THE ONE QUESTION BIDEN SHOULD HAVE ASKED UAE (WHEN HE APOLOGIZED)

You’ve heard by now that US Vice President Joe Biden publicly stated that members of the Gulf Cooperation Council plus Turkey have been supporting terrorists in these nations’ collective bid to overthrow Syria President Bashar Al-Assad—something many of us have been saying for a while—only to backpedal and offer an apology to Turkey and United Arab Emirates. […]

DETROIT, WATER, BANKS & HUMAN RIGHTS

  Anyone following the Detroit water crisis will have learned a valuable lesson this week: living a healthy life has nothing to do with human rights—at least not when paying for clean, running water is concerned. I’ll tone down my heavily-opinionated approach today and let you reach your own conclusion about US Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes’ […]

AG HOLDER – WHO’S THE COWARD NOW?

Here I go again, offering a dissenting opinion about US Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to leave the Obama Administration. I think many of the mainstream news sources glossed over some important details about Holder’s tour of duty at the Department of Justice; Fox News analysts have their brains stuck too far up their partisan portholes to […]

THIS CHART EXPLAINS WHY YOU CAN’T TRUST DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS WITH THE ECONOMY (IF YOU’RE NOT RICH)

Pew Research’s Conrad Hackett tweeted a disturbing chart by economist Pavlina R Tcherneva—the richest 10 percent of Americans has soaked up an increasingly greater share of average income growth during every US economic expansion since the 1950s. The 2009-2012 period can really piss you off—even if you’re a member of the top 10%. No one can […]

ISIL BITS

While President Obama and other world leaders converge on the UN General Assembly and clog New York City street traffic, It may be a good time to map a few of the latest ISIL news stories to the themes I’ve been writing  about. Read these first To fully understand where I’m coming from, read: A […]

THE BEHEADING KINGS

  You thought ISIL holds the Most Brutal title with its beheadings of civilians? Wrong. This is what the United Nations‘ Human Rights office has to say about Saudi Arabia (emphasis mine): According to the experts, so far in 2014, at least 45 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia. Between 4 and 22 August, […]

A BETTER WAY TO DESTROY ISIL

My previous post about why I think President Obama’s ISIL strategy is lame will make most Obama defenders ask “Well, what’s YOUR strategy? ” This post serves as my answer. No matter how Team Obama markets its four-point plan to destroy ISIL, bombs take center stage here—as if America can offer nothing else to the […]

GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR, TAKE 2

We’re approaching another 9/11 anniversary, and while some of the victims’ names begin to literally fade away, I feel as if I’m living with a family member who is not only an arsonist hell-bent on setting the neighborhood ablaze — our house included — but who is also a fire truck salesman. Who could have guessed […]

HAPPY BELATED LABOR DAY! I GUESS.

    Apologies, this Labor Day post was sitting in my computer for a few days and should have  been released days ago. I’ll start by reminding you that Labor Day in America was born from the Washington’s election year desire to make up for the blood of workers that was literally spilled during a federally-ordered […]
