Operation White Privilege, fifty-nine days later.

On January 6th, 2021, #MAGA and #QAnon showed their true color. They’ve been whiny and dishonest about that day ever since. A continuation of Operation White Privilege. 1/6/21. So…in recent news, Richard Barnett, the MAGA QAnon fella in these photos, lashed out at the judge who did not grant him bail. He sounds bent out […]

CPAC 2021. Don’t get mad at them, they’re just being white.

“Nazis…I hate these guys.” — Indiana Jones Don’t get mad at them, they’re just being white. Not gonna be a long post. Just got #CPAC2021 happening this weekend and it sounds crazy. A big, gold statue of Don. A stage shaped like a Nazi symbol. Josh Hawley. Like I said, it sounds crazy. You think […]

Bury Rush Limbaugh in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Own the libs.

A draft-dodging, science-denying, woman-hating, supremacy-promoting bastion of conservatism died last week. Last year, I wrote a post about Rush Hudson Limbaugh, III. In this roundabout way, I needed to thank him for my dark comedy, Fearkiller (Volume 1). Rush, being his usual sad self, made me think about my book and what I wanted to […]

Are there any Alex P. Keaton Republicans left?

In the age of MAGA and QAnon, let’s look back at a conservative icon from another era. Mallory: Everyone, I want you to meet Jamie Carter.Alex [Jumping into Steven’s lap]: AAAUGH!Steven: Alex, she said Jamie, not Jimmy. I entered the 1980s as an eight-year-old and exited the decade as an eighteen-year-old. To have gone through […]

Before MAGA and QAnon, there was Doc.

Let’s voyage back in time to July 2008. Dubya occupied the White House. Flo Rida and T-Pain topped the charts. The recession was just a recession and not yet the Great Recession. (Thank you, Wall Street.) Mid-summer. 2008. Dang. Seems like another age. I briefly mentioned the subject of this post in an earlier post. […]

The Donald Trump Tax, continued.

There are free markets. And then there are “free markets.” Part 2 of “The Donald Trump Tax.“ Today, Robin Hood restricted trading on stocks that have been pumped by Redditors. Individual folks got together to target different companies and manipulate the price—you know…what hedge funders, oligarchs, and investment bankers do. And wow. The rich fellas […]

The Donald Trump Tax.

Yo, rich people: you used Don to make out like bandits for the past four years. Time to pay for the damage. Americans gained $25.8 trillion in wealth during Trump’s presidency. And for every one dollar the richest 10% got, the bottom half got six cents. — Dan PriceIn other news, America’s billionaires could give […]

Chevychasing it.

Think of this dick celebrity as a bloated, aging metaphor for the plight of the dick white guy in Donald Trump’s America. Maybe I started to hate Chevy Chase after reading about his attempts to sabotage other writers during pitch meetings in those early days of Saturday Night Live. In case you haven’t heard, this […]

Operation White Privilege. 1/6/21.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” — Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th President of the United States This past Wednesday will be remembered as one […]
