The Truth about Trump

Carlos De Oliveira is in hot water. Why does that matter? Because Senior de Oliveria worked for Senor Donald Trump at his golf club and residence known as Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

Telling the FBI a lie can get you several years of prison time-unless- unless-unless you give them something that's a lot larger than your presence in a prison. If you have valuabl...

The Truth About Fascism

I think it's time we started telling the truth about Fascism. Fascists have always talked about fighting for freedom. But that's always been their largest lie. Their idea of freedom is having maximum power over all public & private enterprise - and that means all state or provincial government, all local government is neutralized and neutered - no real power except to carry out orders for the central authority. In Canada's that's Ottawa. In the US that's Washington. Red Blue State stuff beco...
