The March for Our Lives Matters. They ALL do,


These marches matter.

They show Washington how many voters they should be concerned with in November. There are voter registration rallies during these marches. Coalitions are being built to mobilize GOTV for mid-terms. The media coverage magnifies the range of the movement and kids messages are carried on the airwaves, dramatically increasing their reach. There are MILLIONS of High school-aged kids who will be eligible to vote in the Fall. This march gives them a single issue to rally around.

Seeds are being planted today. The flowers come in the Fall. You might as well claim that the March on Washington didn't do anything. Except that the Civil RIghts Act was signed months later.

Media and images have power. It's basically Fox News' ENTIRE leverage.

If y'all think these kids are going off their mission, you're confused. They have hit EVERY single target they've set since this started.

They organized and mobilized a march in DC in FOUR WEEKS. Hundreds of thousands in one city alone, and millions more across the country... and this isn't even their first march (nor their last). They already have a march ready for the Columbine anniversary (4/20).

Politicians are cowards. The House is getting shook. Trump's influence is waning as his scandals pile up. The NRA coffers aren't enough to counter the untold millions in FREE coverage that these kids are generating... and they know it.

They are leveraging EVERY SINGLE TOOL they have in their control. And now their parents are in the game. Retailers have dropped the weapons. Florida has passed legislation. The March is icing. The moves are working and will continue to do so.

November is coming.

The Two Parties are NOT the same.

Thinking about the differences between the Dems and the Trump. Trump is promising "America First" jingoism without delivering anything but racism, while riding the economic tide of his predecessor. Consider what the Dems have been DEMANDED to fix. 1) Healthcare for all Americans 2) Student loan relief 3) A workable immigration solution 4) $15 min. wage and/or guaranteed income 5) Incremental gun regulation 6) Protecting the environment 7) Iran nuclear treaty 8) Thwarting Russian election interference 9) Reparations 10) Lowering taxes for middle class 11) Raising taxes for the 1% 12) Improving K-12 education 13) Rolling back Citizens United 14) Protecting Roe v. Wade 15) A satisfying DC Cinematic Universe (why not?) It's perfectly fine to be in your feelings if you are upset that this country is so f*cked that your particular issue is not being trumpeted by all (or any) of the Democratic primary candidates. It's even OK if you feel that the cur...

Open Letter to GOP recruiters

To whom it may concern: I am a telegenic, articulate, working, married father of two who owns his own house and a small business. Before you come knocking on my door, there are a few ground rules. Rule No. 1 No discussion of "The Party of Lincoln" without claiming Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms too. I know American history well enough, thank you. I also know that Thurmond was only a Democrat until the party decided to stand up for the rights of Black people. Then he jumped ship (while denying his own half-Black daughter) and led the drive to keeping a strong segregated state. Leave Lincoln in his grave (besides, we both know he didn't really emancipate very many don't we?) Rule No. 2 Liberal is not a bad word. It does not mean that Democrats love big government and spending tax dollars foolishly. That's Bush's job. Nor does it mean that I have been stroked and manipulated by a Leftist cabal that wants to think for me. Convince me on the merits of what YOU ...

An open letter to Bob Johnson

BJ... phi... bruh... Your tirade about Barack Obama is appalling. You earned your billion on the backs of ass-slapping videos, blaxploitation reruns and informercials and you have THE GALL to talk about being "insulted" that "we are so stupid?" Back at you, dawg. Incidentally, NOT ONE PERSON was confused about your thinly veiled reference about Obama's days "in the neighborhood." It was pathetic when the recently dismissed Clintonian flak floated it out there. Coming from you, it's traitorously venomous. We were smart enough to avoid buying tickets to "Who's Your Caddy?" and we're smart enough to understand your half-assed attempt at a smear. By the way, if you're going to "go there," have the balls to own up to it. Your backtrack about referring to his days as an organizer is even worse than the smear. Are we to understand that Obama's grass roots community leadership is somehow less legitimate than the...
