Trump Mimics Israeli Supremacist Right, Accuses Jewish American Democrats of Treason to Israel Perilously close to half of Jewish Americans don't seem to feel a really close kinship to Israelis. This alienation is accelerating in the under-40 generation of Jewish Americans, since the racism and authoritarianism of Netanyahu are rather unappealing to them.

Trump's Supreme Court overturns Magna Carta (1215) and Montesquieu (1748) for Sultan Donald John By letting Sultan Trump subvert the will of the legislature, the Court has united "the legislative and executive powers...in the same person." The result is that the sultan can "enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner." I.e., Trump can arbitrarily imprison people at the border, arbitrarily build a wall the legislature never funded, can arbitrarily have ICE detain American citizens.

Bernie Sanders: Give Aid to Gaza; & It isn't Anti-Semitism to Say Netanyahu Gov't Racist Palestinian rights have entered into an American presidential campaign, virtually for the first time. I think there is a sea change in the Democratic grass roots, and some candidates who take the old "Israel can do no wrong and it is all the Palestinians' fault" line may well be punished in the primaries.

Dear Trump: Top 7 Signs Puerto Ricans might be Americans Trump caused a brouhaha by tweeting that Puerto Rican officials "only take from USA," as though they weren't part of the USA! Then his White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley called Puerto Rico "that country" during an interview on MSNBC Live with Hallie Jackson. Puerto Rico has introduced a bill to become a state by 2021. We don't usually let foreign countries become states.

America as a Company Town: Royal Dutch Shell Workers in Penna. Coerced to Show up for Trump Shell denies having instructed the workers not to protest. This was a White House event and not a campaign rally, on the surface, but we have had all the trappings of campaigning including Trump bashing his political opponents by name and calling on the union workers in attendance to unseat their union leaders if the latter did not support Trump.

Because Sanders's Green New Deal would bankrupt Russia. If the Russians thought Sanders really had a chance, they would shift their support abruptly to a climate denier or at least a "go slow" politician.

The Saudi Problem: Wildly Erratic, and Savagely Lashing out from Yemen to Qatar to . . . Canada? There is increasing evidence that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were part of the plot to put Trump into office and then to manipulate him, a story the Washington press often ignores in favor of a sole fixation on Russia.
