Donald Trump says affordability is a hoax. I guess the rest of us just imagined our grocery bills, medical costs, rent hikes, insurance premiums, and heating bills. This is my sarcastic take on the strange little universe he lives in. You have to admire the confidence. It takes a special kind of person to stand…
We live in a time when lies travel faster than the truth can get its shoes on. Disinformation spreads because people want to believe it. They do not question, they do not verify, they just share. The result is a nation drowning in ignorance, anger, and fake statistics that sound believable only because they confirm…
Donald Trump’s latest $230 million lawsuit against the Justice Department proves once again that no one loves the courtroom more than he does. In this cynical look at the most litigious man in America, I imagine what it would be like if the rest of us could sue him for the stress, sleepless nights, and…
Seven million Americans marched for democracy, and Trump called himself king. Respect has to be earned, and Donald Trump has never even tried. On October 18, 2025, nearly seven million Americans marched in cities across all fifty states, carrying handmade signs that read “No Kings,” “We the People,” and “You Work for Us.” It was…
When did empathy become optional? It seems like people’s first reaction to almost anything these days is, “How does this affect me?”What that says about us as a society and why we’ve become so self-focused. From politics to everyday life, we’ve forgotten how to care about others. Maybe it’s time we remember. If your first…
https://www.amazon.com/Left-Waiting-Laura-Thompson-Kiefert-ebook/dp/B0FVS5HYLL Left Waiting is the true story of my youngest brother, Dave Thompson, and the devastating tragedy that unfolded while he was on what was supposed to be a simple vacation in Jamaica. When he became seriously ill, our family did everything possible to get him medical help and bring him home, but what we…
When justice turns into a weapon, democracy becomes the target. My new Don’t Blink! blog pulls no punches about how the Department of Justice is being twisted into a tool for political revenge — and why it’s tearing down the rule of law in the process. Justice is supposed to be blind. Lately, it feels…
Work, doctors, tech, and social media all speak the same language these days: acronyms. From LOL to SOB, it feels like life is one giant alphabet soup. Here is my sarcastic guide to the madness, complete with a cheat sheet at the end so you do not have to pretend you know what they…
Donald Trump scolding James Comey for lying is like Al Capone scolding someone for tax evasion. In my latest Don’t Blink! blog, I call out the King of Liars for his world-class hypocrisy — and remind readers of his endless parade of bullshit. Donald Trump pointing his stubby finger and screaming that James Comey is…
[When loyalty to Trump gets dressed up as Christianity, it’s not faith — it’s idolatry. Blind obedience isn’t holy. It’s stupid. A reader recently told me — with the kind of self-righteous certainty only found in Facebook comment sections — that “if you’re a Christian, you are told to follow your leaders even if you…
Half of America clings to the First Amendment, the other half clings to the Second. What happens when free speech and firepower can’t figure out how to live together? Sometimes I think this country is like a bad reality show — one half of us clutching the First Amendment like it’s the last roll of…
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, conservatives are doing what they do best: pointing fingers at everything except the obvious. Social media? Video games? TikTok? Please. Guns are the problem, and everyone knows it. Of course. Of course the first reaction from some conservatives after Charlie Kirk’s murder is to blame social media….
Abuse in a marriage and abuse from a president may look different, but both erode trust, dignity, and safety. Add in lies about political violence, and the damage multiplies. America can’t afford silence anymore. Imagine a marriage where the husband is supposed to be a partner, protector, and supporter. Instead, he belittles, mocks, and uses…
It’s time to stop letting Donald Trump define reality with lies, insults, and delusions. American cities are not hell holes, immigrants aren’t to blame for everything, 14-year-olds aren’t adults, and Ukraine did not start the war. Tariffs are taxes, and Trump is neither competent nor coherent—he’s a delusional lunatic who labels everything he doesn’t like…
The Cowboys–Eagles opener turned into a spit fight before the first snap, but thanks to the NFL’s new sportsmanship rules, it became a surprising story about boundaries, accountability, and why football sometimes teaches life better than life does So, the NFL season opener. Cowboys versus Eagles. Six seconds in—and I mean literally six seconds—and Eagles…
Lately, I keep seeing ads and videos popping up about the so-called Himalayan pink salt weight-loss trick. Supposedly, all you have to do is drink a little pink salt water in the morning and—just like magic—your belly fat melts away. Some of the ads even show Oprah Winfrey talking about it. Here’s the truth: it’s…
Every time there’s a mass shooting, the media cranks up the outrage machine. Morning shows, experts-for-hire, politicians with crocodile tears — all shouting the same tired mantra: If you see something, say something. Watch for leakage. Intervene before it’s too late. It’s theater. Because when you actually “see something” and try to act, you slam…
Trump’s August 2025 cabinet meeting was a 3-hour sycophantic spectacle starring flattery, awkward flirtation, and zero governance. If you want leadership, try Netflix—at least they rehearse. There was a time when cabinet meetings were boring—and that was a good thing. Presidents used to surround themselves with experts, debate real issues, and maybe even make decisions….
Sure, I like optimism as much as the next person, but life isn’t all rainbows and glitter. Pointing out problems isn’t “negative”—it’s the first step toward fixing them. Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not anti-optimism. I love hope. I’m not sitting in a cave muttering about doom. But let’s not confuse looking on the…
Everywhere you look — phones, emails, social media — someone is trying to rip you off. Here’s what to watch out for, what to ignore, and why common sense might just save you from becoming the next victim. It seems like every time I pick up the phone, check my email, or scroll online, someone…
