It has often been remarked that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress. But that, I fear, is a touch too harsh for a Wednesday. To be fair to our representatives, they do occasionally take a break from the arduous task of spending other people’s money to return home and engage in what they call a “District Work Period.” In the common tongue of the citizen who actually earns his bread, this is known as a recess; in the eyes of the cynical, it is merely a parade.

Trumps Dehumanizing Rage.
Featured
In the old days, they called it a window. A window into the heart of a man. If a man uses such words while he kills, you know what is inside him. You know if he killed because he was afraid or if he killed because he hated. Today, that window has widened to reveal the soul of an entire administration. From the blood-stained streets of Minneapolis to the gates of the White House, we are witnessing a “trickle-down” of disparagement—a culture where women are viewed as political props, subordinate assets, or targets of dehumanizing rage.

Poverty Pimping On Jones St.
Featured
For decades, the Tenderloin has been the battlefield of San Francisco’s struggle with poverty. By January 2026, the 100 block of Jones Street has become the primary symbol of failed Harm Reduction.

A Homecoming for a Hero: Why Super Bowl LX Should Be Dedicated to Jim Plunkett
As the eyes of the world turn to Santa Clara for Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, the festivities will sit just seven miles from the streets of East San Jose—the very place where one of football’s most resilient souls began his journey. While the Lombardi Trophy remains the ultimate prize, this milestone game offers a unique opportunity to honor a man whose life defines the “San Jose Way”: Jim Plunkett.
Grok can’t keep its dick in its pants
Featured
The first two weeks of 2026 have marked a watershed moment for the artificial intelligence industry. What began as a marketing strategy to differentiate Elon Musk’s Grok from its “woke” competitors has spiraled into a global humanitarian and legal crisis. As of January 12, the phrase “Grok can’t keep its dick in its pants” has transitioned from a viral meme to a sobering summary of a machine-learning model whose “rebellious” personality became a vehicle for sexual deviance.

How ICE Became the Face of Domestic Control
In the winter of 2025, the American urban landscape began to shift. It wasn’t just the increased presence of white-and-blue transport buses or the hum of surveillance drones over residential neighborhoods. It was the fundamental transformation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into a domestic paramilitary force. As the Trump administration enters its second year, the line between immigration enforcement and general civil policing has all but evaporated.
Cunning And Baffling
Featured
In the city where the silver fog descends, A “cunning, baffling” ghost begins its reign. Where every steep and narrow street extends, There lies the heavy, sweet, and ancient chain. A populace in shadow, bent and bowed, Beneath a sky of gray and digital gold, While through the Tenderloin, a silent crowd Surrenders to a story centuries old.
