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

Trump is fond of saying, in support of his trade war tariffs, that as a result China is paying billions of dollars directly into the U.S. Treasury. That is blatantly and categorically false. Either Trump knows the truth and is lying, or he is just dumb about how tariffs work, which is certainly possible. What really happens…

There is no way to get around the fact that the Mueller Report makes very clear that there was no collusion or cooperation with Russia regarding its interference in the election for the purpose of insuring Trump’s election. Therefore Trump and his campaign did not commit that crime, or at least the evidence was not sufficient…

The long-awaited report has arrived and, at least as it’s been summarized by the Attorney General, Democrats are very disappointed. Regarding Russia’s interference in the election, Mueller found no collusion or coordination. Given the information that has been made public over the course of the investigation, this is not a surprise, or should not be. Knowledge of Russia’s…

In a recent interview with Breitbart, as reported in various mainstream media, although interestingly not The New York Times or the Washington Post, Donald Trump stated the following. “I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump. I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough—until…

The President seems to think that he has the final say over whether the government will be open or shut down if he doesn’t get his wall. Not surprisingly, he does not seem to understand the constitution’s careful structure of checks and balances among the three branches of government. If Congress passes a bi-partisan spending bill…

It was no surprise that Donald Trump is clueless about what’s happening in the stock market, because the blame falls directly on him and he never accepts responsibility for anything. But recent reports in The Times (“Stocks Extend Their Slide,” December 24) indicate that Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is similarly clueless. Investor unease has nothing to do with the…

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…

In the irony of ironies, it appears that the most important reason why Trump won the election was fake news. He not only manufactured it, but it was spread as real news by several broadcast organizations, most importantly Sinclair Broadcast Group, not Fox. Yes, Hilary did not run a good campaign. Yes, she wasn’t a very appealing…

How hypocritical at worst, or clueless at best, for President Trump to say after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, “It’s a terrible, terrible thing what’s going on with hate in our country … something has to be done.” He is the person who has as President elevated hate in this country to never-before-seen levels. He has either directly…

I previously wrote two posts on actions that show that Donald Trump will do and say anything he feels he needs to in order to get what he wants. He has no morality or ethics. It’s all transactional. The end definitely justifies the means for him. Today’s New York Times provided yet another example. The Trump administration announced that they were…
