This was the week the new fall season of television got underway. Did you catch The Ted Cruz Show this week? Limited production values. Lousy acting. Boring script. If there ever was a program that deserved cancellation before the debut, Senator Cruz’s phony filibuster to defund Obamacare was definitely it. Terrible Ted hopes he call […]
Okay, so since nobody wants to talk about mental health in the wake of this week’s Navy Yard blood bath mass shooting at the hands of an obviously mentally disturbed Aaron Alexis, I figured we can move on to something else. Yes, I’ll play your game and get back to talking about gun control even […]
Proving that some people aren’t interested in having a much-needed conversation on race, within the media, said much-needed conversation has turned into a conversation on black-on-black crime. If I didn’t know any better it would be easy for me to conclude that racism only exists in America because black people are killing each other. Yes, […]
With champions of racial equality like Rush Limbaugh around, who needs a conversation on race? In the wake of the George Zimmerman Not Guilty verdict, all week I’ve heard it mentioned that we’re in need of a national conversation on race. As one who absolutely champions for freedom, justice, and equality I applaud and urge […]
Even with official charges being filed by the U.S. government, Edward Snowden continues his globetrotting while being heralded as a hero by many opposed to the NSA data-mining program. Snowden has been reported to have left Hong Kong and is now in Moscow. In spite of a plea to turn himself in by his dad, […]
I can think of many reasons to support immigration reform. But of all the reasons to sup[port immigration reform, I never knew that the fertility of immigrants would be one of them. Being an immigrant myself, you would think that I would have been wise to this obvious advantage. But it just goes to show […]
Immigration… As an immigrant and advocate for immigration reform, nothing upsets me off more than when I hear people who look like me complain and say, “President Obama is doing immigration for Latinos, but has done nothing for Black people.” It’s a rather myopic view of what is in fact a very complex situation. Sadly, […]
Not that I ever really lost it, but Edward Snowden has restored my faith in America. Whether you regard him as a hero or as a “traitor,” as John Boehner called him for his revealing government secrets (secrets which are in fact perfectly legal). The fact remains: There is nowhere else on earth that a […]
Pissed off that the govt is spying on you? Welcome to being black in America. My man, Dr. Cornel West called it the “Niggerization of America.” And it’s been happening since 9/11. To that point, watching privileged folk lose their freedom-loving minds this morning, has been nothing but pure comedy for me. Oh, and when […]
The minute I heard that John McCain snuck into Syria to speak with “rebels” fighting the Syrian government, I knew it was not going to end well. Naturally the cynic in me laughed uncontrollably at the thought of a 150-year-old John McCain, attempting to reprise the role of “John Rambo” famously played by Sylvester Stallone […]
Okay, repeat after me: “Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t believe the hype!” Yes, there’s been a lot of talk about rising premiums and how Obamacare has made things so expensive that employers are now forced to cut the hours of low-wage workers. Well, newsflash: it isn’t even 2014, and the exchanges haven’t even been set up […]
I have been having so much thoughts about Veronica Brown, it has been unsettling. With the adoptive couple now suing the biological father for half a million dollars on top of taking his daughter away from him. Adding insult to injury. My mom said it goes to show, the government still doesn’t care about us. […]
I checked out an article from Salon where the CEO of one of the largest insurance companies AIG Robert Benmosche made a highly absurd, droll and all-around stupid comment about its government funded bonuses. Those bonuses were awarded to keep the insurance giant from sinking despite its questionable and morally criminal business practices in which […]

Raise your hand if when you heard about the terrorist hostage-taking situation in Kenya you thought, “They’re malls in Africa?” Well, apparently the condiment has come a long way since monkeys taught Tarzan how to speak. But of course you knew that, right? Of course you did. The only thing you don’t know about Africa […]
Craig Cobb is a white supremacist who has been recently purchasing land in a small North Dakota town called Leith. His plan is to transform the tiny town of twenty-four residents into a haven of white supremacy; and he plans to do so by first gaining political power. When I first came across this story […]
