THE OTHER SIDE: The United States v. James Comey (Part Two)

Until I started to go back and excavate this bit of recent history, I had no real idea of how unrelenting the attack on Comey was. And I thank Shakespeare for helping me to realize how deeply hate and resentment had penetrated Donald Trump’s being.

THE OTHER SIDE: The United States v. James Comey (Part One)

I cannot think of anyone, with the possible exception of Hillary Clinton and a rabid MAGA minority, who would choose to waste valuable time and money going after a distinguished former FBI director rather than serial killers, school shooters, and multi-million- and multi-billion-dollar scam artists.

THE OTHER SIDE: The war against Abrego Garcia and Judge Boasberg

This is a story about tyranny, and about how those in power end up having to rely on deception and violence to maintain and extend that power, to protect that privilege.

THE OTHER SIDE: ‘Forgettance’ — Forgetting January 6

Yes, forgettance obliterates accountability.

THE OTHER SIDE: The return of Doctors Trump and Kennedy

Like Donald Trump, Kennedy has managed to convince many that he is a crusader dedicated to making life better for them. But like Donald Trump, Kennedy makes himself a hero at the expense of truth.

THE OTHER SIDE: The war at home — Chicago

If you do not know what is really happening, if you are not aware of Operation Midway Blitz, you probably cannot really appreciate the deep trauma the immigrant community is experiencing.

THE OTHER SIDE: One if by land

Now, in case you have been waiting for the sign—yes, The Sign, not just any sign but your Paul Revere moment—well, I’m here to tell you the light is shining in the tower, and in the alternate universe where we all care deeply about tyranny, Paul Revere is riding this way.

THE OTHER SIDE: Pam Bondi — the worse, not the better

On Oct. 7, 2025, Pam Bondi appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for their oversight hearing. I do not think I have ever seen such a sustained and arrogant performance by a public servant.

THE OTHER SIDE: Firing the better, not the worse

Tragically, the shortsighted, twisted agenda of the MAGA-Project 2025 alliance continues.

THE OTHER SIDE: Lawlessness and disorder — the Comey indictment

The indictment of Jim Comey is, in fact, the ultimate act of the immoral politicization and weaponization of governmental power, and Patel’s FBI and Bondi’s Department of Justice and the president himself are all co-conspirators.

THE OTHER SIDE: Lawlessness and disorder

Tom Homan knows he has been brought back to bring us law and order, and he is completely unapologetic about taking kids from their “illegal” parents.

THE OTHER SIDE: The Ghislaine Maxwell/Donald Trump cover-up (Part Four)

Not only have Donald Trump, Todd Blanche, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and the MAGA majority in Congress betrayed their voters, they have publicly stabbed the Epstein-Maxwell victims and survivors in the back.

THE OTHER SIDE: The Ghislaine Maxwell/Donald Trump cover-up (Part Three)

We are, sadly, living in a time of lies, when truth seems an endangered species. I, like so many others, wonder when the House of Lies that Trump has built over so many years will collapse upon itself.

THE OTHER SIDE: The Ghislaine Maxwell/Donald Trump cover-up (Part Two)

I believe it is so very important to see for yourself how Todd Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell are re-writing history, prisoner and prosecutor together weaving a web of deceit and distraction.

THE OTHER SIDE: The Ghislaine Maxwell/Donald Trump cover-up (Part One)

With the categorical claim that there was nothing to be learned from the departed Jeffrey Epstein or the voluminous files, the focus turned to the convicted Ghislaine Maxwell and, with it, the compelling need to figure out what she might say.

THE OTHER SIDE: DEI — The heartbeat of America

History will record how easy it can be to tap into bias and fear and anger and transform frustration into hating the other, despising and distrusting those immigrants who made a similar journey to find a better life just like our grandparents.

THE OTHER SIDE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s phony case against mRNA

In yet another episode of Trumpian deceit and stupidity, the supremely arrogant Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is poised to deliver untold harm to so many
