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

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…

Recently, No Kings Day protests were held in cities and towns all across the country, in all 50 states. The Trump administration is trying to belittle and miscast these protests. House Speaker Mike Johnson said that, “It’s all the pro-Hamas wing and, you know, the antifa people.” Trump said, “I don’t feel like a…

I have not seen any article that brings together all the different actions Trump undertook in his effort to change the 2020 election results. And so I wrote this post. After losing the 2020 election, Donald Trump and his allies filed a record of 62 suits contesting election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification…

I have written many posts about how Trump talks great about how he supports workers, but that he has done nothing that really supports them. He does not walk the walk. All of his executive orders and other actions have benefited corporations. In this sense he is a traditional Republican—his allegiance is to big business…

9/29 Trump came out with a new plan for ending the Gaza War and a transition afterwards. The plan, which would require Hamas to free the hostages immediately and disarm, would end the war immediately and foresees Israel troop remaining on the perimeter of Gaza for the foreseeable future. The plan gives Netanyahu everything he…

When Trump assumed the presidency again, one of his stated aims was to make government smaller, whether by getting rid of Federal employees, cutting “unnecessary” allocated funds and grants, or limiting the scope of the government’s work. So on the one hand, Trump and his MAGA allies are very anti-Federal traditional big government. And Trump…

A while ago, I suggested that one thing the Democratic Party should do to counter Trump is to have a weekly new conference to highlight what Trump has done during the previous week that harms the people or endangers the country. Democrats have not adopted my idea, so I’ve decided to put together my own…

At last the Trump administration is taking action that I approve of. He has issued a memorandum that will in effect remove advertising of prescription drugs on TV, returning to a policy that was in effect until the 1990s. What is the purpose of these ads? The pharmaceuticals industry would say that it’s important that…

In the texts cited by the prosecutors in charging Tyler Robinson for the murder of Charlie Kirk, while he clearly did the deed, which in itself is a radical act, there was nothing in the texts that showed he was motivated by radical, progressive, or leftist thinking. Instead, I would call his thinking very Christian,…

While what Kimmel said regarding the far-right’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death may have been partially inaccurate and unnecessarily combative, it certainly did not warrant the FDC Chair’s reaction or ABC’s decision to indefinitely suspend him. What did Kimmel say? “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to…
