A Drug Cartel Sets Mexico on Fire to Send a Message
SAN DIEGO -- In Mexico, the flames are out. But for our friend and ally, what comes next is still a burning question.
Americans need to pay attention to what's happening south of the border for a few reasons.
First, there's the proximity. If your next-door neighbor's house has termites, it might be a good idea to get your own house checked. ...Read more
Americans Have a Lot to Be Outraged About -- The Word 'Nazis' Is Not on the List
SAN DIEGO -- As a storyteller, I remember to begin with a tale.
In August 2005, I spoke to a group of retirees in their 70s and 80s. Those were whippersnappers compared to Julie, a 100-year-old woman who approached me.
Julie wanted me to know that everything happening now -- armed masked men disregarding due process, entering homes without ...Read more
Jackson Was a Complicated and Controversial Figure, but Also Hugely Consequential
SAN DIEGO -- What I remember about the one time I met the Rev. Jesse Jackson is how it turned into a multilingual affair.
It was 1994, and I was co-hosting a nightly 9 p.m. to midnight talk show for ABC radio in Los Angeles. My co-host, Tavis Smiley, had heard from Jackson, who was in town for an event with the Rev. Al Sharpton. Tavis invited...Read more

Bad Bunny Promoted Love and Unity -- MAGA Slapped Back With Hate and Racism
Introducing the Bad Bunny backlash. On Super Bowl Sunday, the real losers were the estimated five million Americans who were so sheltered, so entitled and so used to getting their way that they fled the halftime show and went to YouTube for a whole lot of white noise.
The game is over. But the national conversation about the show put on by 31...Read more
It's Game Time, America -- and Bad Bunny Is One Bad Hombre
SAN DIEGO -- Jeffersonian patriots are bloodied but unbowed as they fight back against the Mad King's violent but futile attempts to reverse demographics, restore the cultural relevance of white people, and make America into the 1950's again.
Take heart, soldiers. Reinforcements are coming. And yes, the revolution will be televised; in fact, ...Read more
ICE Thinks It Can Purge America of Immigrants, but Demographics Would Like a Word
SAN DIEGO -- Is the siege of Minneapolis really drawing down now that there is a new sheriff in town?
You can't be serious. Personnel changes driven by public relations are usually symbolic and cosmetic, especially when the person setting the tone from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. seems as determined as ever to make America hate again.
