President Donald Trump renewed attacks on America’s immigration policies Friday. Hosting folks carrying large portraits of loved ones “permanently separated” by illegal immigrants, Trump said that “we’re gathered today to hear directly from the American victims of illegal immigration. You know you hear the other side, you never hear this…

Misinformation has been part of our lexicon since the beginning. Lying. All politicians do it; habitually so for our president. Coaches and sport executives lie to the media. Most of the country lies (to their bosses and themselves) during March Madness. Parents lie to their kids (Santa is real, folks),…
This was my first exposure to the Sinclair Broadcast group: Sinclair Broadcast Group is a right-leaning media company that owns nearly 200 local television stations (including WKRC in Cincinnati). They are in the process of expanding after an agreement was reached last year to purchase the Tribune Media Co. for $3.9…
I’m not sure why I do it. I just do. It’s not healthy. Yet, President Donald Trump’s twitter feed is a train wreck; the uncollected and unfiltered thoughts of a 71-year old man-child can be unsettling. His twitter tantrums typically rail against own staff (see Attorney General Jeff Sessions and…
This is astonishing. Manafort attempted to edit a PDF document to inflate his income to qualify for a loan, but couldn’t figure out how to convert it into Word (which would allow you to make changes). Yet, in defense of Manafort, not many people do. So… f*** you Adobe! Manafort…

Our collective analysis and general consensus is that, and despite my efforts not to be too dramatic, Cincinnati’s rushing offense is one of their greatest embarrassments during Marvin Lewis 2.0 (aka, the Andy Dalton/A.J. Green era sporting a mostly boring offense with a reliable, sometimes game-winning defense); for reference sake,…
When Senator Jeff Sessions accepted a position in Donald Trump’s cabinet to become his Attorney General, Alabama governor Robert Bentley appointed Attorney General of Alabama Luther Strange to replace him. In the meantime, the process to elect a new senator kicked off this spring. Unfortunately, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court…
It’s difficult being a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals. When things go bad, and things usually go bad, we want retribution. Fire the coaching staff, replace the front office, and release mostly every player on the team, is our common cause. It’s a singular purpose. Fucking replace everyone, the vendors, concession…
There are interesting developments brewing in Saudi Arabia over the summer. + Saudi Arabia, joined by other Gulf countries (United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt), called the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), severed diplomatic ties with Qatar for embracing “various terrorist and sectarian groups aimed at {destabilizing} the region.” The GCC demanded that Qatar…
