Friday, July 5, 2024Is a 2nd Civil War Coming? No. It's Already Here (less the shooting --- so far) After defining what a "civil war" is, and listing some of the major ones that have occurred in history, I make the case that: a) given the Supreme Court's recent amendment of the Constitution in re Presidential powers (without going through the normal Constitutional amendment process), and b) the release of Project 2025, intending to govern policy in a next Trump Admin., the U.S. is in a so far non-shooting 2nd Civil War.

Tuesday, July 2, 2024The Supreme Court's Power for Constitutional Review is Unconstitutional (Ho, ho, ho) The Supreme Court's decision in "Trump v. United States," using its "review for Constitutionality" power, precisely enables the establishment, through the manipulation of the law, of a future fascist-in-practice dictatorship (which of course would destroy Constitutional government in the United Sates). Here I am re-posting, from "The 15% Solution," a fictional Rightist Supreme Court's decision removing that power from itself.

Friday, June 14, 2024The Israeli Likud Coalition's Policy of Expulsionism: Revisited This column is a revisit to the original, published in this space a bit over a year ago. (That one was in turn based on previous columns. I have been writing on this subject for quite some time.) This version has a new brief introduction, on the question "why won't Israel come to a settlement of the current crisis, which would at least get the remaining hostages returned." Simply, because their true objective is Expulsion.

Friday, May 24, 2024The National Legalization of Marijuana Use: A Policy Whose Time Has Come? After almost a Century?" This column is about marijuana and other drug (tobacco and alcohol) use, the so-called "Drug War," and two reports on marijuana, one from 1970 and the other current. They both came to the same conclusion: marijuana-use has few potential harms, and should be legalized. Of course we are now into the 6th decade of the "War on Drugs" which has done virtually nothing for drug use, but has caused great harms. Some history is here.

Friday, May 3, 2024Israeli Nationalism, Zionism, Gaza, and the New International anti-Semitism As my regular readers know (and some of my occasional readers will know it too), I have been writing on Israel, the Israeli Right, and the awful plight of the non-Israeli Palestinians on a regular basis for the past year or so. This column focuses on the multiple meanings of the word "Zionism," which are NOT always one and the same as the policy of the current government, which I describe as "Israeli Nationalist."
