Crippling the First Amendment

The First Amendment is the single most important keystone of our Constitution. Without the absolute guarantee of free speech, the Founding Fathers understood that no democracy could survive for long. Thomas Jefferson proclaimed, “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should...

America’s Shameful Criminal Justice System

There are many reasons to be proud of the United States, but our criminal justice system is not one of them. We have the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 2.2 million citizens in federal, state and county jails—a 500% increase since the mid-’70s. And the system is rife with gross disparities and injustices,...

Hell-Bent on Nuclear War

Three months ago Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty signed by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987. Trump and his chickenhawk sidekick, John Bolton, alleged that the Russians had violated the treaty by testing a new cruise missile. The Russians countered that Americans had cheated first....

Can Trumpism Survive Without Trump?

Pundits and prognosticators are now saying that even if Trump is defeated in 2020—or impeached before then—it won’t necessarily be the end of Trumpism. While dog-whistling racism and pandering to the lowest common denominator certainly helped get him elected, that’s not the whole story. The steady decline in the standard of living for working-class Americans...

The Magic Wall Will Never Happen

Trump made the Great Border Wall the signature rally cry of his campaign. Aides encouraged it as a short, simple sound bite that he could remember and repeat. When the crowds roared after “And Mexico will pay for it!” it became a promise he couldn’t escape. Sensing that his hardcore base was drifting away, he...

Beware the Speech Police

These are dangerous times for free speech in America. Tech giants now control the news feeds for millions of citizens, and they have begun a coordinated campaign of unregulated censorship. The campaign began in an effort to suppress “fake news” and alleged Russian interference in our elections, but a lot of babies have been tossed...

The Propaganda Machine

Now that Democrats control the House and members of the Democratic Socialist camp have gained a prominent voice in Congress, the conservative oligarchs who control America are terrified, launching an all-out preemptive assault on initiatives like the Green New Deal. If you watch Fox News, it’s almost impossible to get through a show without one...

Will Socialism Save Us?

For most of our history, socialism has been a dirty word and an almost un-American concept. But a recent Gallup poll shows that for a majority of 18- to 29-year-olds, socialism is viewed more positively than capitalism. This is a sea change, with candidates like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pushing for Medicare for All,...

The Innocent Behind Bars

The United States under our current leadership continues to set new records in the worst way. We lead the world in school shootings, prisoners per capita and deaths from drug overdoses. In 2018 another record was broken: the total time that wrongly convicted prisoners have lost served behind bars. According to the National Registry of...

It’s Not Just Guns

Publisher’s Statement, May ’13 As traumatic as they are, rampage shootings are now a regular occurrence in our country. Many factors have led to that reality: availability of guns, lack of mental-health treatment, abusive environments, violence in popular culture, the list goes on. There’s no specific reason and no specific solution. As President Obama eloquently...

Not In My Name

Publisher’s Statement, March ’03 As of this writing, it looks like we will be going to war with Iraq. According to President-select Bush, we are doing this because Saddam Hussein is evil, because he harbors weapons of mass destruction and because he supports terrorism. While I agree that Hussein is a bad guy, there is...

Fuck You If You Can’t Take A Joke

Publisher’s Statement, July ’88 When I started HUSTLER Magazine, I intended to bring readers something they couldn’t get from magazines, but that still reflected real life: women as naked as you see them in bed, jokes told with the same language you hear at work or in bars, and information unaffected by sacred cows of...

Women’s Rights

Publisher’s Statement, June ’80 “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” That’s the exact wording of the Equal Rights Amendment, better known as the ERA. It’s a simple statement of equality for the majority of American citizens—women. I...

Is the War on Drugs Finally Over?

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,” said...

Women’s Rights Under Attack

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 just...

There Goes the Election!

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 gaining...

Biden: A Walking Time Bomb

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 another...

Democrats Will Have to Solve Immigration to Win

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 the...

Impeachment Must Pull No Punches

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 eventually...

The Crucifixion of Katie Hill

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 geeks...

What “Raging” Economy?

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 low-paying...

Trump the Hit Man

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 war...

Trump’s GOP in Retreat

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 have...

Media Meltdown Over Bernie

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 about...

How Trump Blew the Coronavirus Response

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 public...

Trump, Master of Disaster

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 a...

Safeguard Our Election Now!

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 Gore....

Get to the Polls!

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 coast...

Over The Top! To The Polls!

Folks, it’s only a few days before the election, so I’m going to blow the bugle one more time here: CHARGE to the polls! There is absolutely no excuse for sitting this one out. And every single vote could be the one that tips the balance, because the Republicans will surely stoop to every dirty...

Syren Sexton

With a body built for sex and an irrepressible appetite to get it on, Syren Sexton lives up to her name. “I always knew I would be in porn,” the passionate Brit proclaims. “Always! Ever since the first time I slid a bloke’s cock in my mouth, I knew I...
