Stupidity is not our best choice for a safer and brighter future. The big, dumb, oafish bully who thinks he’s going to build a thousand-mile-long wall, round up and bus out 11,000,000 undocumented people, kick the asses of all the terrorists…and their families, and rewrite everything about international trade by…
I love that Bernie Sanders has expended so much public energy railing against income inequality, but if you make an even cursory study of the depth of this divide, it becomes painfully obvious that neither lip service nor any legislative process short of a total “redo” will ever change a…
As Donald Trump continues to double down on his inflammatory romp through America, playing to the fears and disappointments of his millions of drooling, hate-filled, poorly educated, intolerant, misinformed followers, the news clips, sound bites, twitter feeds and the resultant, endless conversation are all disturbingly devoid of veracity, compassion or any…

When I was growing up, the mysterious, yet seemingly real promise of living the American Dream was imbedded into almost every sector of our daily lives. From education to job expectation to financial security, curing disease or flying to the moon, it all seemed within reach. What happened? Well, nothing…

By demonizing government and spending for socially responsible…
If this was a TV show, whomever was having this dream, (you know, the one where Trump is the frontrunner for the Republicans and Bernie Sanders is kicking Hillary’s ass, which may not even matter if the FBI throws her in the slammer, and Michigan is poisoning everybody in Flint,…
Because this is America, everyone has the Constitutional right to say almost anything short of threatening a Federal official, yelling “FIRE!” in a knowingly incendiary-less theater or using otherwise actionably slanderous language.
