Divorced Males And Donald Trump
Why do a significant portion of divorced white males support Donald Trump? Could we flippantly ask how they ever got married? This week on Facebook, a male who graduated from Tri-County Schools in Plainfield, Wisconsin (as I did) blamed the woman who was murdered in Minneapolis. I was simply aghast. I had known this person Continue reading

President John Kennedy’s Values vs. Gross Spectacle Of Donald Trump
The repulsive feelings we have for what is happening to our nation, and our utter disgust with those who allowed this to happen in 2024, go without my needing to write it here. It also goes without my needing to write that Donald Trump’s supporters were likely never aware of President-elect John F. Kennedy’s City Continue reading

Democrats Don’t Need New Message For 2026 — Use One Already Screaming At Us
Some Democrats are already tying themselves in knots searching for the perfect “message” for 2026. Should it be inflation and price pressures? Should it be the controversial military attacks on Venezuela and maritime trade?

Donald Trump Fails To Understand ‘It’s The Economy, Stupid’

Why Parents Keep Their Kids Away From Trump Supporters In Family
I heard again over the Holidays why some parents will not allow their kids to be around family members who support Donald Trump.

Lest We Forget, January 6th And The Treasonous Coup Attempt
What the vast majority of the United States well knows is that Joe Biden solidly defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Even 6th graders know that there needs to be 270 electoral votes to win and that Biden earned 306 of them to Trump’s 232. Biden received 51.3% of the vote compared to Continue reading

Rule Of Law Broken In Trump’s Military Strike On Venezuela, Process Matters
Process matters. People who engage with me about topics of the day, whether it is stated in words or not, know that I am a process democrat. I firmly believe that the manner in which governing takes place is the ultimate test of a republic. I know this line of thinking seems as if we are Continue reading

Editorial Cartoons Of Donald Trump’s Illegal Regime Change In Venezuela
I write columns in long-form and need the space to make my points. I am old school for sure. I do not text and have no patience for a given number of characters being allowed when I encounter certain websites. But, having said that, I have been a lifelong fan of editorial cartoons that are Continue reading

Donald Trump Had No Legal Authority To Invade Venezuela, Proves To Be Authoritarian Thug On World Stage
The United States has crossed a stark red line that cannot be blurred by spin or cheap patriotism theater. The invasion of Venezuela—launched without congressional authorization, without even the traditional courtesy of notifying the Gang of Eight—marks a rupture in American governance so profound that future historians will struggle to explain how a republic tolerated Continue reading

Weakness In Standing Up To Putin Emboldens Xi
The calendar has opened to a New Year, but the severe tests confronting the world remain the same as when we closed out the old year. Once again, the threats from large, powerful militaries are ever-present and must be met with firm resolve and a united front. Over the past few years, the danger of Continue reading
