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

I understand your anger. And that anger is justified. I too am angry at the Democratic Party for turning away from its traditional role as the supporter of the American worker. After having been neglected and disappointed by Democratic politicians for decades, you responded to Donald Trump’s full-voiced support for your grievances against the government…

In his campaigns and in his presidency, Donald Trump has conquered by labeling things that present the truth as “fake,” whereas in fact he himself and what he presents as “truth” to his supporters is fake. He has created his own Alice in Wonderland world, where everything is flipped on its head, where things are…

There is no argument between Democrats and Republicans—even of the MAGA variety—that we live in a country of great inequality regarding a number of essential aspects of life: money, education, health care, and housing. The difference between the two is that Republicans feel that if you don’t have money, or an education, or good health…

The other afternoon, I listened to a local band in small-town Maine play “America the Beautiful.” And as I heard that music and thought of the song’s lyrics, tears came to me. Why? Because the President, Donald Trump, and his MAGA allies have corrupted everything that is good about our country and are rendering it…

“Make America Great Again” is a great slogan. Who wouldn’t vote for someone with that goal? The problem is that Trump’s MAGA is a deceit. Each and every principle of MAGA—either in concept or in execution— does not make America great again. Instead, it makes America smaller. Let me explain. The overarching theme of MAGA…

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…
