Larry's Statement

For decades now Americans my age have complained about the apathy of the generations that came after the radical ’60s. Why couldn’t they be as politically conscious and active as the hippies and Yippies? Well, that has changed now: Radical youth is back, marching in the streets daily to demand change from coast to...

As the coming election draws near, it is urgent that we get the problems with our voting system solved, and pronto! With all the other problems in the country, we don’t need another headache like the infamous “hanging chad” fiasco of 20 years ago that gave the Presidency to George W. Bush over Al...

Anyone who’s read even a smidgen of history knows that total idiots have become kings and presidents. And they might get along without too much trouble for a while, but then a crisis comes up that the moronic leader turns into a catastrophe. Sooner or later, the good folk in the country finally get...

Conservative mouthpieces have been comparing Trump’s response on the COVID-19 pandemic to Obama’s response to the H1N1 swine flu epidemic in 2009, noting that 12,000 Americans died of the disease over a year-long period. But there are important differences: The first domestic case of swine flu was detected on April 15. Obama declared a...

As Bernie Sanders began to surge toward the nomination earlier this year, media commentators flipped into full freak-out mode—and I’m not primarily talking about Fox News, but rather the “liberal” network, MSNBC. Chris Matthews led the derangement parade, comparing Bernie’s surge to Hitler’s 1940 conquest of France. He then continued on an absurd rant...

At a 2016 campaign rally, Trump promised that Republicans would win so big under his leadership, they would all get headaches and beg, “Please don’t win so much!” Like everything else that comes out of his puckered piehole, it was an ego fart completely divorced from reality. Since Trump has been in office, Republicans...

To ring in the New Year, our impulsive clown in the White House, acting like a mob boss, ordered a hit on the second most powerful man in Iran, General Qasem Soleimani, while he was driving away from the Baghdad airport. This assassination—contrary to both American and international law—was a drastic escalation in Trump’s...

With his typical bogus hype, Trump likes to brag that the economy is the greatest of all time. He cites the bullish stock market (as if this actually affects most Americans’ bottom lines) and the relatively low unemployment rate. But what he doesn’t tell us is that so many of these new jobs are...

It was the very definition of a political travesty when Katie Hill, a first-term Democratic representative from California, resigned after explicit private photos of her were published by the right-wing website RedState. The site alleged an inappropriate affair with a legislative aide. The photos were reportedly supplied by Ms. Hill’s estranged husband, and the...

A little over two years ago I offered a $10 million reward for information leading to the impeachment of Donald Trump. I was more than willing to pay in full to get this dangerous imposter out of office. Unfortunately we didn’t uncover a smoking gun at that time. Still, I was confident Trump would...

Recent polls continue to show that immigration ranks as the number-one issue for most Americans. A Gallup poll in July showed 27% of us identified immigration as our number-one concern, with government/leadership coming in second at 23%. Whoever gets immigration right, without either racist fearmongering or blind expressions of political correctness, will probably win...

I hope my suicide watch for the Democratic Party is more successful than the one that failed Jeffrey Epstein. Last month I laid out how the Democratic candidates’ almost unanimous support for open borders and slavery reparations is a deal killer for the majority of Americans and a gift to Donald Trump.  But there’s...

It pains me to no end to witness the Democratic Presidential candidates form a circular firing squad in the debates, almost unanimously pushing policies that will guarantee four more years of Trump. They do so out of a sense of noble idealism, but what good are those intentions if they kill your chance of...

Leave it to the GOP to not only stymie continued progress, but slam-shift the country into reverse and head back to the good ole days, when women were forced to put their lives at risk with coat hangers and back-alley quacks to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. Recent Republican antiabortion laws are more than...

The district attorney of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, made a radical proposal in May: Instead of prosecuting and incarcerating those caught for the possession of drugs as criminals, they would be sent to treatment centers. “Possession is different than dealing. It’s different than carrying a bunch of drugs you intend to sell or deliver later,”...
