DNC Via Wasserman Schultz Has Become a Weak Joke: Saturday Night Debate???

Posted by | Dec 19, 2015 | , |

What in the hell is going on in Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s head? Choosing to have the next Democratic debate on a Saturday night is as clear of an indication the the party’s leadership is completely out of touch with reality as there can be. The decision can only be a weak choice to try and bend to the will of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, which has wanted few debates. As Vox discusses: Democrats are holding a primary debate tomorrow [Saturday], much to the annoyance of political journalists everywhere whose Saturday nights are being ruined. Most galling of all, this appears...

ROF Is Not the Only One Calling Trump a Fascist: Ted Koppel Piles On

We here at Ring of Fire are not alone in our observation that Donald Trump is a fascist, even Ted Koppel holds a low view of Republican presidential front runner.

Marco Rubio’s campaign has just released its newest campaign advertisement and it is rife with all the the conservative buzzwords and fear that you would expect. The commercial is summed up best as just idiotic. “This election is about the essence of America,” says Rubio. “About all of us who feel out of place in our own country.” “A government incredibly out of touch, and millions with traditional values branded bigots and haters,” he says in the commercial. “Traditional values” by which Rubio means xenophobia, a demented view of marriage equality, and a love for war–and guns. “This is...

Posted by | Dec 14, 2015 | , |

It has been three years since 26 people (including 20 children) were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in a tragic mass shooting. The website Vox Populi recently posted excerpts from Joshua Dubois’s book The President’s Devotional. In the book, Dubois recounts the gripping truth behind Obama’s trip to Newtown, Connecticut after the shooting.

Person after person received an engulfing hug from our commander in chief. He’d say, “Tell me about your son. … Tell me about your...
