UKRAINE: Resistance is Not Futile

UKRAINE: Resistance is Not Futile


Opinion Contributor

I have a couple of thoughts on Ukraine, like everyone else this morning. The news is rather numbing. In 1991, I was in Europe as the tension turned to celebration when the Berlin Wall fell. After 31 years, the Russian leader has betrayed his own country, peace, prosperity (except his own), and assumed a mantle …

UKRAINE: Putin Got His Strategy from Studying America | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

As predicted, Vladimir Putin signed a law recognizing the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics, and immediately the Russians came in as “peacekeepers.” What’s key here is the territory claimed by the two newly carved out republics, that Ukraine hasn’t recognized by the way, is larger than the territory their militias control. That means the Russians will …

BABEL: God Lets Some White Churches Die | Steve Berman

In 1959, Rev. Kyle Haselden, wrote “The Racial Problem in Christian Perspective,” which took five years for Harper to publish, in 1964. Haselden pastored an all-Black church in Charleston, West Virginia. When the book hit, the New York Times, published Haselden’s essay, “11 A.M. Sunday Is Our Most Segregated Hour.” It’s a marvelous piece of …

UKRAINE: Watch This to See When Putin Will Invade | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

The Russians are as ready as they’ll ever be if they plan to invade Ukraine. According to U.S. sources, backed by satellite imagery, Russia’s claim of pulling back troops is false. American media, citing all kinds of unspecified sources, had claimed that Putin was going to invade on February 16th, Wednesday. This led to a very strong, sarcastic, …

Democracy Didn’t Die in Darkness | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

In perhaps the second-most liberal city in America, ruled by authoritarian busybodies who protect billionaires while virtue signaling their devotion to the homeless—yes, I mean San Francisco—the voters decided to deploy their super weapon. Yes, I mean democracy. Many are calling it a “revolution” or a “revolt” but those things only happen when democracy isn’t available. …

I’ll Take Justin Trudeau Over All Y’all | Steve Berman

I’ll Take Justin Trudeau Over All Y’all | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

I’d rather vote for Justin Trudeau than for most Democrats or Republicans. At least Trudeau knows his place when the President of the United States tells him to get his truckers off the border, or else. Speaking of President Biden, after the U.S. Army, of which he is Commander-in-Chief, released its findings of the bungling of our Afghanistan exit, he told …

JAN 6th: Will We Ever Know What Trump Did? | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Gossip reporters in the 70s through the 90s sometimes got calls from “John Barron.” It was of course Donald Trump, dishing out on the wonderfulness of Donald Trump, without even the decency to affect a different voice. This ruse has about the same level of sophistication as the small time drug dealer who drops his package …

FREEDOM CONVOY: Seizing Kids a Big Mistake | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

If American rabid libertarians have their Avengers, they’re almost certainly the thousands of big rig drivers who have descended on Ottawa, disrupting Ontario’s commerce with the USA, forcing a Ford plant to close, and overall being an icicle in the rear for the normally chill Canadian government. Trying to remove them by force is a thorny …

PITCHFORKS IN OTTAWA: Canadian Truckers and U.S. Parents Share a Common Goal | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

It is not 2020. We no longer need to worry about flattening the curve. We no longer need to wipe our groceries down with bleach, or stay huddled in our homes for fear of COVID-19 killing us. I had COVID-19 in October, 2020. I got it around the time then-President Trump got it, except he spread …

DEM CRACKUP: AOC Slams TX Dem, Manchin Backs Republican | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

It’s a weird time to be a Democrat. You won’t see this in the talking points that are dutifully regurgitated by CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the liberal media cabal, but the reason President Joe Biden’s “agenda” has spectacularly failed has nothing to do with Republicans. It’s all on Democrats, and the party is …

It’s War and We’re All Traitors Now | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

In World War II, the British and Canadians executed traitors, while Americans tended to jail them. Notably, William Joyce, the American-born Irishman-turned-Nazi who broadcasted propaganda from Berlin under the name “Lord Haw-Haw,” was captured shortly after the war, tried, and hanged by the British for “being a person owing allegiance to our Lord the King, and while a …
