One Year After Uvalde, America Is Still Plagued With Daily Gun Murders As parents, it is our job to protect our children from harm: to teach them what is dangerous, how to be safe, and things like ‘don’t go swimming after you eat.’ All parents know these things, and instill them in their children. Yet we are still miserable failures. And yes, I’m talking to each and every one of you American parents. And yes, I include myself in this. We send our children off to the store, to church, to school, and what happens: they get slaughtered by a…

Tim Sabo has been writing mostly about politics and history--and how the two intersect--for the past five years. He believes we as citizens know too little about our past, and are too easily led to repeat many of the mistakes of those who came before us. He has written various lengths of written work, from one minute quickies to pieces that take hours to complete. Tim's work is diverse because that is the world we live in: "what intrigues me is life." He is working on multiple books, and spends time not writing pretending to be a landlord. Married with children. One cat.
It Benefits McCarthy’s Benefactors, the Rich White Men Who Paid To Put Him in This Position Kevin McCarthy, R-CA, Speaker of the House, is just itching to wreck this economy. Here are just a few of the reasons. First, it benefits McCarthy’s benefactors, the rich white men who paid to put him in this position. They will reap huge financial gains if the economy crashes – don’t worry, their money is safe overseas. Crashing the economy through a battle over the debt ceiling will crash the stock market, raise interest rates, and destroy the “full faith” investors have in the…
Who Are They For, Really? Here we go again: the demoralizing routine of another mass shooting in America. The murders, the news reports, the body count, the police making a public statement, the pictures of victims, the crying family members. And the inevitable ‘thoughts and prayers’ from cowardice politicians. Through the years, we have seen an endless stream of ‘thoughts and prayers’ offered by politicians who feel compelled to offer some form of condolences to the families whose lives have been ripped apart. Here is a stream of ‘thoughts and prayers’ compiled by The Daily Show. It seems like the…
Goodbye, and Good Riddance: America Will Not Miss You In the old Christian spiritual, the words sing out like praise: “Soon and very soon, We are going to see the King, Soon and very soon, We are going to see the King. Soon and very soon, We are going to see the King, Hallelujah, hallelujah, We are going to see the King.” From the lyrics, it is clear that the followers are living for the day when they can see their King. Well hang on now, because it won’t be long. This week, five members of the Proud Boys were…
How Their Lies Have Dehumanized Millions of the Faithful By now, you are aware of the Dominion/Fox News defamation case. You know about the depositions, the emails, and the text messages that clearly showed the hosts of Fox News lied repeatedly over the course of months. They lied about Dominion and they lied about SmartMatic. They permitted hired liars Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell and others to come on their shows repeatedly and lie about the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election. And you know about Fox leadership: all the way up to the top of the dung heap known…
Yesterday, Six Americans Were Murdered by Another Gun-toting Maniac 130. To date, we have had 130 mass shootings so far this year. A mass shooting is a shooting where at least four people are shot. Now, do you wanna get sick? Based on the data collected over the past seven years, it is fair to estimate that America will have another 500 mass shootings this year. 500. That’s at least another 2000 Americans getting shot this year. Many of those will die. Many will be children. No doubt, many will be children in a classroom somewhere. Someone out there reading…
How the Lies of Trump and Fox News have caused lasting pain One-thousand. That is the number of defendants who have now been charged in the January 6 insurrection at the U.S Capitol. One-thousand. It has been estimated that as many as ten-thousand American citizens came to Washington D.C. on January 6th (2021): ten-thousand who responded to Donald Trump’s call to stop the election of Joe Biden. On that day, thousands of American citizens, believing they were obeying the orders of the President of the United States, responded to the nation’s capital to stop a stolen election. They believed the…
