U. S. Health Care

The Cruel Cost of American Healthcare — And the Horror of PrumpTutin’s Vision We already know the numbers—and they’re obscene. In 2023, the United States spent $4.9 trillion on healthcare. That’s about $14,570 for every man, woman, and child, devouring 17.6% of our GDP.

The Doctor Has Left the Building

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is not a doctor. He’s a lawyer. And not the kind who reads medical journals. He’s the kind who sues vaccine makers, rewatches Plandemic, and calls it research. He has no public health credentials. No clinical experience. But—he did stay at a Holiday

Mobsters

trump surrounds himself with criminals. Always has. As if the list of convicted aides and cronies weren’t enough, he’s now gone further pardoning the January 6 insurrectionists in one of his first acts after clawing back the White House. These weren’t peaceful protestors. These were the people

History's got teeth when you know where to bite

Looking to write about something other than that corrupt fool for a change. History has got plenty of material. How Smugglers Started a Revolution and Called It Freedom December 16, 1773. Low tide in Boston Harbor. Men dressed as Mohawk Indians are knee-deep in mud, breaking up tea with oars

trump wins again

trump scammed his supporters yet again, and they thanked him for it. Six months in, trump owns everything—the White House, Congress, the courts, his base—and the only thing that could touch him is locked in files he'll never open. Attorney General Pam Bondi briefed trump in

Crimes Against Taste

the Rose Garden You can tell everything about a dictator by his décor. Mussolini had his balcony. Hitler had his eagles. And trump? trump has gold-plated toilet, and including, presumably, his soul—if he hadn't already pawned it to Putin for a hotel deal. The man's

Losing Power

and what it costs Jul 01, 2025 No one’s talking about the real issue behind U.S. military spending. People rage about wasted trillions, endless wars, and defense contractors stuffing their pockets. Or they howl for bigger budgets, more ships, more missiles, more toughness. And in the middle of

Republicians are Gone

The Party of Lincoln Is Now the Party of PrumpTutin We’ve passed the “just a phase” phase and the monster is among us. There was a time—not ancient history, just a few cracked headlines back—when Republicans wore Lincoln’s legacy like a badge. Abolisher of slavery. Defender

The Enemy

Jul 07, 2025 We have met the enemy, and it is us. Pogo said that in 1970. A cartoon possum nailed the dark heart of American life better than most politicians ever manage. But the idea wasn’t new. In 1838, Abraham Lincoln stood up in Springfield, Illinois, and tried

On the Hook!

The Membership Card The signs are subtle at first. They're discovering what the rest of us knew ten years ago: they backed a con man. The small tells are everywhere now—not exhaustion, but a shift in the story. The awkward pauses at the bar, the way they
