© Jen Sorensen As someone who has spent a large part of my life starting new businesses, I know that repealing Obamacare without replacing it with something better will make it difficult for people to leave their jobs (with their health insurance) and start new companies. This, in turn, will strangle our economy. As politicians […]

The Washington Post fact checker has started a new column just to check Trump’s tweets each week: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/ For the first installment, they check eight tweets from last week. New installments coming every week.
One bit of ironic news is that one of the major causes of our current national dysfunction, Fox News, is not doing very well. Roger Ailes, the creator of the greatest faux news propaganda machine in our nation’s history, is long gone. And now, Megyn Kelly has announced that she is leaving Fox News and […]
© Tom Tomorrow But, will 2017 be better than 2016? Will people finally get wise to Russian/Corporate/Republican false news? Will Democrats stop blaming other Dems for the loss and unify to achieve their common goals (and maybe in the process wake up, energized, and get a backbone)? Will people get tired of Trump’s terrible tweets? […]
Ethanol is a big deal in Iowa. Almost half the corn grown in Iowa is used for ethanol production, and Iowa produces almost 30% of all ethanol in the US. So it is not a big surprise that it was a big issue during the Iowa caucuses. Donald Trump came out swinging, claiming that Ted […]
Relieved that 2016 is almost over? How do you celebrate the passing of a year that nobody wants to remember? And how do you celebrate the start of a new year that will probably be even worse? How about with some new cocktails? © Brian McFadden Let’s just hope we make it through the next […]
I think the best solution is to keep pissing Donald Trump off as much as possible. He’ll stay up all night, every night, tweeting away. Keep him busy. Maybe that will minimize the damage from his presidency. I predict it won’t take too long for people to get tired of him, just like they got […]
© Brian McFadden I’m sure you can think of even better gifts! I hope everyone has a happy holiday, and I look forward to a better new year!
It started when progressives started donating money to Planned Parenthood in the name of VP-elect Mike Pence. Pence receives a thank-you note for every donation. Donations have surged 17 times their normal rate since the election. But why stop there? Many progressives are now making donations to other organizations in the names of their Trump-voting […]

With all this bad news lately, it is nice to have some good news. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that drug use among US teens has hit an all-time low. And that includes alcohol and tobacco. The drops in drug use are significant. For example, among 12th graders: Abuse of prescription pain […]
According to an analysis published in Mother Jones, in a word, no. Not a snowball’s chance in hell. Using the DW-NOMINATE system that ranks politicians by how liberal they are, nobody below 15 on their scale (meaning that they are less liberal than 15% of Congress) has ever won the presidency. Bernie Sanders scores a […]
There has been quite a bit of concern over Donald Trump’s conflicts of interest. Now, in Newsweek, Kurt Eichenwald gives specific examples of how this can cause really big problems. Like how a foreign leader could easily blackmail Trump. In fact, he even gives examples of how this is already happening: Donald Trump hasn’t been […]
