It’s not just smoke anymore
Sherman R. Frederick/Properly Subversive I could fill this whole column – and a few more to boot – recounting Hunter Biden’s wild prostitute binges and his pathetic attempts to cover them up. Telling the IRS that a $10,000 sex club fee was a “golf membership”? C’mon, man. That ain’t gonna … [Read more...] about It’s not just smoke anymore

Don’t give Evil a pass
Sherman R. Frederick/Properly Subversive There are people in this wonderfully free and tolerant country – some right here in Marin – who believe the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel was overblown, a hoax or somehow justified.
