Yesterday’s comments by JD Vance show without any question that he and Trump don’t care what the truth is, what the facts are, they will say what they think “the people need to know,” or perhaps what they think will keep their base enraged and so totally committed to them. First, they continued to say…

I have always thought that Trump was a shrewd person who saw it was to his advantage to sow discord. But recently Trump was invited to appear at a conference of Black journalists and he was interviewed by three journalists. His most oft-quoted remark from that interview is that Kamala Harris is not really Black. Questioning her…

Under Trump, COVID became a pandemic, the economy and the working class suffered, racism and antisemitism increased, and low- and moderate-income people were worse off than before. These are the real facts, not the fake facts that come from Trump and his allies. For proof, read on. COVID – Trump’s mismanagement of COVID was a…

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. These feelings and tendencies have always existed across a broader section of our society than we would care to admit. But until Trump,…

Over the next few months, Facebook’s Oversight Board of thinkers from around the world will decide whether Facebook’s ban on Trump should stand or whether he should be let back on. Academic free speech advocates are already suggesting that the Board may well be more responsive to free speech concerns and reinstate Trump. And they are clearly…
