Nancy Pelosi Has Bigger Balls Than Donald Trump
Nancy Pelosi is a firecracker. The long-time politician, Congresswoman, and former House Majority leader has had enough of Donald Trump’s shit. I adore this lady.

President Biden’s pardon of thousands with federal marijuana possession charges is a smart political move because keeping a campaign promise might add Democratic votes.

Republicans Who Love Weed, Thank Joe Biden
Just like so many of us who support the federal legalization of marijuana and cannabis-related products, our president Joe Biden feels the same. He issued federal pardons yesterday for all prior federal offenses for simple possession of marijuana.

I’m Switching to the GOP and Running For President
I’m officially fed up. I’m tired of the loudest, whiniest people in politics always getting their way. They piss and moan, and complain about being “persecuted” for their religious and political beliefs.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Husband is Over Her Shit
Perry Greene has finally pulled the plug on his marriage to nutcase Marjorie Taylor Greene. I’m not sure what the final tipping point was, but take your pic. This woman is a dumpster fire out of control in the back of a Walmart loading dock area. She’s truly a garbage human.

Eugene Jarecki and the American Way of War
With Americans dreaming that change begins and ends on Pennsylvania Avenue, Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki provides the real home address of its implementation and gives definition to what the word should mean to Americans thinking about living there. With the release of his new book, "The American Way of War," he said politicians need an "unrelenting mandate" from us to face down the threat President Eisenhower prophesied in his farewell address on the Military Industrial Complex.

"I am not a dictator, I just have a grumpy face"
The phrase from the title above is rightly attributed to the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. During his reign, he implemented a brutal regime, which was advised on economical issues by the prominent school of Chicago, a known advocate of capitalism and creator of neo-liberal ideology. His regime was praised openly by politicians like Margaret Thatcher and economists like Milton Friedman. With many neo-liberal politicians still being nostalgic of the policies of his era. Milton Friedman explained in one of his interviews that even though he is not a fan of dictatorial regimes, he called the case of Pinochet's Chile as a success story of economic reforms. While he was also organizing meetings with general Pinochet and even teaching classes at that time in Chile. A military Junta which ended 150 years of democracy and overthrew the democratically elected leader at that time,Allende . A regime that imprisoned and tortured thousands of students, politicians and artists, was implementing radical policies of a capitalist economy. And if someone is sceptical about the level of authoritarianism in Chile at that moment, remember the appalling scene of the World Cup organized Chile, next to prisons, in which political dissidents were tortured with the most barbaric of methods. With their voices of despair covered by the cheers of the crowd. Pinochet, under the influence of the free-market-oriented "Chicago Boys", implemented a capitalist economic model, with the removal of taxes for big private corporations and the privatization of social security and hundreds of state enterprises, along with the privatization of the pension system and the independence of the national central bank. Apart from that, his regime was also known for its amount of corruption between the authoritarian leadership and the private sector(Pinochet's Economists the Chicago school of economics in Chile -The Pinochet's Case, 1998). Fortunately for the people of Chile, the capitalist regime came to an end. Pinochet’s dictatorship, will be a timeless example of how a brutal regime became the favourite guinea pig for radical capitalist policies.

The Divided States of America
I’ve been theorizing for a while now that the United States of America is never going to be united again. Or at least any time soon. I feel that a name change and some logistics may be in order soon. The Divided States of America seems more accurate and realistic here in 2022.

Ending the Tyranny of Mitch McConnell
» KEY POINTS Certain members of Congress over time have given themselves an un-Constitutional unchecked power to control the entire legislative process. All of that power has eroded cooperation, debate, collaboration, compromise, civil discourse, and the general functionality of the federal government. The only way to remove that power is to amend the Constitution, enforce a legislative methodology, and severely punish those who try to circumvent the rules for personal or Party gain.
I’d Rather Hang Out in an Echo Chamber
Being a veteran of social media for the past 16 years, I’ve run into so many different types of people. I used to think that Jim Morrison was right when he sang that “People are strange” in his classic song of the same title. This never became more evident than after I joined and actively participated in social media.
