Here’s my Rachel Maddow-style wind-up. As Rachel would say, “Stick with me.” In the 1940s, movie stuntman and actor Dave O’ Brien became the primary focus of the hilarious one-reel comedies called Pete Smith Specialties. The hapless O'Brien would personify everyday nuisances: dealing with pests at the movies, demonstrating pet peeves, tackling hazardous home-improvement projects, and other problems with which the audience could identify. O'Brien's scenes were shot silent, compelling O'Brien to express his satisfaction or frustration entirely in visual terms as narrator Smith offered get-a-load-of-this commentary. O'Brien knew the format so well that he also directed many of the shorts, under the name "David Barclay." He staged many of the sight gags himself, taking stupendous pratfalls for the camera. Many of the laughs generated by the highly ironic voice overs were delivered by Smith himself. His somewhat nasal, matter-o...

Okay heads: prepare to hurt. So. The following people were bomb targeted:  Joe Biden, Maxine Waters, John Brennan, The Clintons, The Obamas, Robert DeNiro, George Soros and Eric Holder and just now Corey Booker. Also in the bomb’s path: CNN. Now if this was Sesame Street, whose target audience is the 2-4 pre-school crowd, and we all sang along to the song “What do all these people have in common?” even the first trimester fetus in mommy’s tummy could be heard yelling, “They are all people who Trump said are the enemy!!” Ah, but that is not what Trump is telling his minions.. To those who flock to his rallies and literally stand behind him, looking like an Alfred E. Newman family reunion, he is saying that it is the media that is at fault here.  They started it! So. Let’s play this out, shall we?   Let’s say that every single newspaper and TV news outlet have created, you know, the kind of vile hatred that Trump, Alex P. Jones, Rush LImba...

As of today, Trump is device president. Whether or not those bombs were planted by a Democrat or a Republican really does not matter. What matters is what provoked them to do it. Yesterday, a plot by two middle school girls, ages 11 and 12, who had brought knives to school to attack their fellow students, was foiled. Hold on to that image. We will return to it. For now, welcome to the Uncivil War, which in many ways is a direct descendent to the Civil War, which as of today, has still not ended. In this era where icons of the Confederacy have fallen, the new reconstruction is being created not by a visionary, but a leader unskilled in combat who is, in fact, a prime-time version of a passive-aggressive coward. Trump has never been in the construction business. He has been in the debt and destruction business which has always been fueled by spectacular feelings of uncontrollable impotence. He fighting tactics were taught to him by his mentor who was a self-loathing...

Lenin famously said that in order to achieve great power you need a willing idiot and that is exactly has happened at your expense. The Soviet Union has for years now not been a global superpower and that has driven Putin to murder and mayhem. For decades Trump has been a titanic business failure as evidenced by the recent New York Times expose on the Trump family tax fraud which was based on over 100,000 pages of evidence, which included tax records. The myth of Trump has fooled America for years when the truth is he has never succeeded at anything other than cashing inheritance checks to cover for his spectacular losses. Eventually no bank in the country would have anything to do with him, which is why, in a fit of desperation, he turned to the easy money offered to him by the Soviets who funneled laundered dirty money through Deutsche Bank to him and bought Trump properties which included his Scotland golf course and Trump Tower apartments. Trump also made huge deals wi...
