When I say “stupid,” I don’t mean dumb, I mean someone who is deliberately uninformed, someone who refuses to ask questions, someone who swallows any story told by our mainstream media, someone who knows nothing and wants to know nothing, whether the subject is Ukraine, or Yemen, or Iraq, or any place further than their […]

Dear Mario,I know you’re no longer present on this earthly plane. But as an Italian-American and native New Yorker, I gotta ask anyway: “How the hell did you throw off two such grotesque stronzi* sons? Chris the flaming narcissist and Andy-boy the Nursing-home assassin. Consider the NYC administration for children’s services (ACS), which is now
I’ll state it up front. I’m tired of Krystal Ball. Two reasons. First, she criticizes the duopoly while realistically supporting the disgusting Dems in the last analysis. Second, she and Saagar Enjeti continually tell us how we should support them because they’re trying to defeat the stupidity and hypocrisy of the mainstream media (MSM). Meanwhile,

First, disclosure: I’m what is often called a “fallen away” Catholic, that departure from Catholicism having been accomplished in my mid-teens. And I never looked back, could never ignore the multiple hypocrisies of the Church, on which I won’t elaborate here. But I have observed the occasional outgassing of populism in the current Pope Francis’
It’s Manchin’s fault. It’s Sinema’s fault. Or so the legislatively feckless Democratic Party would have us believe.

There will always be someone to play that role to pull

As we await a British high court ruling on the fate of Julian Assange — still being degraded by existence in London’s Belmarsh Prison — I can’t help but reflect on my personal experience of the Espionage Act (EA).

You won’t find much on these topics in legacy issues of mainstream media (MSM) pubs like the NY Times or the Guardian. Until now, that is. Now that it’s clear that the mRNA vaccines

Every year in October, against the backdrop of the Columbus Day/ Indigenous People day duality, I remember a singular event in my grammar school history. With lots of Italian-Americans (me included) in my class, a girl named Georgina was invited to sing a song about Cristoforo Columbo. “Christopher Columbus didn’t have a compass, didn’t have
