Trump’s MAGA movement caught many Americans by surprise. They’ve never seen anything like it before. This is the first time anyone has tried to overthrow our democracy. To outsiders, Trump looks like a pied piper leading a crowd of zombies into a never-never land of lies, fantasies, and [...]

Mike Pence’s campaign lies
Mike Pence launched his quixotic campaign for the presidency on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, with a pack of lies. I say “quixotic” because Pence isn’t going to be president. He has no constituency; he’s too rightwing to appeal to Democrats, and Trump Republicans won’t touch[...]
Nikki Haley wants to “save America”
From what? Union wages? Women controlling their own bodies? Queer people? In a townhall on Sunday, June 4, 2023 (read story here), she wouldn’t get specific about abortion. Women voters are entitled to assume she would sign a nationwide ban, because that’s what Republicans are enacting [...]
Biden and the sandbag
Republicans want you to believe Biden is too old for another term. That’s doubtful, but even if true, isn’t a good enough reason to elect any Republican presently in the field. Amusingly, Republicans who question Biden’s mental faculties are complaining he outsmarted them in debt c[...]

Nikki Haley, Confederate sympathizer
Do you want someone steeped in Confederate culture to be president? Now that she’s running for the top job, she’s singing a different tune; but when she was South Carolina’s governor, Nikki Haley didn’t hesitate to pander to “Southern tradition.” I’ll explai[...]

An obscure presidential candidate you should know more about
Larry Elder is running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. I had to look him up. Wikipedia says (here) he’s a “right-wing political commentator and conservative talk radio host” in Los Angeles. He was on the ballot in California’s 2021 recall election against Gov. Gavin[...]

Twitter crash derails DeSantis’s campaign launch
“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign announcement plans were derailed Wednesday evening by massive technical glitches on Twitter that kept him from declaring his candidacy,” CNBC reported on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 (read story here). “’Servers are straining somewha[...]
Can any Republican win in 2024?
President Biden, who’s running for re-election, looks vulnerable. He has low approval ratings, many voters question his age, even many Democrats are leery of Kamala Harris succeeding him, and he could face an election-year recession. But you can’t ignore voters’ other choice, and t[...]
Nikki Haley would bypass courts in subway choking case
Nikki Haley, who’s running for president, announced on Fox News that New York’s governor should pardon the white man who choked a mentally-ill black subway rider to death (see story here). The case is complicated, and certainly not as simple as its component of white-on-black violence wo[...]

Nikki Haley lacks backbone to be president
Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and Trump ambassador who is running for president, is a spineless blob. I previously pointed out here that she sucks up to Trump (or, more precisely, his adoring voters). This is true even though she’s challenging him for the 2024 GOP nomination.[...]
