One of the more amazing, and revealing, statements made by Donald Trump after the Singapore Summit was the following, referring to the relationship between Kim Jong Un and his people, “He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.” So now we have proof of what we’ve…

In the midst of the tsunami of allegations of sexual harassment and assault against a variety of public figures and their resulting fall from power, I kept wondering where is the media’s coverage of the allegations against Donald Trump? Finally, The Atlantic recently recounted the accusations of each of the nineteen women who have in the past…

I have written often regarding the hypocrisy of MAGA Republicans. Republicans used to be conservatives of the old school, the party of business and commerce, and they made no bones about it. Yes, they felt that such policies would lift up the entire country, but they did not try and sell themselves as the party…

What a travesty when the elected leader of our country shows no leadership. Instead, his every action is determined by whether or how it will impact the support he receives from his core constituency.

It is beyond distressing that the President, the elected leader of our country, continues to provide more examples from his own words and actions of his amorality.

He promised them jobs. During the campaign there were two main avenues through which he stated he was going to meet…

It’s one thing to say, “America First.” It’s another to be simplistic in its application and have no understanding of what that phrase really means. “America First” raises two issues regarding Trump’s action of taking the U.S. out of the Paris climate accords. The first is, even assuming for argument’s sake that our participating in the…

Something smells about the firing of FBI Director Comey. If you look at the sequence of events, the facts do not seem to support the reason given for the firing, but instead more strongly argue that it was done to stop or influence the FBI investigation into Trump campaign officials’ contacts with Russians regarding Russia’s attempt…
