The Quisling at 1600
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2024 (Mar. 29, 2024) — The characterization of Brandon as “the slug at 1600” does not adequately describe him. A potential better term might be the “quisling slug at 1600.” Accordingly, a new, abbreviated moniker for the current occupant of the Oval Office is suggested: “the q-slug,” pronounced: “cue-slug.” The term “quisling” […]

Since […]

by Joseph DeMaio, ©2023 (Jul. 18, 2023) — As noted here, earlier this year Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai formed an exploratory committee to “test the waters” for a run as an Independent for president and is now a full-fledged candidate as reflected in Federal Elections Commission (FEC) filings.

Information, Misinformation, Ipse Dixit and Censorship
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2023 (Apr. 22, 2023) — Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley recently posted an article pointing out the draconian censorship path upon which Great Britain is descending. It is a short, but ominous read. The censorship of free speech in England is plumbing new depths of lunacy and malevolence…, and yet Hillary (“BleachBit? […]

The Brownshirt Brandonistas
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2022 (Aug. 28, 2022) — Brandon recently fulminated that President Trump and Republicans supporting him are “semi-fascists” who are purportedly “full of anger, violence, hate, and division.” He added, falsely (what’s new?), that Democrats “have chosen a different path forward, the future, unity, hope and optimism.” In fact, the only path and […]
