Preserving American Values
Our nation stands under attack … not from without but from within. American values, our politics, and our culture have been corrupted.

The campaign against Mamdani by some conservative Jewish leaders and others, calling him antisemitic, has just reached a new level with accusations of antisemitism from Israel. From almost the beginning of his campaign, Mamdani has faced charges of antisemitism because he was critical of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza and because he has…

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…

There is deep disagreement among Americans today on what it means to be an American. The two sides are so polarized that each sees the other as a threat to our democracy’s continued existence. There is even occasional talk about the possibility of civil war. With the passions this disagreement has fostered, how do we…

The difference between the two is that Republicans feel that if you don’t have money, or an education, or good health…

The other afternoon, I listened to a local band in small-town Maine play “America the Beautiful.” And as I heard that music and thought of the song’s lyrics, tears came to me. Why? Because the President, Donald Trump, and his MAGA allies have corrupted everything that is good about our country and are rendering it…

“Make America Great Again” is a great slogan. Who wouldn’t vote for someone with that goal? The problem is that Trump’s MAGA is a deceit. Each and every principle of MAGA—either in concept or in execution— does not make America great again. Instead, it makes America smaller. Let me explain. The overarching theme of MAGA…

Winning elections is in large part a question of which Party is able to define the battle, its terms, and who successfully defines the actors. Certainly, Trump has defined the battle and has effectively defined them for his supporters as the enemy of making American great again. For Democrats to win the 2026 midterm and…
