John Kasich Will Run in 2020–His Mouth, That Is
One would have to be a king-sized fool to think he’ll actually do it. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, appearing alongside former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as he mulls a primary challenge to President Donald Trump, said Wednesday that the Republican Party has “never been my master” and that “all of my options are on the […]

It’s Always Foolish for Progressives and Democrats to Fall for “Bipartisanship”
It has to be considered one of the biggest “WTF” stories of the young year: Teamsters Local 25, the powerful [labor] union that represents more than 11,500 Massachusetts workers and that backed the Democratic nominee for governor in 2014, endorsed Republican Governor Charlie Baker for reelection Thursday. “He’s proven to be a great steward for […]

Even More Nonsense from John Kasich

Kasich would have to have an IQ lower than Trump’s to do such a thing–and I don’t think the […]

Trump’s Voters Are Responsible for Killing the Paris Climate Agreement

John’s Con: The Fourth Estate Glorifies a False Moderate
When will they stop putting John Kasich on television and radio? Never, it seems. The Ohio Governor has the Fourth Estate eating out of his hand as he promotes his destined-for-the-discount-bin new book, Two Paths: America Divided or United. (MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was particularly fawning last week.) It’s hard to remember the last time a […]

Angels in America
Blessed are the protesters. And the attorneys. And the mayors and governors… Remember when the right-wing malcontents went after Michelle Obama in 2008 when she declared, “[F]or the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country”? Well, for the first time since January 20, 2017, Americans of conscience and compassion […]
