Friday, September 18, 2026"A Review of the History of the State of Israel; David Ben-Gurion on Expulsion This column considers two related subjects: the creation of the State of Israel, as the product of international anti-Semitism, 1878 - 1948, and a lengthy list of statements by Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, beginning in the 1920s, promoting expulsion of the Palestinian population from the territory of what would eventually become the State of Israel (before any thoughts of the "Two-State Solution").

Friday, September 11, 2026Expulsion of the Palestinians is Now Official Israeli Policy This column briefly reviews (again --- I just cannot get away from this topic) the development of Israeli Nationalist, Palestinian Expulsionist, from-the-original British-Mandate, policy since it was first developed in the 1920s. It then considers, briefly again, the first time (now) that an Israeli Government has openly stated that Expulsion-of-Palestinians is official policy, in re Gaza, and international responses to it.

Friday, August 28, 2026TrumpRepubloFascism: Review and Update, Continued This column continues my discussion/review of what I entitle "TrumpRepubloFascism." In my column for next week I will discuss in some detail my proposal for an overarching electoral strategy to be adopted by the Democrat Party, both for the 2026 mid-terms, and the 2028 general election: "The United Front for the Restoration and Preservation of Constitutional Democracy in the United States."

Friday, August 21, 2026TrumpRepubloFascism: Review and Update, Part 1 This is Part 1 of a 3-part series on TrumpRepubloFascism and my proposal for how the Democratic Party could deal with it in the mid-term and then Presidential elections. This column and next week's contain an updated review of the subject, "TRF." Part 3 contains the details of my proposal for creating a "United Front for the Restoration of U.S. Constitutional Democacy," designed to provide a basis for uniting TRF opponents.

Sunday, August 9, 2026Some (Relatively) Short Comments on Some (Relatively) Recent News This column presents a set of relatively(!) brief comments on the current politico-historical scene, mainly made on columns posted by the great political analyst and activist, Steve Schmidt.

Monday, August 3, 2026Can What the Israeli Nationalist Government is doing to the Palestinians be Defined as "Genocide"? This column briefly considers the question of whether what the present Israeli Nationalist government is doing the Palestinians still living in the territory of the original League of Nations Mandate can be considered to be "genocide." In my view, it cannot. In my view, a better descriptive is one that I have been using is my writings on the subject for quite some time: "Expulsionism." This column explains why.

Friday, July 24, 2026The 'Seven Magic Tricks, Revisited' (Again) This column is about a topic that, for good reason, is receiving alot of attention in the Fair-Elections/Anti-TrumpRepubloFascism (TRF) media. Why are the TRFs planning to undermine the fairness of the 2026 mid-terms. Why? As is well-known, according to the polls, if the current indicators hold, the TRFs are in for a whupping. This column is about how they will be using Trump's Seven Magic Tricks in their "undermining" attempt

Thursday, July 16, 2026The TrumpRepubloFascists' Version of "Grand Theft Auto:" "Grand Theft Elections'" This column presents a brief review of the major achievements/objectives of the TrumpRepubloFascist government. It also focuses on the upcoming Cong. elections, why the TRF's (obviously) fear their potential results, and discusses briefly what they are planning to do subvert them. It is also predicts that Trump will either overtly or overtly announce his plans in his 7/16/26 speech, which may be broadcast nationally on TV.

Thursday, July 9, 2026A Guest Column: "Today's Republican Party" This week's column is written by long-time friend and colleague, Donald Ardell, Ph.D. Among other things, Don has the been promoter and (much) further developer, both nationally and internationally, of the concept of and program for "High Level Wellness," originally conceived by Dr. Halbert Dunn about 60 years ago. Don also has a keen interest in U.S. politics and history. Here I present a recent column of his, most apropos.

Thursday, July 2, 2026The TrumpRepubloFascists and the Supreme Court" Trump, and his handlers for the installation of P2025/TrumpRepubloFascism and the destruction of U.S. Constitutional Democracy with its central feature of the Separation of Powers, know well that a) Trump has terrible approval ratings, b) that certain Repub. Senators/Reps. who should be comfortably ahead are not, and c) the Supreme Court is not always on their side. This column reviews these several factors and their history.

Friday, June 26, 2026"Disclosure Day" and What our Species Might Learn from an Arrival of Extra-Terrestrials* Steven Spielberg, a most remarkable 80, has a new movie. "Disclosure Day." It returns to a theme that he dealt with in one of his early movies, E.T. This time the plot revolves around the attempts of "authorities" to keep the secret. My theme here revolves around one dealt with in an earlier column on the "self-destructive species," and the implication that such an arrival might save us from that otherwise inevitable outcome.

Friday, June 19, 2026The Desecration of the House (plus a Prescript on Trump's 'Iran Deal') This column is about the Desecration of the White House that Trump visited upon it by hosting the UFC "Cage Matches" in and at it. In this column I symbolically compare that desecration with the Desecration-of-the-Constitution that the P2025-TrumpRepubloFascist forces have been carrying out since Day 1 of the Second Trump Presidency. There is also a prescript which offers an explanation for why Trump caved on the War-on-Iran.

Friday, June 12, 2026The Star-Spangled Banner and what it Truly Stands For This column is a partial re-run of a column that I published in 2017, on Trump, an NFL quarterback named Colin Kaepernick, the U.S. Flag and our National Anthem. It deals with what Trump has made 6-14-26 into --- the excrescence appearing on the White House lawn. Thus, for this year it is a date that shall live in infamy (along with December 7, 1941). And it explains both the positives and negatives of our National Anthem.

Friday, May 29, 2026Trump and Project 2025 (Plus a few thoughts on his state of health) In my view, which I have held and written about in this space for quite some time now, a) P2025 and what it proposes to do (major elements of which Trump is already implementing, e.g., declaring war without getting a resolution from Congress, Art2) presents the most serious danger-to-the-Republic of the Trump Presidency. I summarize its major features. Plus, I briefly review several of the major health issues Trump faces now.

Friday, May 15, 2026"Trump-Comey" 2016 Revisited In brief, this is a re-run of a column published in the week before the 2016 elections in which I speculated that various anti-Clinton activities that then FBI Director James Comey undertook would have the effect of electing Trump as President. I then briefly mention that after the election Comey proceeded with the "Russian interference" investigation begun before the election, which eventually led to the "Mueller Report."

Friday, May 8, 2026Another Revisit to "The Origin of the Self-Destructive Species" Hypothesis This is yet another re-visit to a column that I have posting periodically for quite some time --- because it continues to be appropriate to do so. The premise is that since our species, homo sapiens, is the only one that, for its survival, depends upon conversion of mater that it finds in its environment, rather than consuming and using matter directly, ownership of the means of conversion holds the key to species survival.

Saturday, May 2, 2026The Origins of the TrumpRepublican Party: A Different View from that of Steve Schmidt This column is about my view of the historical origins of the current TrumpRepublican Party and how it differs from a perspective on it recently presented by the columnist Steve Schmidt (of whose work I am a great admirer). Steve traces it back over the last 20-30 years or so. I trace it back to the founding coalition of the party, in 1856, and the policies that it has followed since the election of Pres. Hayes in 1876.

Wednesday, April 22, 2026The Traitor King: The Duke of Windsor (a re-run) This column is a re-run of a column about the dealings with the Nazis that the never-crowned English monarch, Edward VIII/future Duke of Windsor, a Nazi sympathizer during the 1930s, had with the Nazis during the summer of 1940 about a possible place for him in a future fascist Nazi-German government of Great Britain. The parallel is, of course, the impending visit by Charles II to U.S.'s homegrown fascist leader.

Monday, April 20, 2026The Establishment of 'The New American Republics --- Under God' This is a future fictional speech, published in the 1996 book from which it is excerpted. Why am I re-publishing it at this time? Obviously, when we have a (non-Church-going) President who compares himself to Jesus Christ, and a Vice-President (a relatively recent Catholic convert) who tells the Pope that he should go back and study theology more, that's a pretty easy question to answer. Welcome to The New American Republics.

Plus (of course) a few additional comments of mine on the subject matter, here and there. Page 1 of 37 First Last Back Next 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 View All |
