Every Day Is Fundraising Time

After Roe v. Wade was overturned by the US Supreme Court, President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats were heavily criticized for their response, which boils down to pleas to vote for Democrats and fundraising.

Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who had Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi murdered, chopped up and dissolved in acid, is scheduled to meet with President Joe Biden. Biden is visiting the Middle East in order to ask Saudi Arabia to ramp up oil production to make up for the shortage of Russian oil created by his sanctions. If I were the president, I would be nervous—especially since he just published an op-ed justifying the trip in the Washington Post.

Gas Policy à la Carte

President Joe Biden and his advisors tell American motorists that they must pay higher gas prices “as long as it takes” to fight in Ukraine and promote the “liberal world order.” Perhaps gas should be sold by which policies its prices are based upon.

Self-Loathing Political Perversion

Democrats like to suck up to right-wing Republicans like Liz Cheney. Some, like Robert Reich, even say she should be a Democratic presidential candidate. You never ever see Republicans engaging in the equivalent mental exercise, but what if you did?

Voting Democratic will not get abortion rights back. Pro-choice advocates will have to do exactly what the pro-life movement did over the course of half a century in order to reverse this devastating loss of women’s rights.

Bourgeois Feminism

The decision of the United States Supreme Court to no longer guarantee the right of a woman to get an abortion helps to expose other, equally important rights, that are not guaranteed under the United States Supreme Court or, for that matter, the United States government at all.

Anything Different Would Be Crazy

A two-party political system isn’t a democracy. It’s a flail machine. Voters keep voting against the party in charge in order to send a message. Eventually, they keep voting for the party that they were trying to send a message against.

Nothing to Worry about

Humanity seems absolutely determined not to do anything about the climate change crisis or the environment. But think about the bright side: rising oceans will resolve all sorts of issues that we actually pay attention to.

God’s Crazy Weird Stupid Plan for Dead Children

In response to the mass shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde Texas, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton commented that God always has a plan. What divine plan requires children to have their brains blown out by high-caliber ammunition?

Committed

Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks journalist who published revelations about US war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq, is closer to being extradited to the United States to face espionage charges in a kangaroo court. Meanwhile, the criminals he exposed live comfortable lives.
