As visa and Green Card holders are harassed for exercising their free speech rights, consider for one second whom any of this is helping. Is it helping you? Are tariffs on the goods and services you buy for your family’s needs helping you? Is harassment of immigrants with dissenting opinions helping you? Is slashing of Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and initiatives designed to make the country and world a better place helping you?

The purpose of the Trump Regime’s and Muskite Junta’s ex*****on of the un-American regressive “Project 2025” is to eliminate the federal government or, at least, weaken it s…

The United States is already falling behind in almost every important metric that matters to nominally first-world countries, like fighting disease, longevity, and infant mortality. But MAGA and the Muskite Junta are the contemporary functional equivalent to the decrepit socialist regimes of the 1980s eastern bloc.

From Trabants to Teslas.

You have to hand it to DOGE. There is no way the new Muskite Junta could have so quickly and “efficiently” accellerated from 1933 to 1937 without the help of “DOGE”. I mean,…

How's all that Project 2025 DOGE stuff working out for everyone?

Finally the grownups are in charge.

Wait this just in …

Hegseth reportedly assured chat participants that “we are currently clean on OPSEC” despite the accidental inclusion of a journalist.

Get ready for a golden age of dictatorial nihilism and oligarchical bu****it!

There were a thousand outrages that took place on Inauguration Day 2025, but one really cements several fundamental truths about contemporary American politics, and that is the blanket pardon of 1,…

Did you know that Donald Trump actually served a term as President before? You'd never know it by paying attention to the media or even the Harris campaign. Well, as it turns out, he was a sh*tty President and doesn't deserve a return to the White House.

We know Donald Trump is horrible as a person, but don’t forget that he was a sh*tty President, too. So bad that even his former running mate wants nothing to do with him. What an absolutely e…

In the choice between two Americas, which one will you pick?

There are two Americas right now. One is centered around a cultish strongman figure who promises retribution, violence, and dictatorial rule. His followers love him because he directs his vitriolic…

Gosh why is it that the Buffalo Diocese is looking to cut parishes by 1/3? Could it have to do with a fundamental disconnect between the things it does vs. the things it says? Or could it have to do with a fundamentally exclusionary and anachronistic way of handling change? I guess we'll never know.

What an interesting pair of headlines in Tuesday’s Buffalo News. Diocese cancels concert that includes gay chorus, cites values ‘inconsistent with Catholic teaching’ The Buffalo D…

Here, in two snapshots, is the difference between Nate McMurray getting his way vs. Nate McMurray not getting his way. It is an illustration of how Nate McMurray behaves when he is soliciting help for his campaign (March 2018) vs. Nate McMurray being his nasty, dishonorable, toxic self (right now).

Basic city services cost extra is the bottom line. I am old enough to remember all of the disingenous clamor from city hacks and suburban Republicans over how Comrade India Walton would turn Buffalo into Pyongyang-on-the-Niagara. Instead, Mayor Brown, now in his wildly unfortunate eighteenth year of office, is basically issuing threats to the people who elected him, demanding that they pay up if they expect the city to do its job.

If the plan had previously been for the city to just ignore residential streets for random and undefined periods of time after a snow event, then it was no plan at all – something a dose of Waltonese socialism would have been good for.

Neo-fascist MAGA weirdo seems poised to devour Mayor-Elect Brown in one swallow (YouTube) Mayor Byron Brown, whose name everyone “wrote down”, has declared that city residents expecting…

I wish someone would employ this person so he would finally free us from his various narcissistic manic episodes.

One highly-placed Democratic Party insider told me that “McMurray is a fabulist – a ginger George Santos.”

Except Santos was actually elected to Congress on his first try.

Let’s Fisk again, like we did last summer. (Actually, winter). OPEN LETTER FROM NATE: Making the Impossible Possible – 5,000 Signatures in Two Weeks You’ve likely been following the rec…

Now, we are tasked again with dealing yet another disordered Nate McMurray campaign. All of this background, which is tedious to review, is to underscore the fact that Nate McMurray’s descent from credible Democratic congressional candidate to professional Twitter narcissist has become quite tough to swallow. As someone who promoted and supported McMurray’s previous congressional races, I find it infuriating and difficult to witness his disingenous heel-turns against Zellner and Poloncarz last year, and his embryonic, ill-informed hatred of Tim Kennedy now.

McMurray pretends as if Tim Kennedy hadn’t been there all along. Now, he discovers who Kennedy is because Kennedy stands between McMurray and congressional seat to which McMurray feels entitled.

I have been very critical of Tim Kennedy in the past. In the Erie County Legislature, Kennedy simultaneously disgraced and promoted himself with his self-serving and short-sighted alliance with Chr…
