With the exception of his mindless cheerleaders and coterie of sycophants, it is obvious to the world that Donald Trump has led the United States into a steep, perhaps irreversible, decline. His response to the Covid-19 crisis has only accelerated that process. And the public record, unlike Trump, does not

Politics and its Discontents: The Relentless, Indefatigable Chip Franklin
Most days I stop myself from reposting Chip Franklin’s hilarious screeds. Today is not one of those days. If you're a Trumper, and you think I'm a liberal doling out fake news, then make yourself a Clorox cocktail, get a few X-rays and book the next flight to Georgia. Let

Listening to Donald Trump prattle on is like bearing witness to the stream-of-consciousness ravings of a backward, depraved child: “And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute,” Trump said. “One minute! And is there a way we can do something, by an injection inside

The United States may be an empire in deep and irreversible decline, but it continues to excel in one area: comedy of the absurd. Its citizenry’s irrational antics amply serve both as entertainment to saner jurisdictions and sobering indictments of exactly how low the human animal can sink: Recommend this

The thuggish illegalities of Donald Trump are obvious for everyone to see. Everyone, that is, except for those inexplicable sludge marks on human rationality known as Trump devotees. Marie Yovanovich? Trump had Rudy intimidate her? She's been stationed in Somalia and Ukraine. Giuliani gets backed up eating a banana. https://t.co/i17FfR2vAx

While he will undoubtedly come under under intense criticism, all I can say is, Bravo, Michael McCain. I’m Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, and these are personal reflections. I am very angry, and time isn’t making me less angry. A MLF colleague of mine lost his wife and

I have written nothing about the Iranian missile that brought down the Ukrainian flight, frankly because I don’t know what to say beyond the fact that it is an immense tragedy, not only due to the loss of life but because of who was killed: primarily young people with their

Chip Franklin may be somewhat coarse, but he certainly has insights into the dysfunctional entity known as Donald Trump: Watching Trump's announcement in front of all those generals reminds of the kid who dresses up in his dad's clothes…ya know, and then kills 1000’s of innocent people pic.twitter.com/96LZ6dPqzA — Chip

As a Canadian, there are a number of things that cause me to feel ashamed: here in Ontario, it was the election of the dumb demagogue Doug Ford, while federally it has to do with my many fellow citizens who believe the government propaganda that we can have our climate-change

I generally like to operate my blog with a certain level of decorum and language. However, there are exceptions to that principle, which you will see in the following. I just discovered someone named Chip Franklin, an Ameican who operates a website called Inside The Beltway, which is described thus:

To the untutored and blunt mind, the world is black and white. Incapable of nuanced thinking, it apprehends things only as they immediately appear. While, as the old saying goes, a mind is a terrible thing to waste, when that mind resides in the President of the United States, it

While the Toddller-in-Chief continues with his temper tantrum, and the American government shutdown is now in its third week, it is good to know that unpaid federal workers are not being forgotten.

I don’t suppose it should surprise anyone that an egregiously incompetent President Trump has nominated as a federal court judge for Alabama the egregiously unqualified Brett J. Talley.
