Dinesh D’Souza, arguably the fakest fake intellectual in America’s “right-wing populist” infrastructure, has just pulled back the curtain on his biggest fraud ever — albeit while attempting, per his usual style, to play-act some measure of personal detachment from his own self-promoting, America-hating misdeeds, thereby (he hopes) saving some hope of further tribe-baiting, money-grubbing schemes in the future. Specifically, he has quietly, oh-so-carefully...
Headline: “Republicans lash out at claims that Trump intelligence pick Tulsi Gabbard is ‘compromised.’” The LA Times reports that “Republicans” (two of them, to be precise) are “lashing out” against a couple of Democrats, and in particular U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth, who have described Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence as “compromised,” based on her long history of blatantly pro-Putin comments...
Donald Trump has nominated Tulsi Gabbard to be his director of national intelligence. Gabbard is an overtly pro-Putin propagandist, an apologist for communist China, a willing and unmasked agent for foreign tyrants with blatantly anti-American agendas. Does Trump know this, and is he choosing her because she will compromise America’s national security for the sake of furthering totalitarian goals in Europe and East...
A vainglorious megalomaniac with the world’s largest stockpile of nuclear weapons is fighting a war of aggression intended to break the will and splinter the unity of the West once and for all. The most populous country on the planet, with the largest military and third largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, has used the world’s economic opportunism to pay for the development of...
To say that Donald Trump is the worst thing that ever happened to American politics would be analogous to saying that the horrible smell in your kitchen is the worst thing that ever happened to the raw meat you left out on the counter overnight. That is to say, the truly worst thing is not the after-effect, nor even the effect itself, but...
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have debated. Everything about that last sentence is absurd. Kamala Harris is an ill-informed fool and tool of the Democratic Party establishment. Donald Trump is a full-blown ignoramus about political matters whose only area of legitimate knowledge, if one may call it that, is salesmanship, albeit mainly in the snake oil sense of the word. A debate, in...
In a little over two months, the identity of the next President of the United States will be determined. I choose my words carefully. I say that the identity of the next president will be determined, not that it will be revealed. To be fair, there is a vague sense, which may be more a factor of one man’s marketing genius than of...
A few notes on the Democratic National Convention, a political event I would be even less likely to watch than a Republican National Convention. At least this year’s RNC (of which I watched a total of about one minute) involved some intrigue concerning how the party was going to frame itself so as to hold the wide range of voters it needs in...
I watched approximately thirty seconds of the Republican National Convention live on the internet. The first fifteen of those seconds were devoted to a careful examination of the first half of a sentence by Donald Trump’s former press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The second fifteen second block was my intensive study of the vice presidential nomination speech of J. D. Vance, which only...
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting at Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Pennsylvania, there has been a lot of talk, on both sides of the false dichotomy that declares itself the whole truth of American politics, about how crimes like this are the “result” of the alarmist and life-or-death rhetoric that characterizes political speech today, the only debate being over which side...
