Is there no end to the mendacity of Republican Party leaders; have they no shame? We’ve heard them labeling real news, “fake” news, whereas it is their news which is fake. We’ve heard their claims that the 2020 election was stolen by fraud, whereas they are the ones who have perpetuated fraud in an attempt to steal…

This post is not about the last 20 years in Afghanistan and all the wrong policies that have been implemented. Nor is it about the fact that the Taliban wanted to surrender after several months of American bombing in 2001, but the Bush administration said that the U.S. does not negotiate surrender. That is, the…

Where is Trump when you need him? Did I really say that? Unfortunately, yes. There is only one person who could convince most of the rest of the country to get vaccinated – Trump. If he came out with a strong PSA, stressing his role in getting the vaccines developed and approved ASAP to stop the…

None of the hate and bigotry, the meanness and self-centeredness, that has become a prominent aspect of our society, our body politic, since Trump ascended to the presidency was created by Trump.

When Congressmen take the oath of office, they swear that they will “support and defend” the Constitution. A central part of the Constitution concerns our electoral process. It is a core element of our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. If there were indeed evidence of fraud, and the courts for some reason refused…

For weeks, Trump has been absorbed in his own reality – that he won by a landslide but that it was stolen from him by fraud; that the election was rigged. And his allies have mostly stood behind him and either supported his efforts to overturn the results of the election or actively encouraged…

What can one say to the news that twelve Republican Senators now plan to contest the electoral college vote in various states? Unfortunately, the only realistic thing is to face the facts and say that there is little hope of our country returning to any semblance of political normalcy in the coming years. Despite all the…

If you look at The New York Times’ “Coronavirus World Map” (December 25), you will be surprised to learn that the U.S. has the second worst record of per capita daily cases. Only Lithuania has a worse record. How sad that this great country, home to one of the finest medical systems in the world,…
