This is incredible, wonderful! A time to be very proud!

Phil Griffin will step down after 25 years at the cable news channel.

This article is correct. Now don’t get your knickers in a crunch, read this post! Heed it, and stay the course. This is our last chance!

Some people haven’t learned anything in four years. One of the most disconcerting trends I see on social media right now, is a continual dissemination of polls, statistics, and trends supposedly showing Joe Biden building an expansive lead over Donald Trump. They’re usually proffered by progress...

Get with the program!

Yesterday, I stumbled into a war zone. A friend of mine was being besieged on social media by a furious crossfire of rapid-fire vitriol from a disparate army of toddler moms and dudebros, in full-throated outrage because she’d had the stratospheric gall to post an article about the merits of weari...

John Pavlovitz speaks to the universal pain that permeates the country today. We are in a war that we must win. It is horrible, what the can of worms that we have opened on ourselves has presented to us. But this is not the time to falter. Now is the time to stand for our values. I love people. I love my sons and their mates. I fiercely love my wife, without whom my world would be much, much darker. I have learned to smile through the momentary encounters with the angry and close minded. I have ceased to argue the issues so much as to try to truly see the source of pain that I encounter. I smile, I engage pleasantly, I listen. I am fast approaching my 80th Birthday. I smile.

John Pavlovitch speaks to some hard truths.

Sunday is coming. Soon, millions of Americans will find themselves in the houses of worship that dot nearly every corner of this country; disparate buildings where they’ll gather under the guise of religion, of faith, of goodness. Whether set in trappings that are ancient or modern, filled with po...

"This is an acknowledgement that Republicans' original tax plan was heavily skewed to the wealthy, the middle got almost nothing, and people at the bottom got literally nothing."

This is what it is all about.

Comic books have lied to all of us. Heroism isn’t capes and costumes. It doesn’t come from radioactive spider bites or metal suits or gamma rays or distant planets. It isn’t found in cavernous caves, palatial compounds, or hi-tech floating cities. It isn’t wielding tricked out all-terrain ve...

We must stop this cretin from being named and confirmed to a lifetime appointment to the court one step below the Supreme Court.

Rachel Maddow shares passages from a law journal article by Donald Trump federal court nominee Steven Menashi in which he argues democratic countries work better when everyone in the same ethnicity.

So sad, but so true.

Over eighty percent of white evangelicals (many of them women) voted for Donald Trump in 2016, less than two weeks after video surfaced of him speaking with historic vulgarity about women. It would begin a pattern that would be repeated countless times in subsequent months, right up to this present....

Democratic freshman Congresswoman Debra Haaland of New Mexico reacts to the racist attacks from the president on four of her colleagues on Capitol Hill.

We know what we have to do. We WILL DO IT!

The big problem with impeachment? The Republican Party is in the bag with the Trump family syndicate instead of our country.
