Back in the 1960s, college antiwar protests included protests against ROTC and other military training programs. Now I see where “Whisky Pete” Hegseth also wants to shut down graduate military education on university campuses. “Beginning next fall, the Defense Department will discontinue graduate-level professional military education, fellowships, and certificate programs at Harvard, according to the […]
It’s good to be the president. Or at least this time around. Trump has managed to increase his worth via the presidency. Not saying this is illegal. The amount of enrichment for the Trump family is rather large. More than many presidents combined. ~~~~~~~ Press Release: “New Report Exposes the Trump Family’s Multi-Billion-Dollar Crypto Empire, […]
First saw a report on a Measles outbreak on Facebook after reviewing a fellow writer’s commentary. I do not know the Facebook author of Science and Tech Page. I did attribute the graph and subsequent words to the author Hashem Al-Ghaili. In any case, I believe it to be important to broadcast such information about […]
People will die, more will get sick, and many will forgo care because of the Trump administration’s assaults on public health over the past year. “A year spent degrading health” – by Merrill Goozner GoozNews Two snapshots of a health care system in precipitous decline: First, the latest Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll shows Americans’ number […]

Apparently not as Kristi Noem’s DHS fast-tracks the deportation of 5-year-old after viral ICE arrest. Taken from The Mirror USA Not much will stop the fast-tracking effort to deport a 5-year-old Liam […]
– by New Deal democrat I’m glad I waited a day to write about yesterday’s JOLTS report for December, because I got to read a lot of other commentary on the report, which convinced me to add some additional commentary about the entire JOLTS series. Let’s start with the fact that it was not “stale” inasmuch […]
It appears SCOTUS will not cross a rogue President even if the actions of the office cause harm to the citizens and the overall nation. Left the house burn down? They are safe and it is only the citizens who will pay. I also suspect there is something else going on here which citizens will […]
I do believe most people do not recognize the magnitude of what the Trump administration is doing. I think of Bradbury writing about the book burnings in Nazi Germany. And then there is the ideological repression of the McCarthy era in the United States. The nation is at it again in a far more reaching […]
Could Trump Really “Take Over” the Midterm Elections? Robert Reich My first thought would be, no he can not do so. I believe the courts would move quickly to block such action. The question should be, would Trump defy the courts? In which can and if he does such, what should we as citizens do? […]
I see where Mussolini wannabe Steve Bannon has been asserting that ICE should swarm election polling places, ostensibly to prevent non-citizens from voting. “During Tuesday’s episode of his War Room podcast, Bannon outlined his vision, which, as I alluded to above, should not necessarily be taken as literal White House policy. But it mirrors concerns […]
