Major corporations and financial institutions, and the 1% behind them, have been waging class warfare against the average person for years. They act in total disregard for the common good and have perverted our democracy into government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations. President Eisenhower’s prescient warning against the power of the military/industrial complex…

Any objective observer of the known interaction between Russian officials and Trump campaign officials and allies during the campaign … not the transition … would say that at a minimum it creates the appearance of if not collusion, that is some agreement or understanding, then an effort on the part of the Trump campaign to…

Businessmen grouse about the burden of government regulations and paperwork. They don’t want “pesky” inspectors snooping around. The New York Times recently reported that small business owners are happy that Trump will free them from these burdens.

Donald Trump promised the American people that he would return the country back into their hands. His cabinet appointments, however, show clearly that he is doing just the opposite. It’s not so much that his appointments are either billionaires or extremely rich. It’s that, like so many in their class today, they have no interest…

Democrats are trying to figure out what to do, what to change in their game plan, to regain Congress in 2018 and the presidency in 2020. There are various scenarios that people are putting together on how they can turn things around. I have written after past elections, and I wrote in a post after this…

Of all the unfortunate results of the 2016 campaign and election, perhaps the worst is that the divisive identity politics pursued by both parties resulted in a loss of any feeling that we are one people, one country. Instead, post-election there are two opposing camps at war; so many angry voices, so much vilification on both…

The founders of the United States were deeply religious. But they were not narrow-minded or bigoted in their religious thought. They were students of the Enlightenment. And so in writing the 1st Amendment they saw to it that the government would neither pass any law respecting the establishment of religion, thus forcing it on people,…
