in 2017/Top Headlines by

Hillary Clinton debuted running mate Sen. Tim Kaine on Saturday as a can-do progressive committed to social justice and equality – “everything Donald Trump and Mike Pence are not” – at a boisterous rally ahead of next week’s Democratic National Convention. “He is qualified to step into this job and lead from Day One. And he is a progressive who likes to get things done,” Clinton declared at Florida International University. Kaine, a bilingual former Virginia governor, detailed his life…

Diane Roberts: With Donald Trump, it’s Midnight in America

in 2017/Top Headlines by

China is stealing our brains. Europeans are laughing at us. Mexicans are pouring over our open borders to drive down your wages and rape your children. ISIL bombers disguised as Syrian refugee children will soon be living on your block. Muslims are shooting up discos. Democrats are coming to take your guns. It’s Midnight in America. Or maybe, like, 3 am. That’s an even worse time. The point is, America totally sucks. (Thanks, Obama). There’s only one thing you can…

Joe Henderson: After RNC day one — just not feeling it

in 2017/Top Headlines by

If Democrats could have scripted the first day of the Republican National Convention, it would have looked a lot like the show on display Monday in Cleveland. Start with the downbeat tone that basically told America their world is approaching the last exit on the highway to hell. Or, put another way, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE IF HILLARY IS ELECTED!!! Yeah, these are people I want to hang out with. Throw in the floor fight by the #NeverTrump…

Tom Jackson: A GOP convention unlike any other

in 2017/Top Headlines by

At long last, it looks like Republicans are going to do this thing. This unexpected, astonishing and — not to put too fine a point on it — crazy thing. They’re going to nominate for president a demagogic, bullying, uncouth, uncurious, insincere, shifty, disloyal blowhard with minuscule thumbs and an unconscionable comb over.

Greetings, y’all. My dateline is V.M. Ybor this morning in Tampa , not the Baymont Inn in Hudson, Ohio – some thirty minutes away from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, the site of this week’s Republican National Convention. Circumstances have dictated that I won’t be reporting from the RNC this week, but I certainly intend to observe from afar in this space all week about this week’s events. It’s going to be entertaining, that’s for sure. Just look at the drama that…
