear” and the country will reopen. It’s kind of ironic that Eric is accusing the Democrats of making political hay of COVID, meanwhile, his father and his cronies have …

A major Republican donor and supporter of Donald Trump has received a $27 million grant for his private jet company. Because it’s a grant, it does not need to be repaid. Ashford Hospitality Trust, a real estate investment trust, along with some of its subsidiaries, gobbled up around $30m of Paycheck Protect Program funding, making it …

Republican insiders are beginning to vocalize concerns about losing the Senate in 2020. With a handful of states vulnerable, including Maine and North Caroline, the Senate could swing blue. They’re right to worry. President Trump’s approval rating has fallen one percent from April, while his disapproval rating has risen two percent to 51%. Approval ratings for …

Late last week, Katie Miller, Mike Pence’s spokesperson has tested positive for COVID. Miller is also Stephen Miller’s wife. More White House officials tested positive for COVID after Miller, including Ivanka Trump’s personal assistant and one of Trump’s personal valets.
