Is Trump Evil?
One thing trump is known for is being "evil." A lot of people would agree; rest in peace, Hillary Clinton supporters. The problem with last year's election was the hate. It was never "I love Trump" or "I love Hillary," it was always "I hate him/her." But the people would do the exact same thing if given a second chance. America is a big ethnic salad, and every old white guy was expected to vote for Trump. Well, I'm pretty sure that almost 50% of America is not old white men.

Who Gets to Say the N-Word?
I'm going to start off my saying that I am not objective in this subject matter (I do not claim any neutral stance). Honestly speaking, I have certain biases because I am very passionate when talking about the N-word (and I'm black as hell). So, lets start with clearly stating where I stand on the this issue.

American Carnage, Trump Edition
What happened Sunday night on the Las Vegas strip was perversely, singularly American. The nation’s sense of its size, its culture, its broad existential vistas, its romance with armada, its literal and spiritual wide-open spaces — all collided with its tragic irony as a nation whose pugnacious, futurist identity derives from the ballistics of 250 years ago. Sunday’s events were a malign form of so-called American exceptionalism: What took place outside the Mandalay Bay Hotel probably couldn’t have occurred in any other country in the world.

Do Ossified Ocelots Osscillate?
by FRANCIS GRECOROMACOLLUDEN, Alternate Reality News Service National Politics Writer President Ronald McDruhitmumpf was in High Dudgeon (an authentic 1830s shrimp farming village in Mississota, complete with the original 1830s shrimp) when he came to a... speed bump on the road to unthinking public adulation.

Black History Month: 👍🏿 Or 👎🏿

And, the Carnage Continues
Could it be that the times of today are masked by the Devil's hand? One has to wonder considering the carnage that played out in Las Vegas. The perpetrators of calamity continue to carry out their heinous acts of unspeakable terror. Each violent act is proceeded by yet another more devastating slaughter of innocent lives. We have to remember that it was just about a year ago that another willful act of senseless murder eclipsed yet another murderous atrocity that was carried out before. It is as though every year there is yet another more tragic senseless loss of life by someone that is willfully aware of what they do. It doesn't help that the United States has by far the largest collection of deadly weapons of any other nation that are in the hands of their citizens either.

What Is Happening to America?
The people of this country have been shocked, and saddened, by the massacre that took place in Las Vegas last weekend, and they are saddened every time there is a school shooting, or a sniper hiding in the trunk of a car, picking off innocent people.

Planet in Peril
Everybody is talking about climate change and the need for green energy production, in order to curb greenhouse gas emissions. I want to demonstrate the link between greenhouse gas emissions, carbon foot prints, and their inexorable link to economies. I want to show why climate change, to some countries at least, there are very limited options for tools to fight the problem. But, first, if you allow me, I want to recapitulate some basic facts on climate change as they are known within the scientific community and to the general public.

Guns Among Us
I wish I could say I’d been blindsided by the most recent shooting, but I’m old enough to remember Columbine and frankly, the horror has become mundane. Sometimes I wonder if this was the way New Yorkers felt in the 80s, when muggings were so commonplace as to be a running joke. I could quote statistics about gun crime and domestic terror to fill a thousand articles, but we have all already seen the data. We know that there is something wrong about the rate of gun crimes in America, we don’t need depersonalized numbers to bring that home.

No Nazis in Our Gothenburg
Weeks before the media began to whip up sensationalist articles about the coming march. Thousands of violent left-wing protesters would descend upon the streets of Gothenburg they said. The dreaded Antifa, who “were equally as bad as the Nazis,” would be there too. The day before, the free Metro newspaper ran the headline “places to stay away from this Saturday.”
