The Fires of Silent Hill

This one is personally important to me. You might even say critical.  Not too far from St. Louis Missouri there is an underground fire burning, below a landfill. Which is similar to the Silent Hill horror movies, but this is real.  Not very far away from the underground fires are mounds of dirt and waste debris

One Step Closer

If you look up some pictures of Trump speaking at a rally in Moon Township, PA.  Take a moment to notice the signs held by the women behind Trump. They said, “Make America Strong Again”. So instead of MAGA we have MASA. Pronouncing that out loud, you have “massah”. Which says it all about Trump

I hereby demand . . .

The rest of the title goes; “I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes — and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!”  This was the

All Hope Is Lost

Today Trump’s Communications Director, Hope Hicks announced she will resign in the next few weeks.  She has worked as an aide on the President’s staff longer than anyone else. The timing of her resignation is undoubtedly tied to her refusal to answer questions the previous day at a House Intelligence Committee hearing.  Specifically, Hope refused to answer

Putting It In Context

The news at the moment is flooded with the volleyball handling of the “dreamers”.  Those people who were brought into America illegally as children.  But that is not what I am here to discuss.  I am here to talk about the entire group of people who came into the United States illegally.  Mexico is by

Stephen Colbert, like a real genius

Thank you, Stephen.  You are one of the reasons I have any sanity left at all.  I’m sure the Republicans out there if you haven’t left yet are doubting that I have any. As hard as it is to believe I never heard of Colbert until he started taking pot shots at Trump.  Apparently, I

The Children’s Deaths Are on You

On February 28th, 2017 President Trump signed a bill into law which rolled back an Obama initiative aimed at keeping people with mental illness from buying guns.  Yesterday afternoon a teenager who had been expelled came back on campus with an AR-15 assault rifle and killed 17 people.  Nineteen-year-old Nikolas Cruz wounded another fourteen people.  Five of those have

Special Counsel Bob Mueller

To the critics of President Trump, Bob is in many ways the best hope to vacate Donal J. from the oval office.  To the Trumpers, he leads a witch hunt filled with a staff of biased individuals who will do anything to delegitimize Trump’s overwhelming victory.  Of all my posts, this one is probably the

Badger’s Crystal Ball

This post will be a bit different than most here.  Rather than the whole post being from a specific date, it will be a series of posts from different dates.  If I see something that makes me think I see a pattern developing, an eventual outcome or even just an incident that is likely to

The Oath

The President isn’t the only one who takes an oath.  Representatives and Senators upon taking office must swear, “I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
