The Trump administration is distorting reality to an extreme degree. ICE officers, who are brutalizing and terrorizing Americans as well as undocumented workers, are being treated with leniency by the White House, as though their lives were in serious danger. To paraphrase the TV show Breaking Bad, they are the danger.
The war in Gaza may be over, but the repercussions for the state of Israel have just begun. Reporters from the Western world, including the United States, will flood into the occupied territory. They will witness and report conditions so horrific and war crimes so egregious that the reputation of the Jewish state may never recover.
George W. Bush said we have to fight them over there to avoid fighting them here. Now Trump is sending troops to fight Americans on American soil. So, we fight here so we don’t have to fight them there?
Trump and the Republicans keep saying that there’s some Radical Left that’s responsible for everything wrong in the United States. If that’s so, can someone please tell me where and how to join it?
As President Trump has shown with his drone assassinations of unidentified Venezuelans on boats in the Southern Caribbean, if the leader of the free world wants to kill you, he can come up with a legal justification that won’t withstand legal scrutiny. But by the time you make it before a judge, you’ll be blown to bits.
In the classic “I’m Just a Bill” skit from “Schoolhouse Rock,” the process to go from proposal to law is complicated. Now that Trump is governing via executive orders with a compliant Congress, no Democratic opposition, and a rubber-stamp Supreme Court, his ideas become de facto law overnight.
In her new book 107 Days, Kamala Harris claims she was a lioness fighting for Palestinian rights. Not in public, where it counts for a vice president. Behind closed doors, where nobody who mattered could hear her. It’s the latest example of the Biden White House claiming that things were awesome just out of sight.
Trump’s executive order against Antifa directs the government to track down, arrest, and disrupt the group and its funding sources. However, Antifa is not a formal group but an idea. What’s next in Trump’s war against abstract concepts?
Republicans have a strange idea of what constitutes heroism. After years of complaining about liberal cancel culture on college campuses and elsewhere, right-wing conservatives are doxxing and trying to get their political enemies fired, or worse.
In the United States, the vast majority of political violence is directed at the left from the right. Indeed, the Trump administration repeatedly calls for violence against its political opponents. Ignoring history and the facts, however, they’ve cynically exploited the assassination of Charlie Kirk to demand that their liberal opponents stop doing the very thing they are not really doing, but that Republicans are.
