Thursday, May 24, 2018This Bishop Is Not Finished With Us Yet Presiding Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry, preacher and activist, is not done with us yet. Journalist E.J. Dionne, Jr. is not done with us either. Nor is presidential historian Jon Meacham. They each know the need for morality in politics. They "get it."
Thursday, May 17, 2018A Child Dies In The Killing Fields of Gaza In this nightmare of Orwellian reality in which we live, Israel's occupying military force continues its death-dealing ways and calls it a side. Bibi Netanyahu, grinning ear to ear, ordering Israeli soldiers to secure themselves behind safe mounds on the Gaza "border," and fire into Palestinian crowds, who were protesting their imprisonment.
Friday, May 11, 2018"Surely Goodness and Mercy Shall Follow Me" In Paddington, the original film, young Paddington settles permanently into the welcoming Brown home. Infused with the goodness embedded in him by his Creator, then sustained, initially, by the Creator's helpmate, Aunt Lucy, Paddington's goodness encounters evil in the form of someone who wants to exploit him.
Sunday, April 29, 2018Fox News and the Division of America Trump is a President who divides -- a President who shows not the slightest indication that he wants to unite this nation. He knows from polling that he has a "base," a segment of the American public loyal to his worldview based on fear of outsiders, liberal government and dislike for non-whites.
Tuesday, April 17, 2018Syria Bombing Designed to Distract After the Syria Bombing, did you have that pit-of-the-stomach feeling that you had been deceived about a military strike? Accept the Syria bombing as a Wag the Dog deceit, a pretense to deliver a largely harmless distraction for an ulterior motive, as in the manner of a Roman emperor staging a stadium show for the masses.
Monday, April 2, 201850 Years Ago They Failed to Shut Him Down Were Vietnam and poverty the issues that prompted that evil moment when King died? King had long faced powerful forces that wanted him shut down. James Earl Ray fired the shot that ended the life of a civil rights icon. What the shot did not do was end the movement King inspired.
Saturday, March 17, 2018White Evangelicals Stifle Values For Trump Donald Trump has desecrated Teddy Roosevelt's "Bully Pulpit" by preaching hatred and bigotry. He has found Satan's key to the door of racism. He has opened it and won an election which gave him enormous power to do evil. What are we going to do about it? We must fight back with what we have at our command to stem this tide of evil.
Wednesday, February 28, 2018U.S. Politicos Embrace Israel's Big Lie, "Oy Vey" The American voting public approved lying as an established form of governing, when it elevated an established liar as President in 2016. When we elected someone who made lying the Order of the Day, it went from being a dark shadow over American politics to a total eclipse.
Wednesday, February 14, 2018Friedman Visits and Vouches for Israel When New York Times' columnist Thomas Friedman travels to the Middle East, he brings with him a deep devotion to the state of Israel, and a longing for what he thinks ought to be.
Wednesday, January 31, 2018Trump's SOTU Reality Show Exposes His Dark Side Standing at the podium in the House chamber, giving his State of The Union speech, the President was in his element. He was the star of his reality show. Members of Congress and the nation, watched him perform. Half the Congress cheered on cue. They rose to their feet in their enthusiasm. The other half remained respectfully sullen and subdued with only the occasional moan.

Saturday, January 13, 2018Trump's Racism "is a tragedy in a man and a disaster in a president." There is nothing subtle about President Trump. In his narcissistic existence, he occupies a personal bubble where men dominate women and people of color are shoved aside into other bubbles of white-imposed inferiority. Inside our president's bubble nothing matters but Donald J. Trump.
Monday, January 1, 2018The Slap That Should Be "Heard Round the World" The IDF continues with its "protection" of Jewish settlements which are anything but "harmless." The settlements are an established movement through which Israel plans to totally control Palestine.
Friday, December 22, 2017That UN Vote: "How are the mighty fallen" Prior to the vote which rejected the U.S. President's "gift" of Jerusalem to Israel, the U.S. Representative to the UN, Nikki Haley, warned nations that votes against the U.S. would be remembered. She added, "We will take names," sounding more like a Mafia Don than a diplomat...
Sunday, December 10, 2017The President Who Stole Christmas I can tell you this... we will celebrate Christmas this year, because Christmas is obviously more than the trees and lights and music... but it won't be a merry one. President Trump stole our Christmas in Palestine right along with our capital, our history and our rights.
Thursday, December 7, 2017Trump Speech "Irresponsible and Reckless" The Congress and the President are co-conspirators in the gift of Jerusalem to Israel. The blame is theirs to share. The response to the gift in the region and in the world will be far reaching. The American public is not with them. Elections in 2018 and 2020 are near at hand.
Wednesday, November 29, 2017US Bill Would Target Israeli Military Child Abuse The bill currently has 15 co-sponsors. Its introduction comes "several weeks after a report was released by Israeli rights groups, with the support of the European Union, which revealed 'broad, systemic abuse by Israeli authorities,' against Palestinian teenagers detained in occupied East Jerusalem."
Tuesday, November 14, 2017Remembering Paul Findley and Yasser Arafat Any hint that Yasser Arafat was an admired leader of an oppressed people, was a danger to Israeli's false narrative. For Findley to treat Arafat with respect, and do so as a member of the U.S. Congress, was anathema to Israel.
Sunday, October 29, 2017Lord Balfour's Letter Was 1917's "Fake News" The Zionist-Balfour letter was a lie. It was "fake" because it was was written to satisfy the desires of empire-builders and the Zionists while pretending to guarantee the Arabs equal treatment. The truth was that Britain officialdom cared little for the Arabs in Palestine. They actually viewed them as a "problem."
Tuesday, October 10, 2017One Final Perilous Journey For Gertrude Bell When Queen of the Desert had its limited run earlier this year, it finally surfaced. There was still money to be made so the film now has DVD exposure. On October 3, Netflix and sites like Amazon, began renting or selling copies.
Monday, October 2, 2017October Arrives As We Celebrate Earth and Sky The celebration of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union is the first of two anniversaries in October, 2017. The second will arrive October 31, preceded by other events, all pointing to the day 500 years ago when Martin Luther posted 95 thesis on the city hall door in the small German town of Wittenberg.
