By Freelancer The Hard Times MINNEAPOLIS — Members of the Minneapolis Police Department disbanded yesterday to focus on their individual violent side projects, citing creative differences within the force and amongst city officials, a complicit spokesperson confirmed earlier today. “I was feeling stifled,” bemoaned Lt. Mark Kudlow. “Don’t […]
This is exactly what Mayor Ed Koch of New York said following the Tomkins Square Park riots in 1988. As I have always said, Trump is just a New York liberal, not a fascist.
If I were a writer of comedy or absurdist fiction, I don’t think I could come up with anything more ridiculous than the real-life society we actually live in.
“Another National Defense Authorization Act, another distraction. The media and politicians are going on and on about Confederate names and Republicans stripping a requirement to report foreign election assistance (bc it did so much to keep human rights abusing governments from influencing US dEmOcRaCy ). Meanwhile, the bill […]
This is probably the best idea for reducing police brutality/unnecessary killings, along with police state intrusions generally. Some libertarians/ancaps suggest replacing public police with private police. They have that in some areas of Latin America, and police are merely mercenaries for the rich (kind of like our public […]

If European leaders were sensible, they would have excluded Americans a long time ago. By Philip Blenkinsop Reuters BRUSSELS, June 26 (Reuters) – European Union countries failed to settle on Friday on a final “safe list” of countries whose residents could travel to the bloc from July, with […]
I once wrote a biographical essay on Emma Goldman that was used as an introduction to a reprint of one of her books. It’s still available. By Kim Kelly Teen Vogue On June 27, 1869, a little girl was born into a Jewish ghetto in a western corner […]
So what? That’s another $1.4b not in the hands of the feds. By Rich Gardella and Dartunorro Clark More than a million Americans who had died received COVID-19 stimulus payments totaling $1.4 billion, a government watchdog said in a report to Congress released Thursday. The finding is part […]
It seems fair enough. But this probably won’t work either. “Prince wrote songs with sexist lyrics and belonged to that creepy Jehovah’s Witness cult!” WatchtheYard.Com The debate over memorials and statues has become a hot topic in the US over the last two weeks. With the taking down […]
Carlson goes off his meds in this when he describes the rioters as the “armed militia of the Democratic Party.” But one thing he actually gets right is that the uprising is not just about racism, left-wing politics, George Floyd, or any of the other conventional talking points. […]
Manson, Jones, and….Trump?
This bimbo sounds like an Amber Guyger in waiting.
The Arthur Ashe statue is located a few blocks from my residence. So far we’ve seen not only a wave of vandalism of Confederate and Columbus monuments in the area but also the vandalism of a synagogue and now this. A lot of people in my neighborhood, from […]
This is a rather fascinating article, to say the least. A mainstream academic provides an overview of how the global capitalist empire, in which the American ruling class is the senior partner, actually functions. He points out how the social democratic and national populist opposition parties are fraudulent, […]
I see Asian immigrants, many of whom are medical students, wearing masks all the time, even for allergies and routine illnesses. Although the raucous individualism is actually one of the things about American culture that I like
By Vince There’s a youtube video circulating claiming that outlaw motorcycle clubs are heading to Seattle to fight Antifa. The video uses years-old footage and provides no evidence whatsoever. The founder of the Hells Angels confirmed that this was fake, saying that this will “never happen.” There are […]
The comments below the meme raise an important point. What is being hinted at in the protestor’s sign would not turn out well for blacks or whites or anyone else. Whatever one’s views on systemic racism, remember that it is called “systemic” for a reason, i.e. because the […]
Be sure to show Orange Man and Sleepy Joe the disrespect they deserve.
Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Composition Thomas Hobbes famously declared that even the worst despot is better than anarchy, this is the antithesis to the ATS position. No true anarchist is a Hobbesian or vice-versa. Yet, the emergence of anarchy entails a de-facto government and that came to light in […]
The Babylon Bee WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Trump commented on Abraham Lincoln’s performance last week, saying his actions for the black community were “OK, pretty good, but not great.” He then went on to promise that his civil war will be “even better” than Lincoln’s. “Lincoln did a lot of […]
Saager describes the appropriation of neo-Maoism by the left-wing of capitalism. Saagar Enjeti blasts liberals for using identity politics to bolster their narrative on a moral high ground.
The late great Oderus Urungus (Dave Brockie) was one of the first people I met when I moved to Richmond 33 years ago. By Ed Mazza Huffington Post Out with Robert E. Lee and in with… Oderus Urungus? A new petition is calling for a statue of the late […]
Another thing that I have found interesting about recent events is how many police chiefs and high-ranking police officials seem to be female. Just like Trump actually has a record-high number of female “national security” advisors (imperial privy councils), the first-ever female CIA director, and a lot of […]
“What part of ‘hold the mayonnaise’ did you not understand?” By Audrey Washington WSBTV Atlanta Protesters have taken to the streets of Atlanta for a third weekend after a dramatic 24 hours that saw the death of a black man at the hands of an Atlanta police officer […]
I never thought “COPS” portrayed police in a very favorable light. Mostly, it seemed to portray cops as ignoramuses and bullies. Maybe that was just my perception. The commentary in this is pretty good.
It’s not surprising this would happen in North Carolina. Footwashing is considered to be a sacrament (like Baptism or Eucharist) in some really, really low rent Protestant denominations (whose members are almost always poor whites or poor blacks). But it is interesting to see a practice that is […]
This image more or less tells the story of my life, although instead of saying, “Excuse me” I’ve just as often said, “Get the fuck out of my way.”
These FOX News dumbasses are so predictable. They spring into action right on cue, lol. Don’t worry, Greg. Your police state is safe. Like I said, the Prussian-inspired “progressives” merely want to have an army of social worker police. The real purpose of the welfare state has always […]
The most interesting thing that is going on within the state right now is the way in which the right-wing of the ruling class, represented by these traditional Republican scumbags like William Barr, are aligning themselves with Trump, while the Deep State proper is aligning itself with the […]
The Onion WASHINGTON—In response to continued unrest in the devastated region, Republican leaders reportedly claimed Thursday that New Yorkers would greet the United States military as liberators. “We have every reason to believe that the people of New York will welcome the American military as saviors,” said senator […]
That sounds like it could be a Weird Al Yankovic song.
Another modern sweatshop goes up in flames.

This is a considerable improvement over vandalizing historic landmarks and churches.
It’s interesting how many different teams of vandals and rioters have come out of the woodwork during the insurrection. By Julia Lurie, Mother Jones READ MORE
This happened a few blocks from my residence. There was also a synagogue vandalized in my neighborhood the other night. These kinds of things happen during civil unrest, and Confederate monuments are a long-standing target for obvious reasons. But attacking the artifacts of other tribes is a bad […]
How about “No Countries Matter”? The first problem with this idea is that many Americans have no clue about the political significance of July 4. They think it’s just another day to partying and set off fireworks. I know people like this myself.
“I don’t make the laws. I just enforce the laws. And I never said anything about actually obeying the laws.” By Katie Rice Orlando Sentinel ORLANDO, Fla. — A man running for election supervisor in Pinellas County is asking the Orange-Osceola state attorney to pursue charges against Derek […]
There are some anarchists who believe in voting for the “lesser of the evils” (although whom they consider to be the “lesser evil” is dependent on what kind of hyphenated anarchist they are). In 2016, I knew self-proclaimed “anarchists” who voted for Clinton, Trump, Johnson, Stein, Castle, the […]
