Relevant and even prescient commentary on news, politics and the economy.

Rhode Island Judge Blocks trump Again

It must be the state of Rhode Island citizens and judges are feistier than the rest of the nation. For the second time I am reading about a judge from Rhode Island blocking trump’s efforts to hold the nation up by blocking funding. Maybe it is the same judge? It kind of fits as Joel […]

Threats to Senate’s July 4 Reconciliation rush

What is sitting before the Republicans to be solved before taking a Reconciliation Vote. Been rush and scramble to get this bill in order to please holdouts and pass before July 4th. Hopefully, some of these critters will start to have a heart. Hopefully they start to think about how their actions will hurt their […]

I agree with RFK Jr.

Though it feels weird to say it, RFK Jr and I agree on something: curtailing direct-to-consumer marketing of pharmaceuticals. “The Trump administration is discussing policies that would make it harder and more expensive for pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to patients, in a move that could disrupt more than $10 billion in annual ad spending. […]

Senators Are Not Safe from Arrest

I am fortunate enough to be able to access some sites for this type of information and opinion. I have not seen a faux arrest of a person much less of a Senator. It is getting interesting and serious when a appointed department head can force an elected official out of a press conference using […]

“Los Angeles is not a city in chaos”

From a couple of days ago. Been too busy trying to get the VA to recognize that my years at Camp Lejeune created some major health issue for myself as well as others. They would rather keep denying it with the hope I and others will die soon. Those of us from the sixties are […]

Trump & The National Guard

The law is the law. For me, it is difficult to believe one person (even if the president can continuously usurp the law by appealing to higher authorities each and every time. If it were you or I, this nonsense would come to a swift end. Trump needs to be told no, no more appeals. […]

Opinion Piece on the Use of State and Federal Military Against Civilians

I amongst many are against a premature calling out of the military against civilians. In this instance the California National Guard and the Federal Military. Both are classified as military units. There was no need of either. Trump has hardly moved out of the chair in his lunchroom watching TV while chowing down on a […]

WWSD (What Would Stalin Do)?

There was a time when Republican stood foursquare in favor of local and state government over the federal government. No more. “Noem Says National Guard Occupation Is Meant To ‘Liberate’ LA from its mayor and governor” Wonder if the citizens of LA and CA knew they were in need of “liberation” and whether they think […]

The Coward Goes to War Against America

Pulling from my subscriptions today as both Joel and I were busy. Was sick for a day and a half also. Robert Reich encourages hie reader to post his commentaries where they can be read. This one commentary should be read. Do not get sucked into Trump’s trap by reacting violently. “Trump wants Americans to […]
