This post is not about the last 20 years in Afghanistan and all the wrong policies that have been implemented. Nor is it about the fact that the Taliban wanted to surrender after several months of American bombing in 2001, but the Bush administration said that the U.S. does not negotiate surrender. That is, the…

In 1899, Rudyard Kipling wrote the classic poem, “The White Man’s Burden,” to support America’s imperialist designs to conquer “native” lands, in this case specifically, the Phillippines. The rationalization for the western world’s colonization of the Third World, since it began in the 15th century, was that it was a civilizing mission—and thus the “white…

Yes, Trump is responsible. How has Trump failed each and every one of us, just as regards the coronavirus pandemic? Let me count the ways. Recently, The New York Times reported that some U.S. scientists are saying that even regular masks can be helpful because some protection is better than none. A lead Chinese scientist has said that…

While Trump’s careless action in ordering the murder of General Suleimani was not an impeachable offense, it is certainly yet one more example of why he is unfit for the office of President and why he is a danger to our country.

Certainly to watch their actions one sees men projecting great strength and power. Trump has gone from a laughed-at outsider not given a chance of winning the Republican nomination, let alone…

We have a real problem in this country when it comes to commenting negatively about Israel. Recently, Representative Ilhan Omar has come under intense criticism for her statements. Her main target and the statement that got the most criticism dealt with the power of AIPAC. While the way she phrased her comment, talking about promoting allegiance…

As Trump has been selling his use of tariffs to punish those, especially China, who he feels, with some justification, do not play fair in the trading game, he makes two statements. First, he says that he is punishing them so that they will come around and give the U.S. a better trade deal. Second, he talks…

We learn that life is a struggle between the forces of light and darkness. Buddhism sees the conflict as between your heart and your ego-mind. In Christianity, it’s between God and the Devil. Many holy men have taught that there can be no light without darkness, without first suffering you cannot learn how to free yourself from…

Trump’s selection of David Friedman as U.S. Ambassador to Israel is his most dangerous to America’s national security interests to date. His other appointees may be against the very agencies they have been selected to head or cozy with the Russians, but the damage they can cause is of a limited nature and can mostly…
