Reading Time: 2 minutes When the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, the nobility is intact, and the peasants are seen and not heard. Which is utterly pleasant for the person sitting at the dining table, and not so grand for those doing the cooking.

The aim, then, of today’s Republican Party – it’s gotta be – is to restore the monarchy.

Which was not, if you ask me – in the slightest – the aim of the Founders.

Editorial: WA State Gov. Jay Inslee Joins the 2020 Race – THE TIME OF THE OLD WHITE MAN HAS PASSED.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Democratic Governor, Jay Inslee from Washington State announced his bid for the White House today. We were over him before he started his exploratory committee. This man is from one of the most “progressive” states in the nation. If he can’t understand that he’s not more important than a powerful wave of diversity, he is clearly blinded by his ambitions and tone-deaf. We don’t need another great white man savior. The 2018 races demonstrated that very point. The most diverse freshman class in Congress is more effective than any before them.
