Happy New Year! Last year was certainly one for the record books. It was a rollercoaster ride that most of us never signed up for. The stock market hit record highs at the same time the United States dropped out of the top 20 democracies and is now ranked 21st on the democracy index. We… Continue reading January 1, 2026

We have clearly entered a period in American politics that is a combination of Alice in Wonderland and Dante’s Inferno. Alice in Wonderland because nothing makes sense anymore and, frankly, Trump’s Cabinet picks look like a whose who from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party! The period resembles Dante’s Inferno because we are just descending deeper… Continue reading August 6, 2025

How many Americans are aware that ‘Democratic’ appears in the official name of several countries who are far from being models of democracy? The official name of North Korea is Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and yet there is probably no one on the planet with the exception of Kim Jong Un himself and… Continue reading August 5, 2025

It is clear that Trump is not only becoming a dictator in America but believes he can dictate terms for the entire world. Power has clearly gone to his head, and his sycophantic supporters are feeding this monster. Congress has relinquished its Constitutional authority to set tariffs to Trump and what we are seeing now… Continue reading August 4, 2025

President Trump, the Blamer in Chief, was at it again yesterday when he fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shortly after the latest jobs report was released showing a significant drop in the number of jobs being added to the economy. We all know Trump does not like facts and… Continue reading August 2, 2025

There is much talk about artificial intelligence these days and how it may impact our lives for better or for worse. Delta Airlines has apparently started using artificial intelligence to determine airfares. They claim that they are not tracking individual data and not targeting fares based upon specific buying habits of individuals but are using… Continue reading Aug 1, 2025

President Richard Nixon was forced to resign because the existence of tape recordings containing damaging conversations regarding Watergate came to light. The existence of such tapes was initially vehemently denied, but when the truth came out, Nixon really had no choice but to resign or face impeachment which would surely have resulted in a guilty… Continue reading July 31, 2025

Why are Trump and his MAGA base so opposed to science? Science has almost become a pejorative word like ‘woke.’  Continuation down this path will not make America great nor will it make America healthy. Exactly the opposite will happen. Cutting edge research in medicine, artificial intelligence, sociology, aerospace, and virtually every other field of… Continue reading April 26, 2025

This administration has demonstrated more foolishness and incompetence in the first three months of its existence than any administration during my lifetime. Trump initiated a global trade war that managed to crater the economy and the stock market in a matter of weeks, not to mention alienating all our long-time allies. When I sadly look… Continue reading April 25, 2025

The global trade war started by Trump by imposing tariffs on virtually every country in the world, including places like Lesotho, a very poor country in Africa which exports clothes and diamonds, and uninhabited islands occupied only by penguins, has further solidified the impression of everyone that the U.S. is an untrustworthy trading partner.  This… Continue reading April 23, 2025
