Charles Bursell Presents

Huge gratitude to Simone Biles for lessons learned. And it's time to shun both the unvaxxed and The Repugs from civil society. www.charlesbursell.com

Adam Carolla hilariously blames cancel culture for his lack of Hollywood offers. Sedition in DC? Of course! But prosecutors need more than "no duh" as evidence. Also: owning a home makes you an a-hole. www.charlesbursell.com

It's not hype or fear mongering. At every level of government, media and culture American Fascism is very real. Ignore it at your own peril. www.charlesbursell.com

The FOX Weather Channel (yes, it's real), climate crisis class disparities, and voter suppression funded by dark money. Anarchy to the rescue!   www.charlesbursell.com

The prognosis for both Covid and Climate are dire unless enough of us can be convinced to value public well-being as much as personal liberty. www.charlesbursell.com

The dangers of wealth disparity will grow as social media technology expands under capitalism. www.charlesbursell.com

Time for Washington Dems to go solo! Also, the NBA Champion Bucks' story is way cooler than most people know. www.charlesbursell.com

Are we laughing enough? Too much? And what happened to the everyday art of joke telling in social situations?  www.charlesbursell.com

Do you trust professional scientists over amateur spiritualists? Here's why you should. www.charlesbursell.com

The Fascists are flexing, democracy is dying, Covid is surging, and the planet is burning, but by golly, sports is a damn good time!  www.charlesbursell.com

The Right is now lying about Cuba and "record" inflation. Also: The child tax credit rolls out (for some) and defenders of Capitalism just don't get it. www.charlesbursell.com    

As automation, AI and robotics handle more of our work, we must turn our attention to saving ourselves and the planet. www.charlesbursell.com

Family support, infrastructure, gun violence, global inequality… there's nothing democracy can't fix. That is, if we can fix democracy. www.charlesbursell.com

The Alabamization of Wisconsin, "Nones" outnumber religious affiliations, and SF Gay Men's Chorus hits the exact right note. Also: Reading Van Gogh. www.charlesbursell.com

The White Supremacist Fascist Republican Party claims to champion "free speech" while spewing propaganda on gun violence, transgender rights, and historical racism. www.charlesbursell.com

Separating the trash from the treasure in our personal and national history. www.charlesbursell.com

The Rolling Stone List of top 100 sitcoms of all time. Also, when opinion polls have nothing to do with opinion. www.charlesbursell.com

Mixed feelings about July Fourth as we approach the dog days of democracy. Also, the origins of "Keep Hope Alive" and more Vatican shenanigans. www.charlesbursell.com

Looking for good news as US life expectancy plunges and Covid rises, the architect of "forever wars" and defender of torture Donald Rumsfeld is dead. www.charlesbursell.com

The right kind of note taking can greatly improve learning and be really fun. Also, more pet peeves: the off-putting "my friend," consensual hugging, and social media fails. www.charlesbursell.com

Beating down American Fascist lies about crime, race, history, and government. www.charlesbursell.com

Feel good Pride stories, a "meh" Chauvin sentence, a doomsday climate report, financial help for parents, and two very iffy infrastructure bills. It's been a wild up and down news cycle. www.charlesbursell.com

US Lefties should follow the Swedish example, California landlords get bailed out, a useful systemic racism analogy, and the first openly gay active NFL player IS a big deal. www.charlesbursell.com

Institute for Policy Studies report: How America's 50 largest inherited-wealth dynasties accelerate inequality. www.charlesbursell.com

Abolishing the 13th Amendment's slavery clause. Hetero white males for Pride, BLM and Feminism. And, it's not a straight line, but Progress always wins. www.charlesbursell.com
