The Republic is Dead
Our republic is dead. Of course it’s been dead for a long time. We just didn’t know. We bought into the bullshit that Hollywood sold that it was possible for regular people to make real change in America. But it’s not possible. Our government has been infected now by a tight, dense web of connected…

Big Mike’s Christmas Letter
Dear Big Mike, In the spirit of the holiday season and the brand of Jesus Christ you admire, I’d like to kick your ass and punch your head into nothingness; however, since such an event is unlikely, this epistle must suffice.

Is Trump a Fake
Is Trump for real, or is he a fraud? I voted for the guy, but what has he really done? Has he fixed healthcare? My premiums are still going up; how about yours? Has he locked Hillary up? Remember the refrain, “Lock her up!” Has he gone after Hillary? If Jeff Sessions won’t, why doesn’t…

Fixing Camden
Camden apparently is lost. Chris Hedges, an author on American values, has given up on it. No industry exists in Camden except crime and drug consumption. The people are there, but hope is gone. Fortunately we don’t need hope. We don’t need positive thinking either, or slogans, or “We Care” buttons. What’s needed in Camden…
