There have always been and there will always be rich people and poor people. That is inherent in the nature of man in non-collective societies. But while our Founding Fathers—in particular John Adams—recognized that nature is filled with examples of inequalities in man’s material possessions as well as in his mental and physical attributes—and that’s…

From a Liberal, Democratic Perspective A recent New York Times article stated that young males who provided an important swing vote for Trump in 2024 are discouraged by what Trump has done and not done while in office.

This year, many agency heads in the Trump administration sent out official Christmas messages with explicitly religious as opposed to universal spiritual messages. So for example, War Secretary Hegseth said, “Today we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” This is just one more example of the Trump administration’s distortion and perversion…

Despite the brief #MeToo era, we still live in a world where if a man and a woman are engaged in a sordid—meaning, in conflict with society’s conventions—relationship, it is the woman who will be chastised and not the man. Men have always been able to do what they want and receive little criticism; women…
