Today I formally deleted my last two social media profiles: my Twitter & my Instagram. Why? Because I think the most effective way for me to communicate is to shut up online.

The title of this podcast episode says it all. Here I discuss the ways being single and alone is a beautiful thing.

The battle is over. The good guys won. There’s much work to be done. And it can’t be done if we remain focused on the past. Let’s move on from he who shall not be named.

Not every “women movie” or “black movie” is targeted toward women or blacks. Refreshingly enough, they make some of them so that even old white guys can enjoy them too.

I love & miss 1970s cinema. Many do. But FYI, it was also mostly white, male cinema. And — confession — today’s constant barrage of black & female-led movies only makes me miss 70s cinema more.

Republican politicians, just like police, have always believed that their powerful jobs give them the right to abuse. It’s time to accept this reality and start fighting back.

America needs to admit that most of the Trump supporters share one great affliction: They are stupid. Which also means America has a serious stupidity problem it has to fix ASAP.

When they arrested activist/nihilist/fake “journalist” John Sullivan in Utah yesterday for his role in the Capitol riot, it made me realize we need to still work hard to see one another as human beings first, not just party labels.

Cloaking your body in an American flag is actually a red flag that you’re un-American. The flag is not a costume or shield. It’s not a federal ID or badge. It gives you no claim to righteousness or truth. It’s not a free pass to hate, & it’s not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Thoughts on the Georgia run-off elections, the siege on the Capitol, and the need for a second impeachment of Trump.

America is struggling because we are the land of the dummies.

Unless you live in Georgia, or politics are your job, do yourself a favor and step away from politics for the next two months. Enjoy life. Be happy. Because it’s over. We defeated Trump. He’s finished. We saved the nation.

It used to be Republicans and Democrats engaged in a tug of war, but Republicans have turned it into a game of chicken, and for one main reason: They HATE us.

Pittsburgh should be proud, and Allegheny County deserves the most credit for winning Pennsylvania for Biden and evicting Trump from the White House. Here’s why.

Trump is going down, and the Democrats will control the House, Senate and the Presidency. Here’s why.

Yes, it’s disturbing that a solid 45% of the US would apparently be cool with Santa Clause being shot dead with an AR-15, but that means 55% still believe in common decency. So believe in America (still).

Ultimately, freedom/independence is the right to be left alone. But does the exercise of one’s freedom of speech/expression necessarily preclude a person’s ability to be left alone? I say no, it shouldn’t & doesn’t have to, & here’s why.

In today’s gospel, Jesus rebukes Peter as Satan for thinking like a man. But in the passage just prior, he praised Peter for thinking like God, even handing him the keys to the kingdom. So if even Peter was capable of two very different aspects in one — 2 halves in one man — in Trump’s chaotic, violent America, which half of Peter are you today? And what can you & I do each day to think more like God & less like men? PS I reversed the Defcon numbers. 1 is worst, 5 safest.

America’s politics are flawed, as are its churches, banks, schools, etc. However, America is reduced to madness, to nothingness, without its history of institutionalism. The American Way. The Constitution. Hope, itself. Save America, sure; save its institutions.
