One of the biggest Republican myths, and one that is even being pushed by naive or uninformed Democrats, is that Black Lives Matter and some “leftist” Democrats are perpetuating antiSemitism. This topic is too big to be discussed here, but if we measure violent anti-Semitic attacks, the data shows that were entirely being committed by…
The right-wing has dominated the media since Reagan and the Democrats have failed to counter this onslaught. The result is that over the past 40 years, right-wing media has propelled the right to take over the Republican Party and enabled alt-right groups to flourish. Why are the Dems so wimpy?.
“…10% of American college students thought that TV’s Judge Judy was a member of the U.S. Supreme Court.” One of the few strong points of the Trump presidency is that voters believe he can manage the economy better than his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden. While this is debatable, the question hinges on what constitutes “the…
It’s clear that Trump has mismanaged the country since his inauguration. His lies and blatant disregard for the law should he is a petty thief ho the Republicans elected president. Trump is bad, the COVID virus is bad and the Democrats don’t have the big solutions needed to solve the many problems facing the country and the world.
Washington DC, July 12, 2020–In a surprise move. President Donald Trump has announced that he will be replacing statues of Confederate war heroes and generals with large statues of the Golden Calf, the Old Testament symbol. “These statues will be erected starting this month and will be a great symbol to replace those heroes…
Defenders of Donald Trump have a plethora of excuses about why he does not have any links to white power groups and the alt-right. Those denials have a hard-core following, but that veneer has been fading rapidly as the economy tanks and protestors march against police shootings. In the latest episode of Trump’s unhinged behavior,…
The Trump debacle has made fools of many people who wanted to have their 15-minutes of fame in the Trump White House. For some, it was for temporary fame. Others wanted the money and perks. Others did it for ego. A few were ideological brethren with Trump’s warped ideology. But for professionals who had to…
It’s outrageous that the nation’s major Jewish organizations that combat antiSemitism are not forcing the Republican Jewish Coalition, a group that includes Trump’s largest financial supporters, to disavow any connection to Trump if he continues his alt-right links and pro-Nazi dog whistles. It’s an open secret that there is a direct connection between Trump and…
If you want a great video education about the plutocracy in America, here is a link to a 2012 Bill Moyers show that features two great reporters, Matt Taibbi, who regularly shines his spotlight on scandals involving big business and government, and journalist Chrystia Freeland, author of the book, Plutocrats: The Rise of the New…
Organizations that fight new problems with old ideas are destined to fail. And this is what is happening today as major Jewish organizations fight the rise in anti-Semitism in the Trump era. The recent report from the ADL that hate crimes against Jews reached an all-time high in 2019 should shock national Jewish organizations into…
A new report released today from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) found that in 2019, the number of Audit of Antisemitic Incidents increased by 12% over 2018, with a disturbing 56% increase in assaults.

A global pandemic. What does it mean in a global economy? Things are changing fast. There will not be a “normal” in a few weeks as we knew it. The epidemic will change business relationships. Since this site covers the financial services industry, it should impact portfolio investment advice and communications—there is no need for…
Wisconsin is a Republican stronghold and the primary election this week shows they will do literally anything, including risking the lives of its own citizens to keep power. This is the Republican model for every other state in the union. Publications want to keep power at all c costs and they will do it via vote suppression, gerrymandering, and even risking people’s lives to make it harder and harder for average people to vote. This is Trump’s Republican party and every elected Republican buys into this scenario.
Trump is widely regarded as a sociopath who also is a great manipulator. Some people he manipulates are unwilling participants, such as the hundreds of contractors and suppliers he stiffed by not paying his bills in full. Other people he manipulated were willing participants who either tried to be part of his sleazy entourage…
“We live in the age of the overworked and the uneducated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become stupid.” –Oscar Wilde, 1891 Whether a huge portion of Americans is suffering from amnesia or stupidity, combined with an under-performing Democrat Party, the net result could mean Trump wins…
Trump is not a complicated politician or businessman. He only values good news, even when it is not true. He is not afraid to lie in order to create “good news.” So, it is not surprising that the Republican governor of Ohio, Mike Dewine, has complied with a Trump administration request to stop reporting daily…
Does anyone notice that as many wealthy Jews contribute to Trump, the rate of antisemitic attacks increases? Why would Jews contribute to the Republican Party that encourages or creates discriminatory domestic policies that increase the number of antisemitic attacks? It’s no secret that the largest financial contributor to Trump is Sheldon Adelson. Adelson, a major…
One of the more inexplicable outcomes of the Trump election is his appeal to observant evangelical Christians. The first question is how people who believe in a strict interpretation of the bible, all of its commandments, and Psalms can endorse and follow a presidential administration that is led by a man who is an adulterer,…
One of the basic requirements for any good journalist in mass communications is to ask tough questions or clarify what has been said so it can be understood by a larger audience. But, sadly, many broadcast journalists do not do this. They accept any answer provided by a guest interviewee,…
