“It is Only a Matter of Time Before a More Competent Trump Emerges”

What’s Going on in the World Right Now

Riot on the Hill
Another leftist take on the Capitol incident. By Mike Davis Yesterday’s ‘sacrileges’ in our temple of democracy – oh, poor defiled city on the hill, etc. – constituted an ‘insurrection’ only in the sense of dark comedy. What was essentially a big biker gang dressed as circus performers […]
