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

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…

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. Now to be fair, every president keeps his base very much in mind when considering actions to take. It would be unreasonable to…

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. In his rants against NFL players who bend the knee when the national anthem is played, he showed absolutely no understanding of the plight of most black Americans…
