Why is the Left helping Donald Trump to win the Presidency? The only candidate helped by all of the Hillary Hatred coming from the Left is the Despicable Donald Trump. It would be tragic for this horrid man to achieve the presidency through use of all the dirt some alleged progressives throw at Hillary.

Who Will Watch the Watchers -- at OpEdNews.com? OpEdNews.com appears to have recent and strong policies governing comments on articles, which limit the content of such comments via some kind of unspecified monitoring combined with some highly-specified threats.

Fuhrer Donald Trump and His New America First Movement! America and all Americans, but especially progressives, must see through Donald Trump's misguided America First trumpetings. This article provides some history on the comparable America First rhetoric of the 1930s and early 1940s, which was not only offensive to the world, but to American interests as well. We absolutely should not repeat those mistakes -- rather, we must learn from them!

A 2016 Passover Message on the World Refugee Crisis Just as Passover celebrates freedom and renewal, the present world refugee crisis requires a worldwide commitment to make the freedom and renewal of the lives of wartorn and terror-torn refugees a top United Nations priority. In simple humanity and common decency, we must do no less -- and should try to do even more.

The Upcoming Decline and Fall of the Donald J. Trump Republican Presidential Campaign! The superficial successes to date for Donald J.

Donald J. Trump: Constitutionally Disqualified from Ever Becoming President of the USA Donald J. Trump may be the first presidential candidate in history to ever violate the presidential oath of office in advance. Were he to ever be elected, God Fobid, he would be unable to honor his own Oath of Office. Those who have made him, temporarily, the leading Republican candidate, need to take a good, hard look at those realities. The Donald is not only crude and rude, he also appears unglued!

Help the AARP lose its undeserved IRS tax-exempt status now! The AARP, once the American Association of Retired Persons, no longer advocates significantly for the elderly here. Instead, it partners with a host of purveyors of commercial stuff to our senior citizens. That decline is shameful enough -- getting tax-exempt status for selling often-unneeded stuff is even worse. This article offers an opportunity for seniors to strike back!

One More Strong Endorsement: Hillary Clinton for President in 2016 This well-reasoned comparison between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton as presidential candidates leads to a strong endorsement for Hillary, while much praise for Bernie is in order too. Both of them, of course, are far better than anyone that the opposition has to offer.

The Muddled Maundering on Stock Market Malaise! The major securities market volatility since the start of 2016 has been blamed on the decline in oil prices -- which actually should be "fueling" a rising market. This article focuses instead on the growth of so-called program trading: trades carried out automatically, particularly in falling markets, which are very destabilizing and dangerous as well. Enhanced regulatory rules are needed immediately to control such trades.

The Two Worst Governors in the United States! Governors Chris Christie of New Jersey and Rick Snyder of Michigan, both Republicans, are indeed The Two Worst Governors in the United States. While the situations may be different, what they share is a complete disregard for the wellbeing of their citizens, and complete failure to honor their oaths of office.

A Most Misbegotten STATE OF THE UNION for Seniors: The Union of AARP and The Hartford Insurance Companies! By highlighting the defects in the well-known AARP The Hartford insurance program for senior citizens, this article hope that either major improvements will occur, or America's seniors will go elsewhere for their insurance -- while establishing an activist agency to really meet our needs. The cause is just and urgent; the time is now!

A Letter to Hillary Clinton Recent attacks by Hillary Clinton on Senator Bernie Sanders mainly damage her own presidential campaign. Using her daughter Chelsea to make such attacks should be beneath her, particularly when the attacks are not truthful.

A 2016 Agenda for America's Senior Citizens!

This article is intended to motivate such discussions now.

"Disgusting" Donald Trump turns the 2016 presidential campaign into bad bathroom humor! As silly and offensive as Donald Trump's recent attacks on Hillary Clinton appear to be, they do cast some light on The Donald's own serious psychological issues and misguided proclivities. He appears to badly need professional help, rather than any high office at all.
