We’ve seen the Biden administration walk back certain out-loud, off-script remarks from the President. The latest disappoints thousands who were beginning to see the light at the end of the student loan debt tunnel. It’s a reminder that not…
The Biden administration is on track to fulfill one particular immigration promise that has many ‘dreaming’ of a future without labels; Did Russia sabotage the Nord Stream pipeline?; Florida took a direct hit from Hurricane Ian and sustained damage…
The GOP love to fault the Democrats, especially the Biden administration, on the influx of migrants coming to the US. They claim Dem’s compassionate immigration policies are to blame. Of course, since they only see issues in black and…
Over the weekend, we learned someone at the White House was in real-time contact with one of the rioters at the State Capitol during the January 6 assault. Overnight, we learned the identity of the rioter in question. Observers…
Once Trump left office, we all thought we were through with the manufactured drama in DC that has become a hallmark of the GOP. Unfortunately, no. It seems, as we saw, the Supreme Court is following in the steps…
No two words describe the latest remark by Trump, that he can merely think documents are declassified and thus they are, better than ‘incredibly stupid’. With more revelations of the true state of his finances, courtesy of the NY…
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell raised the interest rate by 75 points. What does that even mean for us; The world knew Putin’s reason for invading Ukraine was bogus but by controlling the flow of information in Russia he was…
At no other time in our nation’s history is it as important, as it is now and going forward, to exercise our right to vote. The GOP effort to deny access to that privilege is reaching a crescendo with…
As time marches closer to midterm elections and the next presidential face-off, there’s a renewed sense of urgency in the nation, among non-Trump supporters, that Congress dial-up their review of Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 attack. Word is…
With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, China ratcheting up pressure on Taiwan and Hong Kong, Russia continuing their bloody invasion of the Ukraine, Trump’s full-bodied embrace of QAnon and increasing threats of more violence if the government continues…
The two GOP governors from Texas and Florida, with higher aspirations than just state politics, are striving to make their mark with the MAGA voter base by busing migrants caught at the border to designated sanctuary cities up north….
Is the end of the COVID pandemic near?; We’ve heard that Russian soldiers are now retreating from some parts of the Ukraine but a timelapse map shows just how much; Inflation is painful but, as in most things, there’s…
If we didn’t think South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham couldn’t cross over to the dark side any deeper, he didn’t disappoint with his latest bill impacting women far beyond his state’s border; Even us most casual armchair foreign policy…
The political ‘sleeping giant’ has always referred to the Latino vote as being the game-changer in elections. To say that Latinos have failed to live up to their potential in a consistent, meaningful way is an understatement. However, another…
In recent surveys, both global and home, opinion is increasingly mirroring the declining state of the US quality of life. It really has nothing to do with the current global inflation wave drowning us and other countries. This decline…
Border state governors, notably Texas’ governor leading the way, continue to emulate their leader Trump by bussing migrants, many asylum seekers, north to drive home the point that undocumented arrivals tax local resources. However much this is a political…
The Anti-Defamation League did us all a favor. They have released the Oath Keepers membership list and it underscores why MAGA is so sure there will be a Civil War in the US — and why they’ll win; It’s…
One headline, that I didn’t post this morning, was an NPR story about how young people are among those answering the call to help ensure our elections will run smoothly. Seems county election officials can’t sweet-talk retirees into being…
Used to be that when a scientist talked about climate change or threats to the Amazon rain forest or any number of doom-and-gloom predictions of the future of our planet, it was a tactic perceived to scare us all…
President Biden delivered a forceful condemnation of the GOP’s MAGA faction, and it was about time. For too long, we, as a nation, have allowed Trump and his cronies to normalize abnormal behavior and attitudes. In MAGA world, gaslighting…
We, as in U.S., have always been accused by our global neighbors as being disconnected from what happens in the rest of the world. Forget that we are (among) the most generous of countries when it comes to helping…
So, last night, at the 11th hour, literally, the Dept. of Justice responded to the judge presiding over the Mar-a-Lago case and Trump’s attorneys’ request to, basically, further delay review of the documents illegally in his possession. Are we…
One of the most vile intentions of extreme conservatives in forcing their legislative and idealogical agenda down the throats of Americans is how they’ve written into the laws financial rewards for those who spy and report against their neighbors…
Personally, I’ve never been a fan of ‘legacy’ politicians. You know, those political dynasties where politicians, some involving members of the same family, who get elected to office in their 30s and don’t leave until they are way past…
The war rages on in the Ukraine and too many Americans have lost interest. After all, it’s over there, not here. Yet, one incident that was recently narrowly avoided would have made everyone realize just how close the Ukraine…
