Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
The Epstein files are not just a sex scandal. They are a case study in how male vanity, power, and appetite make supposedly smart men easy to compromise, blackmail, and own. iPINIONS asserts that Clinton’s deposition, Gates’s excuse, and the survivors’ demand for justice all point to the same rotten truth. Read my full take… Read more.
As Epstein’s silent accomplice faces a congressional subpoena, the real question isn’t who Maxwell might expose… but how she’s using Congress to play her own twisted game. iPINIONS suspects powerful men like Bill Clinton are sweating bullets — while Trump schemes to cut his own deal.

US abandons Haiti It’s not quite as desperate as the way the US abandoned Vietnam or as chaotic as the way it abandoned Afghanistan. But the way the US is abandoning Haiti is even more shameless and unconscionable. The Department of State warned in a statement of a high threat of violent crime and kidnapping throughout the [country]. It… Read more.
Lewis Hamilton passed title rival Sebastian Vettel to take a dominant victory in the United States Grand Prix but will have to wait at least one more race to win his fourth world championship.

During the mid-1990s, I was one of many worker bees at the D.C. headquarters of the Clinton-Gore Re-Election ’96 campaign. We all buzzed around trying to seem relevant to the political ambitions of the most powerful man in the world. Yet even I saw enough of the compromises and sacrifices (of self and others) Bill… Read more.
My commentaries will attest that I’m no fan of Bill and/or Hillary Clinton. And, frankly, the way they used and abused Monica Lewinsky – complete with Hillary slut-shaming her as a “narcissistic loony toon” – is the least of it. They have done far worse to far more important people. Remember Lani Guinier? But I… Read more.
I am fond of saying that I have as much love and admiration for Mandela as any non-South African could. But my record of political activism and published commentaries (dating back decades) bears this out. This is why I am so seized with contempt for those who appear to have acquired more love and admiration… Read more.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) was founded in 1985 to promote the image of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the media.
