With RussiaGate Over Where’s Hillary?
During most of the RussiaGate investigation against Donald Trump I kept saying that all roads lead to Hillary Clinton. Anyone with three working brain cells knew this, including 'Miss' Maddow, whose tears of disappointment are particularly delicious. Robert Mueller's investigation was designed from the beginning to create something out of nothing. It did this admirably. … Continue reading With RussiaGate Over Where’s Hillary?
Blackmail, Balderdash and the Brexit that Wasn’t
After a lot of drama, British Prime Minister Theresa May came back from Brussels with a breakthrough on Brexit. Only it wasn't.

They have ratcheted up Project Fear to the point now of saying there will be food shortages and permanent supply problems for fresh fruit if a hard … Continue reading Brexit Iceberg, Dead Ahead

Brexit Hinges on What Theresa May is Thinking
It's come down to this on Brexit. Who is Theresa May actually working for? The People? Or the unelected oligarchy I call The Davos Crowd? If it's the former then May had a very good week. Her terrible deal went down in flames, but she knew this would happen. She then invited her opposition, Jeremy Corbyn of … Continue reading Brexit Hinges on What Theresa May is Thinking
