You’ll never see photos like these here in America. Revolution is not practical here. We might get hurt if we get on the streets. We can’t strike because we’ll lose our jobs. According to some Americans I’ve spoken to,… Read More ›

What did optimism ever get us? It got us Barack Obama, for one thing. The great Bait-and-Switch President soon became The Great Impostor. It was a hard pill to swallow, that meme with George W. Bush laughing at us saying… Read More ›
This piece was written in response to the speech Nina Turner made on Martin Luther King day. While you’re at it, stow the bullshit on Bernie Sanders’ and Tulsi Gabbard’s progressivism. Three strikes and you’re out. None of them are… Read More ›
On Tuesday, December 5, the plebes of Boston will once again be graced with the presence of Hillary Clinton. She just blew through town on her “Snivel and Blame Tour,” but she’s coming back one more time to get an… Read More ›
The Clintons have had a long, storied history in American politics, from Whitewater to Uranium One. While Hillary Clinton wants you to believe that the allegations against her and her husband are nothing more than a “vast, right-wing conspiracy”… Read More ›

Oh, boo fucking hoo on the Democratic Party. They’re worried. Yep. Rumor has it that Democratic Party operatives are worried about what kind of “image” it might project or what kind of “message” it might send about Hillary Clinton when… Read More ›
I wasn’t going to blog today. Nope. I was going to sleep because waking up at 1:30 a.m. to deliver newspapers is torture. And being someone unable to sleep during the day makes it that much more difficult. So, instead,… Read More ›

As you can see, I have not written on this blog since 2014, and that’s because I’ve been totally politically disenfranchised throughout Barack Obama’s two terms. Simply put, Obama was the ultimate establishment politician. As a candidate on the hunt,… Read More ›

Yeah, I know. That’s an overused phrase. I was thinking of using The More Things Change, The More They Stay the Same, but that’s overused too. And, frankly, I feel as though I sound like a broken record. However, there’s… Read More ›
