Rep. Pelosi, the House Is on Fire and You're Talking About Dinner?
Sorry Rep. Pelosi, but you did not win the House. The DCCC didn’t win the House. The Resistance won the House. The Resistance made up of rational Republicans, Independents, Progressives, Liberals, and Democrats. This is not your win. Your run-of-the-mill, kumbaya, work across the aisle blather is exactly why, we, the resistance is telling you to step aside and let our new representatives run this thing.

To Senator Rob Portman: An Open Letter
Tuesday, October 30, 2018 Dear Senator Portman, Thank you for your email with regards to the message I left with your office on October 29. While I’m heartened by your concern over the deaths of the 11 innocent people at the synagogue in Pittsburgh this past weekend, I called to request that you use your position to refute the latest action taken impulsively—and many Ohioans believe with bigoted motives—by the current occupant of the White House.

"Why Us?" Say White Male Democrats
For one thing, being represented by a White man in a district that’s predominately Black and Brown and female—no matter how progressive the person—is actually not representative in the way a representative democracy is supposed to be. It’s a matter of perspective.

Elegy for a Maverick of Mixed Premises
Most men are gray in terms of their convictions. They hold onto good and life-affirming ideals while also clutching toxins at the same time. Many men have exhibited this dichotomy much like the late Senator John McCain. As he espoused “Duty, Honor, and Country” during his lifetime, the words encapsulate the man’s entire outlook on politics and life as a whole. Two out of the three ideals show a sense of what is the worst in an individual, duty and country.

Mother Sturgeon, Cult? Discuss
I know I have written several pieces on the subject of the SNP and its effect on the life of Scotland and its political and people. So I decided to take a break from Scottish politics for a wee while. Unfortunately, I have no option but to write a little bit more about the present status of the SNP attempts to push for a second independence referendum and sundry other matters. Deep breath and here goes.....

In light of the current legal proceedings involving the Trump administration, especially the "Intelligence Community" investigating alleged crimes arising from the so-called "Russian Collusion" hysteria, it's worthwhile to revisit a comment made by Senator Charles "Chuck" Schumer (D-NY) in January, 2017, even before the President took the oath of office.

Republican Catfish
ASL? Anyone who has ever entered an internet chatroom has been asked this question. After answering, many of the people asking the question will ask for proof of this. A good catfish will have plenty of pictures available to share with their potential victim. Republican Illinois State Legislator Nick Sauer allegedly did this to at least eight straight men, using pictures that his ex-girlfriend sent to him.

The Case for Elizabeth Warren in 2020
The Case for Elizabeth Warren in 2020 is simple. She is not the reason she should be running for President. The reason she is should run is so much deeper than that. She represents a large portion of America that is not interested in “revolution”. She represents a large portion of our nation that already thought, and still thinks America at its core is pretty great. She represents the mother that is putting off picking up her medicine a few more days to ensure her children have lunch money for the rest of the week. She represents that father that is really sick of working that low paying part-time warehouse job, when just a few short years ago he had a job that paid all the bills with enough left over to save. The case for Elizabeth Warren in 2020 is a lot less about her, and a hell of a lot more about the people she keeps fighting for and trying to protect in Congress.
