Young column: ‘Riots!’ in Portland and fake news on Fox

December 1, 2025 By John Young

I saw the president call the ABC reporter “fake news.” That’s a laugh. The reporter was asking about his obsequiousness with murderous Saudi dictator Mohammed bin Salman while Don and Eric, aka the Crypto Sibs, do business with his government.

Young column: High ketchup alert at MAGA home office

December 1, 2025 By John Young

Maybe it was all that sledgehammering of White House walls. Hard labor at 79.
Maybe it was partying like the devil Halloween night while government stood still. (Did they check the ages of those girls taking turns in the giant martini glass?)

Young column: ICE and its predatory propaganda

December 1, 2025 By John Young

Young column: Age of misinformation and missed information

December 1, 2025 By John Young

Not the citizenship that comes with a Social Security card. Let’s discuss the kind of citizenship that demands devotion beyond a flash of attention – say, every four years — with a rudimentary trip to the polls.

Young column: At the post, in tangerine silks, on his horse Stagflation

December 1, 2025 By John Young

There are so many reasons to grade down the vengeance jockey in the White House. So many reasons why the latest AP poll finds 61 percent of Americans firmly in the “disgusted” lane.

Young column: Life-or-death crossroads for health care

December 1, 2025 By John Young

Talk about all of that, and do not stop. Make noise. But at this very moment we need extreme attention – and noise – about something else. Some 24 million Americans stand to take a crippling hit if Republicans disable the thing that makes the Affordable Care Act affordable.

Young column: Speech police have boots on ground

December 1, 2025 By John Young

I know your first question:
“Will the speech police be masked?” Why, of course.

Young column: Great Divider sets it on ‘boil’

December 1, 2025 By John Young

Now we know about the shooter. He was a white supremacist, captivated and motivated by the right-wing “manosphere,” and of course a nation’s gun fanaticism.
