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

In his flurry of executive orders since taking office, Trump has not taken one action that will help the middle class or the working class. ALL of his orders are designed to either benefit big business and the rich, who have great influence with Trump, or to throw red meat to the Right’s culture warriors. The orders concerning…

The Constitutional provision that grants the President the right to pardon individuals or commute their sentences includes no guidelines or limits upon its use. Historically, however, the pardon has been used mostly to show mercy (e.g. someone has already served many years for committing a crime and is now very ill) or to serve justice (e.g.…

At the Trump rally on Sunday before his inauguration, the Village People were on stage with him, singing their iconic song, “YMCA,” which has become a standard at Trump rallies and which Trump does a little dance movement to. How ironic that this gay anthem has become so connected with Trump. In response to other…

I wrote a post on October 7, 2024 noting an analogy between the state of Germany and Germans in the 1920s that facilitated Hitler’s rise to power as well as Hitler’s propaganda tactics and that of the United States and Trump. There is another unfortunate analogy that must be pointed out. Hitler became all-powerful with the…

There are two things going on in the Republican Party that workers need to be wary about. The first is that Republicans in the Trump era call themselves the party of the people, the party of the workers. They, or at least Trump, make impassioned speeches about how workers have been wronged and vow to…

Recently, I have seen lawn signs go up saying, “Trump – low prices, Harris – high prices.” Is that a reasonable prediction for the next 4 years? Many people think that Trump will handle the economy better and have lower prices because prices were lower during his term as President than they are now. Whereas…

Before you say this is over the top, read on. Trump is no Hitler in the depths of his evil (see my post, “Trump as Pandora – The Unleashing of Evil”), but the analogy is still valid. Germans were very dispirited in the 1920s. They had lost WWI, the reparations demanded by the victors crippled the…

If you are Black or Hispanic and you think Trump will fight for you, think again. Read on. Historically, there has been a sharp difference in the racial makeup of those voting for the two parties. During the last 4 federal elections (presidential and midterm) this was again the pattern. On average during these 4…

I feel your pain. I understand your anger. And that anger is justified because your life has changed as your wages have not risen much over the past 40-50 years while prices have risen astronomically. I know that you feel that the government and the Democratic party have let you down by not doing something…

I’ve read several articles noting the support that Trump continues to have among veterans, despite his spoken disrespect of veterans and his not having ended the “forever wars” as promised by the end of his term as President. He apparently gets your/their support because he voices support for peace through strength and for bringing many…
