Miracle Girl: SOTU Satire: The State of the Union is…Stupefied

You sat through the words written by Stephen Miller for President Trump's first State of the Union address. But listen to the satirical SOTU speech of Miller's dreams. 

Was your ticket to Davos lost in the mail? Here's a peek into Trump's thought bubble as he delivered his "look at me, I'm so presidential speech" to the global elites who once shunned him. 

Where satire meets sorrow...

I was a Jewish Hitler in the Fifth Grade

Miracle Girl: I was a Jewish Hitler in the Fifth Grade

If there were a hell, I would surely burn in it. In my ignorance, this girl of Jewish heritage stood in front of class and pretended I was Adolf Hitler.

Secular parents, look to my story and beware.

Miracle Girl: Trump's First Year Down, Three More to Go (Better Stock Up on Antacids)

Has it only been a year since Trump's inauguration? It's felt like a decade in Trump time.

Miracle Girl: Open Letter to Fellow Progressives: Enough Already with the Purity Politics

A politician walks away from politics to stand on principle. Now that's a movie Frank Capra could've written.

Miracle Girl: The Big Sick: A Must-See for Secularists and the Formerly Sick Alike

There's a reason why "The Big Sick" won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Comedy. It gets my Coma Choice Award, too.

Miracle Girl: Music Therapy: Revealing Awareness and Awakening It in Doctors Too

Music therapy reveals misdiagnosed 'vegetative' patients, reaching the supposedly unreachable. And it could stimulate improved awareness.

Goodbye and good riddance to 2017. It was a difficult decade. At least, that's how long it felt like in Trump years.

Miracle Girl: Unpresidential Parallel Universe: Would I Be as Hypocritical as the GOP?

When politics runs off the rails, it shouldn't matter if the blame falls on the right or the left. An unpresidential president represents us all.

Presidents are rubber and Americans are glue. Whatever they say sticks to YOU.
