Saturday, September 28, 2024The Secession Option Should TrumpRepubloFascism triumph in the upcoming election, in one way or another, for the first time since 1860 our nation faces the possibility of Secession, by those states in which the majorities of their populations believe in the Rule of Law and that the parts of Project 2025 that would be implemented would amount to an overturning of Constitutional government. Some of the major practical problems are also considered.

Thursday, September 12, 20249-11 23rd Anniversary Retrospective IV: 20 Questions This column revisits one that I published in this space on the 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 Tragedy/Disaster. This column has only minor changes from the original, which are noted. Principally, it presents 20 questions concerning the events and their aftermath, which, as it happens have yet to be satisfactorily responded to. Thus, in my view, it is important to re-state and revisit them.

Wednesday, September 11, 2024The Dick Cheney/Harris Endorsement: In Terms of the Interests of the U.S. Ruling Class (and how they got to be that way) Dick Cheney endorses Harris/Walz ???!!! What is going on? Has Cheney become a Democrat? No. Have the Democrats become Cheneyites? No. Rather, over its time in existence the capitalist ruling class has developed two sorts of state power in order to maintain control of the political economy. One is constitutional democracy; the other is fascism. Cheney is simply indicating which form the ruling-class sector he represents, wants.

Friday, August 30, 2024Beyond its Horrific Content: P2025 Would Destroy U.S. Constitutional Democracy by Decree This column presents a brief analysis of the proposal from the Heritage Foundation to replace U.S. Constitutional Democracy with a system of government which falls under a generally accepted definition of fascism. (I have discussed fascism numerous times in my columns. The definition that I use is presented again at the end of this column.) The column presents the major features of P2025 and discusses its Un-Constitutionality.

Friday, August 23, 2024Voting for Jill Stein; Revisited Here I visit a concern that many of us who are terrified by the advent of what I call "TrumpRepubloFascism" and the Right-radical precepts/provisions of "Project 2025" which, despite what Trump is saying now, would be fully implemented were he to return to the Presidency. That concern, of course has to do with Jill Stein's candidacy and what it could mean for a Harris-Walz loss of the vote in one or more swing states.

Friday, August 16, 2024Trump Flees: Revisited In the light of Trump's recent public speculation that he might leave the country should he lose the next election, including naming a country with which the United States does not have an extradition treaty (how about them apples?), with a new short introduction, I am re-running a speculative column on that possibility that I published about 2 1/2 years ago.

Thursday, August 8, 2024TrumpRepubloFascism and Project 2025 This column is (yet another) review of TrumpRepubloFascism, this time in the context of Project 2025, from which Trump is trying everso hard to run away. His weight and girth are not the only reasons that he is finding it impossible to do that. And oh yes, here comes Steven Miller.

Friday, August 2, 2024Trump's 7 Magic Tricks: On Full Display at the NABJ 2024 Annual Meeting This column is about Trump's appearance (some, ahem, would say "totally disgraceful" appearance) at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists. Obviously, Trump's lifelong (some might say inborn) racism was on full display. In this column I analyze that appearance in the context of "Trump's Seven Magic Tricks," about which I have been writing for quite some time. (Note, there used to be only six.)

Wednesday, July 10, 2024The "Shall He Stay or Shall He Go" Controversy, in a Shakespearean Context I am presenting here, anonymously at the request of the writer, a fascinating analysis of the "Biden-should-he-stay-or-should-he-go" controversy, in the context of several of Shakespeare's plays. I think that it is a) most intriguing, and b) very well done. I hope that you do too. Page 2 of 34 First Last Back Next 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 View All |
