Why Is Fellow Splice Today Contributor Kenneth Silber Spreading Falsehoods About Me?

2 months ago | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

On April 15, Kenneth Silber wrote an essay for Splice Today headlined “What I Got Right And Wrong,” which was intended to be a reckoning of how the views he's voiced have held up over time.
The Democrats’ Continuing Persecution Of Matt Taibbi

2 months ago | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

On April 1, during a Capitol Hill hearing held to investigate alleged government censorship during the Biden administration, Sydney Kamlager-Dove, the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee’s ranking Democrat, called GOP witness, veteran journalist Matt Taibbi, a "serial sexual harasser. In support of the allegation, she entered two articles from the Chicago Reader into the Congressional record.
Trump Derangement Syndrome Vs. Trump Devotion Syndrome

2 months ago | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

Watching a video clip of J.D. Vance in Greenland last week—in which he justified his boss’ effort to control the island by saying, "We can't just ignore the president's desires”—a small plume of smoke went up in my head. Trump’s a guy with desires, many dark and self-centered. The message I got was that the GOP leadership’s now open about declaring that job one is catering to the whims of a megalomaniac rather than the will of the people.
Errol Morris' Charles Manson Documentary Misses The Mark

2 months ago | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

The public’s fascination with Charles Manson and his “family” remains intact over 50 years after a group of his devoted followers murdered pregnant actress Sharon Tate, wife of movie director Roman Polanski (away in Europe at the time) and four others at 10050 Cielo Dr. in Los Angeles. One of the cold-blooded slaughterers, Susan Atkins, who once sang in her church choir in San Jose, California, scrawled the word “pig” in Tate’s blood on the front door as the group left the house.
What You Don't Know About George Floyd's Death

Mar 25, 2025 | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

The MAGA world is abuzz with hopeful chatter that Donald Trump will pardon Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis cop convicted of murdering George Floyd in May, 2020. At this time, it's not clear what Trump's thoughts on the matter are, but right after Floyd died he said: “All Americans were rightly sickened and revolted by the brutal death of George Floyd. My administration is fully committed that, for George and his family, justice will be served.
Bert Kreischer Is The Most Obnoxious Working Comic

Oct 22, 2024 | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

Bert Kreischer’s been a successful comedian for years, but I'd never heard of him until a few months ago when I caught an episode of his since-canceled Netflix show, The Cabin, in which he was lying nude on the floor while getting a coffee enema. Comedian Bobby Lee was getting ready to strip down and join him, at which point I turned the show off. I'm a fan of comedy, not self-indulgent exhibitionism.
The Sudden Rise Of The Republican “Alpha Male”

Oct 16, 2024 | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

Tucker Carlson, not long ago, was about as urban as a guy can get. Brought up in comfort in La Hoya, California, he worked for The Weekly Standard, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, The Daily Caller, and Fox News. But now he's shed the suit and tie for baggy pants, boots, and flannel shirts and is living the country life in rural Maine, hunting and fishing, as high-testosterone, high-sperm-count men will do.
49ers Fullback Kyle Juszczyk Suggests Beat Reporter Grant Cohn is a Perv In the Locker Room

Oct 10, 2024 | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

Grant Cohn is a reporter covering the San Francisco 49ers on the SI website. His abrasive, unorthodox approach has made him into the players’ (and many fans’) bête noire, but I was startled to see this recent tweet from fullback Kyle Juszczyk: “Maybe we can keep @grantcohn from always hanging around our lockers while we’re changing.” Reporters generally hang out in the middle of the locker room while the players change.
Progressives Wobble On Free Speech

Oct 9, 2024 | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

The Democrats, ever vigilant in guarding our “fragile” democracy, have identified a new threat—the First Amendment. That monumental addendum codified the right of all Americans to speak freely even if it offends the government, affording them a level of freedom not available in the rest of the “free world.” And, before Donald Trump short-circuited their minds, the Democrats recognized it was the cornerstone of democracy.
The Trap Of Snobbery

Oct 7, 2024 | splicetoday.com | Chris Beck

Years ago, a friend told me she wouldn't listen to “pop” music. This was when there was plenty of good pop music. We were discussing a musical artist we both liked—Angélique Kidjo—and my feeling was that she was being snooty, expressing her superiority over me. I started listening to pop music as a teen, and was instantly hooked.

So Trump wants to deport black people now?

Sarah Reese Jones @PoliticusSarah

A family friend was detained for 3 hours. They didn't think she was a citizen because she had a lot of stamps on her passport. Dressed in business attire, travels a lot for work. She is a Black woman.
