Frequent visitors to mentalunrest would not be surprised by my thoughts on the House Select Committee’s report on the 2012 Benghazi, Libya attacks that left US ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. For you newbies, I think the report’s findings are a joke. Check the following links to get a sense of where I’m coming from: Benghazi […]
Read More THE ALMOST LAUGHABLY IMPOTENT BENGHAZI REPORTIt harms the spirit to think that the 2016 presidential election has distilled our collective vision to a choice between a war hawk who will assuredly leave a trail of Black and Brown limp bodies — as well as a few white Slavic ones — across four continents, and another candidate where there’s a widely-held […]
Read More WELCOME TO 2016 — WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO COUNT THE BODIES?Presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s reported $1.3 million campaign war chest is making political junkies’ howl with laughter. (Laughing) It’s likely that local politicians who ho’d themselves out to industry groups have about as much campaign cash! A humorous surface view of the story makes you wonder if Trump’s campaign looks like one of those Rap […]
Read More IS TRUMP WITH NO LOOT ANY LESS DANGEROUS?As the presidential candidate who’s “willing to debate anytime and anywhere,” and is willing to speak with any investigator about her private email troubles, Hillary Clinton seems to be saying “No” a lot lately. Saying “No” to a Party of No Guts primary debate with opponent Bernie Sanders in California makes sense on the surface […]

But I suppose that’s a reason for why my blog exists … […]
Read More MEDIA PLAYS DOWN ANOTHER BERNIE SANDERS WINWith this puzzling statement, President Obama provided a strong clue — despite evidence that Hillary Clinton could exchange her presidential campaign aspirations for an orange jumpsuit, and in the face of an ongoing FBI investigation of whether or not Deep State’s most favored candidate conducted classified State Department business on her private email apparatus — […]
Read More TEE-BALL, AND NO JAIL FOR HILLARY IN 2016A torn backside for the rest of America to see is the risk Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton takes when she constantly fence-hops to give the appearance of being a populist to primary voters while also acting as a member of the Oligarchs Booster Club. She also makes her opponent Bernie Sanders look like a […]
Read More PANAMA PAPERS AND HILLARY CLINTON’S SLOW BURNThere’s trouble in Hollywood Washington this year. Buying into Frank Zappa’s axiom that “Politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex” also means reconciling the role elections — and theoretically, independent-minded voters — play in this metaphorical value chain. Therefore, extending Zappa’s logic would likely lead you to conclude that America’s two major […]
Read More WRITER’S BLOCK: HOW WILL THE 2016 ELECTIONS BE SCRIPTED?Like any good trick football play, Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s misdirection on shadow banking requires a few enablers. First, your susceptibility — or abundant willingness — to have your attention diverted from where the ball actually is. Second, a diversion — or a series of them — to take advantage of your susceptibility. Third — […]
Read More CLINTON’S SHADOW BANKING TRICKThis week’s Sunday Smack explores presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s victory over Bernie Sanders in the South Carolina Democratic primary yesterday, but will focus on the enablers to that win: the Black vote.
