The unsigned newspaper editorial is a vaunted tradition: a local institution taking – one hopes — a gutsy group position.
Young column: Trump fantasy: ready-made felon workforce
Look at the Republican players he pardoned – felons all: Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, George Papadopoulis, ex-Arizona Congressman Rick Renzi, crooked jailer-oppressor Joe Arpaio, Charles Kushner (Jared’s daddy) and more. What a handy contact for further employ by Trump.
Hoax that launched a thousand lies
By John Young — Hearing Donald Trump prosecute the Big Lie and Republicans parrot it reminds me of another masterwork in group duplicity. Back when the George W. Bush White House hewed to shifting fallacious pretexts for invading Iraq, a friend remarked: “They have to meet every morning to keep their stories straight.” False comparison, […]
Joe vs. good-for-naught Congress: a KO
By John Young Not since Rocky Marciano relocated Ezzard Charles’ chin to an adjoining county. Not since a Chuck Stobbs fastball took a 565-foot ride on Mickey Mantle’s bat. Only in sport’s annals can adequate comparisons be found for the thumping Joe Biden laid on stationary Republican targets in Congress in his fourth State of […]
Tales of the Embryonic Highway Patrol: by John Young

Agent Orange’s inspiration: “Be like Vlad”: by John Young
With the death of Alexei Navalny, we are reminded once again how Vladimir Putin meets Donald Trump’s definition of “smart.” Indeed, a fellow “genius.” So much in common. Back when Trump took the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013, he wrote Putin a gushing letter inviting him to attend and wondered via tweet if […]
The science of opt-in ignorance by John Young
“To be a scientist is to be naïve. We are so focused on the search for truth we fail to consider how many actually want us to find it” – Valery Legesov Can you handle some truth? You should. It’s all good news. Really good news on two scientific fronts. The first front is economics: […]
Swifties are the least of GOP’s problems: by John Young
Let me get this straight. Why is Taylor Swift the most popular performer on the planet? Because a wokeness-contaminated Pentagon enlisted her in a grand psychological operations plot.
Biden gets right for the heart: by John Young
Talk about a blow to the solar plexus. Straight to the heart of the matter. Joe Biden set his feet and aimed at his opponent’s 42-inch mid-section. “We are living in the era of a second lost cause,” Biden said in one of the most powerful speeches in memory.
