Trump Using Iran War As Deflection From Sex Crime Allegations In Epstein Files, “I’m Not A Pedophile “
It was a staggering moment in American politics when Donald Trump went on national television Sunday to state I’m– I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody. And then state, I’m not a pedophile. The need to make such a statement speaks for itself. For the past nine weeks, many commentators and citizens have come… Continue reading

“People Have Got To Know Whether Or Not Their President Is A Crook”…Or a Rapist…Or a Pedophile!
I only watch CBS News under very limited circumstances since Bari Weiss took the head at the news division. With the shift away from objective reporting to instead fluffing Donald Trump, while decimating CBS Radio News, the closest I come to the network is following the weekly viewership decline of Tony Dokoupil. Last week, an… Continue reading

25th Amendment Needed to Stop A Walking Biological Mistake
Calls for the removal of Donald Trump from the Oval Office are increasing. As we move to week nine of an unnecessary war in Iran, the quagmire effect is taking hold as international relations fray, economic damage escalates, and dire political consequences for the Republican Party multiply. While all that is true and intensifying, it… Continue reading

Iran War: Expertise Replaced With Promotion of Opinion
I admit laughing when reading or hearing MAGA defend Donald Trump’s unnecessary Iran War by merely repeating the White House line that the conflict has been going on for 47 years. Then the defense bottoms out as they do not know what more to say. Since they mimic Trump, and he is the last person… Continue reading

Trump Needs A New Title: King Of Blarney And Bull
Trump made a most dreadful series of comments in the past few days regarding Pope Leo. It has been most embarrassing for our country. Clearly, Trump believes he is even ‘above the Pope’ when it comes to theological reasoning. As such, we need to ask if he feels hemmed in by the mere title of… Continue reading

Those Who Sided With Viktor Orban Will Be Damned, Authoritarianism Is A Loser
I spent some time this afternoon upstairs looking for a column in a back issue of Foreign Affairs. I knew it contained the essence of what I wanted to stress in this column. That followed the most welcome news that Peter Magyar’s center-right Tisza party was projected to win Hungary’s parliamentary election, bringing an end… Continue reading

Iran’s New Strength, Trump’s Weakness: “Please, Please. It’s Too Much Winning. We Can’t Take It Anymore”
My first favorite author was Allen Drury, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Advise and Consent. As a teenager, I ate his books up, thrilled by their political and international stories with a continuous batch of colorful characters. But nothing…I mean nothing…that Drury could make up in his brilliant writing comes close to a plot line… Continue reading

Diversity Champions Hate Speech This Holiday Weekend
This holiday weekend, with Easter and Passover being celebrated and observed, I suspect most people are in an uplifting mood. In line with that thinking, a Chicago Tribune story caught my attention. After Assyrian families in Skokie, Niles, Morton Grove and Lincolnwood spent nearly a decade advocating for an Assyrian language program at Niles Township High School… Continue reading

It’s Absurd That We Even ‘Need’ a Court Ruling on Birthright Citizenship
There are moments in a nation’s political life that reveal not just disagreement, but decay. On the first day of Donald Trump’s second term, he signed an executive order on birthright citizenship declaring that some children whose parents are here illegally or temporarily, such as certain visa holders, are not American citizens. This is not a legally… Continue reading

The Curious Cultish Case Of The Great Big Marco Rubio Shoes
I could be a willful child when growing up. Probably even difficult for stretches of time. As an adult, when talking with a therapist, my willfulness at home was presented back to me as a coping mechanism I employed. The problem was that I used it on the wrong people; after all, the school bullies… Continue reading
