CNN spent years feeding off MAGA trolls for ratings. iPINIONS contends that now, with the Trump-aligned Ellisons looming as new owners, the network may be forced to become the very propaganda machine it once scorned.

On MLK Day, Donald Trump isn’t honoring MLK’s legacy; he’s dismantling it. From scrubbing MLK Day and Juneteenth from the National Park Service calendar, to whitewashing American history under an Orwellian “sanity” order, to weaponizing DEI bans as grievance-driven affirmative action for Whites, Project 2025 amounts to a full-scale rollback of civil rights. iPINIONS damns… Read more.
The Philadelphia Art Museum just fired CEO Sasha Suda for daring to make its walls look like the city it represents. iPINIONS decries how liberal pearls became MAGA hats in disguise — and why Philadelphia’s boardroom elitists now rhyme with Trump’s red-state culture wars.

Zohran Mamdani made history last night, becoming the first Muslim elected mayor of New York City. Progressives are celebrating — and rightfully so. But Republicans are, too, because they think they’ve found their new national bogeyman. iPINIONS exposes how the GOP’s gaslighting and projection are trying to make Mamdani the face of “Democratic socialism” to… Read more.

Barrett wears serenity like armor. KBJ refuses to play along. This post analyzes the Supreme Court’s most consequential rivalry — one between a MAGA-aligned enabler and a justice dissenting with the clarity of a Nazi hunter. From book tour barbs to courtroom ideology, iPINIONS contends this isn’t just about legal theory. It’s about who will… Read more.
America celebrates traffic and sales while workers work. This post shows how grievance politics swap wages for outrage… how offshoring buys cheap goods at the cost of jobs… and how algorithms now do what foremen used to do. iPINIONS contends that the theater is the point… and workers pay for the tickets.

Trump just deployed the National Guard in DC and told cops “if they spit, we hit”… even as he pardoned over 1,000 Jan. 6 loyalists who spat on and brutalized police. He claims DC is “more violent than Baghdad,” but FBI data shows violent crime is falling. iPINIONS contends that this isn’t about safety; it’s… Read more.
