“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.
Don’t allow apathy to prevail in 2024, by John Young
The disbelief in the room was audible. I had just informed students in my college mass media class that – yes – a felon could be president. A multiple felon. A sentence-serving felon, as long as the felon is 35 and a citizen. Check your Constitution. Check Google. One student said she heard someone could […]
Court-adjudicated as baloney by John Young
From the unearthly tint of his reverse mullet to his cowhide smile. From his claim of obscene wealth – “I’ll finance my own campaign” — to the countless followers he conned out of countless dollars to “Stop the steal.” From a phony foundation to a fraudulent “university.” From illegally inflating the values of his properties […]
Don’t go making God your foil: by John Young
I’ve never felt sufficiently schooled to ascribe to a higher being that which lower beings do, or fail to.

[…]
Racist designs of the Big Lie players: by John Young

Having lost the presidency, having made a list of suspects behind the “steal” (which he concocted long before losing), he and his MAGA kin have compiled a list of new offenses linked to the theft. The terms fit well with the old Jim Crow standby, […]
Corruption Lady is a Junkie Now: by John Young
Reviewing my shiny new set of Fulton County Indictment Cards, hearing a TV analyst piercingly call events “corruption colliding with consequences,” I thought of a nice old lady I encountered in 2016. Well, not exactly nice. Gray-haired and petite, she certainly looked less than deadly. That was before she saw literature with which I had […]
John Young Column: Trump headed to his happy place

John Young Column: Anti-debt crusaders? That’s one big GOP con
