by Sean Dempsey03/01/2026 I staunchly believe President Trump should be impeached from office for war crimes and for violating his oath of office with respect to unilaterally waging a war without seeking authorization from Congress, as is constitutionally required under Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution.

The GOP’s Macho Tantrum: Tough Talk is Cheap and Juvenile…Where are Results?
By Sean Dempsey February 12, 2026 Today’s Republican Party often resembles an 11-year-old boy’s action-figure fantasy. Many in the GOP base, predominantly angry men, are acting out a macho daydream: blustering about “toughness” toward enemies foreign and domestic. They thump their chests about cracking down on Iran, putting the boot on the head of illegal […]
An Honest Tale of Luxury, Apathy, and the Decline of All Things Civil
By Sean Dempsey, 07/20/25 Let no one say the following is allegory or invention.

Postmodernists
The Postmodernists applaud when grifters and the mentally compromised enter women’s sports leagues. They call this “acceptance.” The Postmodernists applaud consumerism and the shaving of our gold coins; they label this “stimulus.” The Postmodernists celebrate child abusers who mutilate the fragile bodies and psyches of the impressionable young. They call this “progressive.” The Postmodernists bathe […]
The Religion of Ideology
Given a lack of meaningful information, Man is blind; he will seek instead to use his intuition, “instincts,” and naked assumptions to form an opinion.
