Dan Crawford sent me links to these two articles about Senate Judiciary Committee enforcer John Cornyn’s threat on Tuesday that he and his compadres will destroy the reputation of anyone nominated by Obama for Scalia’s seat. I responded to him after reading the articles: You know, Dan, this is so palpably, stunningly offensive that Sanders and Clinton need […]
John Cornyn Adopts Trump-Like Fascism Techniques. Good Job, Donald! [Updated.]
Oh, but Janell Ross, you promised to cite EXAMPLES of racist comments by Bernie Sanders. If you can’t actually deliver on that promise, then maybe a retraction of the racism allegation against him is in order? Just sayin’.
Folks, you really just have to read this for yourselves. Excerpting from it or summarizing it can’t possibly do it justice. Which is what it deserves.

I’m talking,” and, then, when Clinton again interrupted him, said “Wait a minute. Wait. Could I finish? You’ll have your turn, all right?” […]

Why the Refuge Protestors May Have Been Right
Protests have always been a part of America and this one at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge appears to be no different. Violence and the taking of life when it does not have to occur has also played a part in the protests. It was no different at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. In the past […]
To Honor Scalia
by Mike Kimel To Honor Scalia I’ve been thinking about the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
