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.

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.

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
