The Lyin’ King

© Phil Hands People are tired of politicians who will say anything to get elected, so they pick someone who will say anything to get elected, but who isn’t a politician. Doesn’t that make sense? UPDATE: Trump not only leads PolitiFact’s “Pants on Fire” brigade (a stunning 76% of his statements are Pants on Fire, […]

The Foxes Taking Over the Hen House

Donald Trump’s ally David Bossie has just won a four year seat on the Republican National Committee. Even though Trump is not yet the official nominee, his status as the presumptive nominee already gives him sway in the Republican party. So even if he loses the general election, he will influence our politics. Why is […]

The Candidate of Misinformation

A detailed analysis of voting during the Republican primaries shows that two of Donald Trump’s main claims – that he is bringing in new voters to the Republican party, and that he is even attracting Democrats to vote for him – are just lies and misinformation.

Voting Against Their Own Interests?

The New York Daily News (yeah, I know) has an interesting article, where they interviewed some Trump supporters. But these weren’t regular Trump supporters, they are members of groups that tend to not like Trump very much. Americans like women, Muslims, Blacks, Asians, Mexicans, and from India. People who have been insulted by Trump in […]

It is all about Money

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Some of us were hoping that once Donald Trump became the presumed GOP nominee, that the media would stop talking about him incessantly. But apparently, the media is as addicted to talking about Trump as ever. After being criticized for basically bankrolling Trump’s campaign by […]

Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from May 2, 2016] “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was on Saturday, and President Obama ended his speech by saying ‘Obama out’ and literally dropping the mic. Then Hillary Clinton caught the mic mid-air and said, ‘LET’S DO THIS!’” – Jimmy Fallon “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was this weekend. President Obama said it […]

Trump is Nothing Like Reagan

If you have read this blog for a while, you know that I love a good rant, and I recently read one. Paul Kengor, who has spent most of his life researching Ronald Reagan, including writing six major books about him, finally got fed up with people comparing Donald Trump to Ronald Reagan. The rant […]

Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from April 28-29, 2016] “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is tomorrow, and Bernie Sanders will be attending. You could tell Bernie Sanders was a guest at the dinner when they had to schedule it at 3 p.m. Bernie was like, ‘I’m going to start a revolution — at the dessert table!’” – Jimmy Fallon […]

Auditing Trump

Donald Trump is refusing to release his tax returns. He claims that it is because he is being audited by the IRS, but that argument doesn’t hold a drop of water. First of all, Trump has plenty of older tax returns that are not being audited, and he refuses to release those too. And second, […]
