The Art of the Photo-Op: Trump, Zelenskyy, and the Global Summit That Was Basically a Calendar Invite
Today in Washington, history was made. Not the good kind, not the kind they etch in marble or even scribble in textbooks. No, today was the kind of history where Donald Trump hosts Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a rotating cast of European leaders at the White House, declares it “a very good early step,” and then

Pompoms, Politics, and the Fragile Masculinity of the 50-Yard Line: On the NFL’s Male Cheerleader Panic
It’s 2025, and the NFL has finally decided that maybe, just maybe, a man in sequins yelling “Defense!” won’t unravel the fabric of Western civilization. Twelve teams—including the Vikings and Patriots—are adding male cheerleaders to their squads this season. A gesture toward gender equality, sure, but also, apparently, a trigger for every uncle in America

When Democracy Gets a Make-over: Trump’s Executive Order to Cancel Voting
At long last, the White House has announced a new wellness initiative: an executive order banning mail‑in and electronic voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. Why? Because our hero (in designer suits) says elections are haunted by “massive fraud”—without evidence, but with extra flourish. He’s calling it the “MAIL‑IN BALLOT HOAX” and wants us back

The Comedy Coup: South Park, Trump, and the Paramount Problem
America has always needed its court jesters. Kings and presidents come and go, ruling with pomp, paranoia, and paranoia dressed up as policy. But the jester—the clown with a knife behind the punchline—never leaves. In 2025, that jester wears a Colorado beanie, carries a construction paper sign, and is contractually obligated to Paramount+ for $1.5

Nicolle Wallace, Trump’s New Nemesis: When “MSNBC IS DEAD!” Becomes a Campaign Platform
It always starts the same way with Donald Trump: a half-formed grunt of a post, a cryptic one-word drop (“Bela”), and then the digital jackals descend. A follower serves up a meme, Trump slaps his digital stamp of approval on it, and suddenly we’re all trapped in the world’s saddest reboot of Mad Men, except

Trump, Putin, and the Great Peace That Isn’t
There’s a reason dictators love photo ops. Nothing says “progress” like two men at a podium refusing to answer questions while the world burns just outside the frame. The Aug. 15 Alaska summit was billed as historic. Spoiler: it wasn’t. There was no ceasefire, no agreement, no breakthrough. Just Trump beaming like a middle schooler

When the Crime Rate Falls, Call in the Troops
Washington, D.C. is enjoying its lowest violent crime levels in over thirty years. The data says so: a 35% drop in 2024, another 26% decline so far in 2025. Homicide is down. Robbery is down. Carjackings are down. The FBI and DOJ dashboards are practically waving at us with little “congratulations, you survived the nineties”

Democracy, Sushi, and the Border Patrol: A California Tragedy in Three Acts
This wasn’t just an optics mess. It was the full collision of American contradictions: California progressivism on stage, federal authoritarianism in the wings, and a museum built on history’s wounds forced into a cameo role. But Newsom understood the assignment. Trump may love chaos, but Newsom knows how to surf it. And on that plaza…

“Next Time in Moscow” – The Odd Couple Show Hits the Road
The American dream used to be about freedom, democracy, and self-determination. Now it’s about whether two aging strongmen can cosplay geopolitics while the real war grinds on. If there was ever proof that the circus has replaced the Senate, it’s this summit. The world doesn’t need another season of Despot Idol. What it needs is…

The American Dream Was Always an HOA Scam
The American Dream was never a promise; it was a performance. A stage set that looked believable until the lights flickered and the backstage was exposed—cheap plywood, unpaid labor, and a cast list missing half the country. MAGA wants to dim the lights again, to sell the illusion one more time. But illusions don’t pay…
