George Santos Has No Reality

This is why he is ideally suited for today’s Republican Party — One of the challenges of writing about current events is the shelf life of the content — the prospect that the work will be out of date by the time it reaches the audience. This is one of those pieces, or so I thought. It should be long out of…

The Battle for Ukraine Is Our New Shared Reality

But for some, this unity must be stopped — Remember January 6th, when Fox News couldn’t decide if the people raiding the Capitol were Antifa, patriots, or tourists? It presented a serious ratings challenge that required numerous backflips to maintain the own-the-libs narrative demanded by their audience. When it was over, what remained of their “legitimate political discourse” was…

The Battle for the Soul of America Is a Battle of Realities

And it begins with understanding today’s Republican Party — In addition to being plagued by a plague, America suffers from what I’ve so often referred to as Problem #1 — the reality that we no longer have a shared reality. …

The New Republican Ideology: Owning the Libs

As my regular readers know, I have long emphasized that all of America’s major dysfunction is rooted in what I have referred to as “Problem #1” — the reality that we are divided by alternate realities. …

The Republican Party Needs a Rabbit

And there’s only one man who can do it — I am a Democrat, and in 2024, assuming he is still alive, I will vote for Joe Biden. Ideologically, I am a liberal progressive who believes in the value and capabilities of a robust and competent government as the best approach to delivering the greatest good to our country. But…

The Destruction That Fox News Has Wrought

A preliminary damage assessment — Those of you who have followed me in the past know that I have long harped on what I believe is “Problem #1” facing our country — the reality that we no longer have a shared reality. The prospects for addressing our most daunting challenges as a nation would be…

Will they survive the flood? — With the conclusion of the midterm elections, it appears that the hyper-capitalist Division-Industrial Complex — a loose alliance dominated by Fox News and other right-wing media outlets — has hit a bump in the road. That bump is what we might humbly refer to as “reality”. As I’ve noted in…

Putin’s Power and Why It Won’t Last

For Vlad, winter is coming — “Pretty good for a Russian,” said Dmitry, my Russian client/colleague. It was 2005 and I was working with him in Moscow on the then embryonic bid for Sochi, Russia to host the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. …

The U.S. Needs to Carpet Bomb Russia With the Truth

The Western world has yet to unleash its most lethal weapon — Problem #1 in America, and now in the world, is stunningly simple and ever more obvious: It is the reality that we have multiple realities. All of our other problems, rooted as they are in controversial issues, can be traced back to the single challenge of competing realities. …
