The anti-Bernie blitzkrieg
The latest attempt by the media to smear Bernie Sanders is stating that Bernie "praised" Fidel Castro. NO. What Bernie did is point out to us that despite how bad Cuba was, there were positive elements that we could learn … Continue reading
If I lived in Iran, I’d hate us too
Swamp Rabbit wanted to know why Iran hates America, the beacon of democracy and the land of opportunity. “Just because,” I told him. Iran hates us just because we overthrew its democratically elected prime minister and propped up the corrupt … Continue reading

Happy Solstice + 6. (There’s light up ahead.)
