“Supersonic”, a new documentary about Oasis that was released in late 2016, shows the legendary dysfunction between the Gallagher brothers in their band, Oasis. They were very different as individuals and they didn’t get along – not even a little…

It's an unwitting absurdity to hear so-called media professionals try to make sense of a "post-factual world," as if it's a real thing. The post factual world doesn't exist outside of conscious stupidity. Reject it and reject these hacks propagating…

I appreciate the enthusiasm that people bring to the democratic process. It's been rare where politics on the national stage reflect the thoughts in my head, or the choices I've made with my life. It has happened once or twice…
