  • Elections in the United States have always been fraught with much emotion. And in the early days of the country there were plenty of shenanigans on the part of politicians running for office.   But when it came to higher office, especially the president, people expected candidates to be men of character.  Regardless of the policies…

  • If you are Black or Hispanic and you think Trump will fight for you, think again.  Read on. Historically, there has been a sharp difference in the racial makeup of those voting for the two parties.  During the last 4 federal elections (presidential and midterm) this was again the pattern.  On average during these 4…

  • I feel your pain.  I understand your anger.  And that anger is justified because your life has changed as your wages have not risen much over the past 40-50 years while prices have risen astronomically. I know that you feel that the government and the Democratic party have let you down by not doing something…

  • I’ve read several articles noting the support that Trump continues to have among veterans, despite his spoken disrespect of veterans and his not having ended the “forever wars” as promised by the end of his term as President.  He apparently gets your/their support because he voices support for peace through strength and for bringing many…

But “liberal” is quite different from their definition. A liberal is someone who believes that all citizens – men and women – should…

  • I have always thought that Trump was a shrewd person who saw it was to his advantage to sow discord.  But recently Trump was invited to appear at a conference of Black journalists and he was interviewed by three journalists. His most oft-quoted remark from that interview is that Kamala Harris is not really Black.  Questioning her…

  • Under Trump, COVID became a pandemic, the economy and the working class suffered, racism and antisemitism increased, and low- and moderate-income people were worse off than before. These are the real facts, not the fake facts that come from Trump and his allies. For proof, read on. COVID – Trump’s mismanagement of COVID was a…

  • Misinformation is always a problem in elections.  Specifically, misinformation generated by Republicans about themselves and Democrats.  And as I’ve written previously, both in my book, We Still Hold These Truth, and in blog posts, Democrats have been amazingly ineffective at setting the matter straight for the voters. Why do Republicans always do this?  The answer is that they know…
