Fickle Republican Jesus
Apparently Republican Jesus can’t make up his mind about Trump and Biden. And the signs related to each are confusing too. Ivonne Rovira lays it out for us.
What Putin REALLY wants
Time and again I hear people who should know better say that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wants to recreate the Soviet Union. Excuse me – his goal is much less modest.
The REAL head of the Republican Party
Every Repub out there will tell you that Trump is the head of the GOP. Ivonne Rovira has another take on it.
Abortion and the law of unintended consequences
When you pass laws, you risk unintended consequences. Here are three such consequences that are caused by the outlawing of abortion in Kentucky and nationwide.
“My granddaughters will have fewer rights than I did”
The decision to end Roe feels like what I would liken to the proverbial nail in the coffin of American democracy and a semblance of civil society.
Supreme grudge match
The Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe reveals the whims of a runaway radical court drunk on its newfound power and looking to pay back slights.

Yay! Even MORE guns, and more death! Three cheers for SCOTUS!
Another right-wing dream come to pass, courtesy of our right-wing Supreme Court.
