Egberto Willies is a political activist, author, political blogger, radio show host, business owner, software developer, web designer, and mechanical engineer in Kingwood, TX. Visit his podcast here. Egberto is an ardent Liberal that believes tolerance is essential. His favorite phrase is "political involvement should be a requirement for citizenship". He believes that we must get away from the current policies that reward those who simply move money/capital and produce nothing tangible for our society. If a change in policy does not occur, America will be no different than many oligarchic societies where a few are able to accumulate wealth while the rest are left out because it is mathematically impossible to catch up.

A white supremacist called my show and did not get what he expected (VIDEO) A white supremacist called my show into my Politics Done Right show this week. I pride myself on giving every caller the opportunity to present their point of view. But I am never shy about civilly and respectfully refuting them. And I did just that.

The Establishment is starting to reassert. The Trump overthrow may have started (VIDEO) The shocker continues to fly. What does it say when the architect of your win believes you only stand a 30% chance of fulfilling your first term as President?

Corporate Media forced to cover the constant Bernie Sanders rise They tried to beat Bernie Sanders by ignoring him. They found out that it was impossible to beat a real message especially one that is existential.

Likely Ted Cruz opponent Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) clarifies position on Medicare for All Many Progressives are concerned about Congressman & Senate Candidate Beto O'Rourke (D-TX)'s position on Medicare for all. In fact, in an earlier interview, I did with Beto, he also left his stance a bit unclear. He clarified it directly when a potential constituent forced him to narrow his position.

Scathing Ad by Republicans on Trump's COVID-19 response. Truthful & Powerful. One wonders if an ad by some old-time rank & file conservative Republicans just may do the trick. Will it bend the indoctrination curve?

Senate passes the Republican tax cut scam that will pilfer the middle-class (VIDEO) The Senate in a marathon session effected one of the most massive thefts on the middle-class and the poor. The tax cut scam is at least a $1.5 trillion transfer of wealth from the masses to a wealthy few. But we can still stymie it as it goes into the conference between the Senate and the House.

Single-Payer Medicare for All will increase taxes but you should want that I got a call from a Politics Done Right listener who said he heard that Single-Payer Medicare for All would increase the taxes of most people and it would increase government expenditures. I told him that in fact, it would raise taxes for most but that is not the whole story. To be clear, every individual will be better off for precise reasons.

Did GOP Senator John Thune blame victims for being shot? Kinda really CNN's segment describing who Las Vegas mass killer Stephen Paddock was illustrates the problems with the media. To many, the piece is an attempt to humanize Paddock as they promote his neighbor's description of him as a gentle giant.
