Hate won't go away until you do this ...

Hate has always existed. It's nothing new.

It didn't begin with Donald Trump and it isn't going to end with Joe Biden. The notion that somehow hate speech and violence wasn't an issue prior to 2016 is delusional, and laughable if not so disconcerting.

Do this and win every time, guaranteed

I've got a secret. 

Keep this just between us, but uh, I know the secret to the perfect political strategy. 

It works every time, and it's remarkably simple.

Ready? Here it is:

Like Trump, Limbaugh could be a bully and a jerk ... apparently you are, too

Reaction to Rush Limbaugh’s death Monday was as predictable as an eastern sunrise. Why, given the divisive nature of America in 2021 and the unsettling totalitarian bent of social media, would anyone expect anything different?

Honestly, did you expect Twitter or Facebook or anyone in the neo-Leftist universe to respond with dignity to the passing of a broadcasting legend? Did you expect even a modicum of respect toward Limbaugh’s family?

We need more power, Scotty: Why nothing changed and how that might just destroy us

Contempt, condemnation and cancellation live on in 2021, just as they did in years past. Nothing has changed, and it sure seems unlikely anything will. 

Although I often try to pawn myself off as one, I’m no political genius (as I type those two words I suddenly see that expression for what it is: an oxymoron). So far it appears nothing has changed despite the recent regime switch.

And why would it?

How I lost my mind and my voice arguing politics, and why it can't happen again

I knew I was angry, obviously. I was yelling. I struggled to find words fast enough to keep pace with my raging mind. If there had been a mirror in front of me, I would’ve seen the flashes of anger in my eyes and I may well have become frightened by my fury.

If only I’d seen a mirror maybe what I’m about to write would be a moot point. But, unfortunately, I didn’t see a mirror, so I kept on getting angrier and angrier; wilder and wilder. I knew I was mad at my friend, one of the dearest I’ve had in my life; I knew I was saying some pretty angry things to him. But it wasn’t until later, after we’d hung up, that I realized I was on the verge of losing my voice. It was hoarse — and coarse — and my throat was sore.

C'mon, Joe, show us what you know ... step up and stop this impeachment charade

• "I represent all of you, whether you voted for me or against me. And I'm going to make sure you're represented."

• "(President Trump is) a very confused guy. He thinks he's running against someone else. He's running against Joe Biden. I beat all those other people because I disagreed with them."

• "Two hundred twenty thousand Americans dead. If you hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this … anyone that's responsible for that many deaths should not remain president of the United States of America."

The above are all quotes from Joe Biden during the final 2020 Presidential Debate.

Unless your action matches your words, this is what hypocrisy looks like

My concern is that these comments will get twisted, because on a few of my recent social media posts, my friends appear to have allowed their reactions to get ahead of their brains. So, please, open your eyes and your minds and try to contain whatever hair-trigger overreactions you might be dealing with at this time.

I am in no way a "Trump guy." I don't like him and I think he's potentially very, very dangerous. On the other hand, I'd much prefer that he succeed as President rather than fail.

Hopefully you're still reading and not overreacting, because here comes the voice of reason regarding Hollywood, protests and politics:
