By Mark | August 27, 2018

One hopes that, when @SenJohnMcCain passed, some of his courage migrated to other members of the @GOP. #TheForce #OldBenKenobi #Resist pic.twitter.com/oWFmnD43uU — Mark Maynard (@MarkAMaynard) August 26, 2018 Every living American president, with the exception of Donald Trump, has issued a formal statement on the passing of Senator John McCain.

SOMETHING WE CAN DO TODAY: Demand that our representatives come out in favor of the “Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act” to protect the Mueller investigation

By Mark | July 22, 2018

Donald Trump just reversed himself yet once again on the subject of Russian election interference. After reluctantly agreeing with U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia had, in fact, sought to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, Donald Trump changed course again this evening, calling the whole thing “a big hoax” perpetrated by President Obama.

This past July, in a post about our President’s war on the free and independent press, I shared the following quote from CNN contributor, and lifelong Republican, Ana Navarro, who had, at that point in time, just been a guest on ABC’s This Week, discussing Donald Trump’s heightened rhetoric against the press. “It is an […]

Pro-choice Democrat Doug Jones does the unthinkable and defeats Judge Roy “Ten Commandments” Moore in Alabama

By Mark | December 12, 2017

A big, heartfelt “thank you” to the good people of Alabama tonight. With 97% of precincts reporting, today’s special Senate election has been called for Democrat Doug Jones, who looks to have defeated accused pedophile and confirmed racist Roy Moore by less than one percentage point. Jones seems to have won due to a combination […]

A few days ago, when someone mentioned to me that Roy Moore had been successfully avoiding the press since news first broke about the child molestation allegations that had been leveled against him, I suggested that, if news agencies were really serious about getting his attention, they’d send younger reporters. Well, guess what? Moore finally […]
