Success Story! Black Man Beats The Odds

Posted on November 22, 2016 by johnrachel

Here is an inspiring success story! Our first black president beat the odds and the scourge of systemic racism and got his just reward. Just look at these photos of the opulent $5.3 million mansion President Obama will move his family into after Donald Trump takes the oath of office. Granted, not every African-American experienced such dramatic improvement in their fortunes over the past eight years. But like they always say … you can’t win them all. Continue reading →

Dat bitch is my favorite ‘ho!

At a campaign rally in Colorado where Jay Z and Beyoncé performed, we get to view Hillary Clinton’s real level of commitment to respect, sensitivity, and proper regard for women. Continue reading →

A Look At Some Other Numbers

The evidence is in. The “I’ll vote for Jill if you will” Campaign is a failure. The good news is that it’s almost too easy to explain why. Unfortunately, that explanation spells catastrophe for this country and unparalleled tragedy for its citizens. Continue reading →

Deep-State Doppelgängers

Posted on August 31, 2016 by johnrachel

I now have proof that voting is a complete waste of time. Whoever is elected will immediately be disappeared by the Deep State security agencies and replaced with a robot which you and I will not be able to detect is a fake. Then this deep-state controlled doppelgänger will do and say what it is programmed to. You and I will never be the wiser. Don’t believe it? Ha! I got this from my reliable “Washington insider” contact, a Latvian taxi driver from Youngstown, Ohio who I talk to frequently on citizens band radio. So November 8th, save yourself the trouble. Just stay home and watch the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Continue reading →

Thought Experiment

Posted on August 27, 2016 by johnrachel

Call me silly, but common sense and the wisdom conferred by reading a little history tells me that making life better for all Americans is preferable to spending the money creating chaos, suffering, death and destruction across the globe. Does that make me a socialist? A hippie? A peace-and-love Pollyanna? Continue reading →

There were over 28,000 Prince deaths last year.

America is being medicated into a stupor. Television is a drug of sorts but that’s another topic. Kids of all ages are being medicated, painkillers and psychotropics (anti-depressants, anti-psychotics) are promoted with the same abandon as fast food, Pokemon Go and lingerie. We have a War on Drugs which is a running joke, an FDA in the pockets of Big Pharma, a 15-year war in Afghanistan which revived its poppy production and the country is now responsible for 90% of the world’s heroin. In the U.S., addiction is skyrocketing, deaths by overdose are skyrocketing, abuse of prescription drugs is skyrocketing, Big Pharma profits are skyrocketing. Isn’t there something wrong with this picture? Continue reading →

The Hands-Down Ultimate Super-Bowl of Showdowns!

Posted on July 12, 2016 by johnrachel

You know how on the last page of a book it says, ‘The End’. Then you put the book down and life pretty much goes on like normal, except either you need to return the book to the library or take it down to a used book store and get a couple bucks for it. Well, this time we really mean it. So pay attention! Continue reading →

Nothing like the thrill of a high-speed roller coaster and the boredom of sitting in a traffic jam. America is a land of contradictions. Or is that contrariness. Continue reading →

Just a little . . .

Posted on June 21, 2016 by johnrachel

It’s easy to confuse the little questions with the big questions. Language itself is often imprecise and misleading. Yet at other times it offers the appearance of an exactitude which is unwarranted, or at least inapplicable. Can we see the difference when we need to? Have we become so smart that we are outsmarting ourselves? Have we become victims of a conflation of logic and hubris? Continue reading →
