Trump is a traitor, but politicians and the media won’t say it The media and many people in Congress will not say the obvious, but most Americans agree Trump is a traitor. The establishment won’t say it because they are caught in the gray zone between the legal definition of a traitor and the common-sense…
It’s probably no coincidence that the current sky-high predictions about AI’s ability to outthink many humans reached a crescendo in 2024, when almost 50% of the nation voted for a convicted criminal and pathological liar to become their supreme leader. Earlier, in the 2020 election, almost 47% of Americans voted for a convicted criminal to…
The loan and credit industries prey on the desperate who need to buy essentials, and even luxuries to satisfy some desire. These people, average Americans struggling to replace a broken refrigerator, repair an air conditioner, or pay for groceries, are easy prey for lenders of all stripes in the most advanced consumer and advertising-driven society in history…
The U.S. is run by a man with serious mental problems who has surrounded himself with others who want to benefit from his madness and ability to provide them with lucrative jobs.
It’s clear the victims of the Jeffrey Epstein child sex scandal will not get any justice in the US. The Trump administration, its Justice Department, jurisdiction of importantly placed corrupt judges, and an inert FBI, and corrupt US Attorneys, all point in the same direction: Too much time has passed, the victims cannot produce evidence,…
One of the best time-tested ways to engage in nonviolent protest is to boycott corporations with abusive power structures that directly engage in anti-consumer behavior. Unfortunately, this is a long list. In a consumer, corporate-monopoly environment, this would be a long list, so the best approach is for boycotters to focus on a limited list…
When the first Trump regime ICE raids began in 2026, the news media covered the rows of marching, masked, and heavily armed troopers as a normal event, part of the federal Homeland Security program. But it was definitely not a normal event. The sights of masked gunmen walking down residential streets with fearful residents wondering…
Call it karma or historical coincidence, but there are a few things in the Trump, ICE, and Department of Homeland Security playbook that are too close to Nazi history to ignore. These things could be coincidental, but MAGA and Trump are copying from the rise of fascist regimes, so they have much to borrow from.
American laws against sexual exploitation, molesting, and trafficking underage persons are established laws at the state and federal levels. But how those laws are actually applied and prosecuted depends entirely on who is doing it, where, and how much money and political power they have. This is evident in the front-page cases against Jeffrey Epstein,…
As the largest consumer society in the history of the world, Americans now face a collective credit card debt of $1.23 trillion. The average family credit debt is between $10,000 to $11,000. This large debt is accompanied by painfully high interest payments of about 23%. If no payments are made on a $10,000 loan, interest…
Since about 1991, the US has spent about $14.2 trillion to finance some 13 wars, or more than the total spent by the world’s eight most significant military powers. Most Americans never hear about American colonialism or the US government’s coups and coup attempts, but this is what is playing out before everyone’s eyes as…
It’s clear that predatory capitalists— hedge funds, private equity funds, and real estate developers—have taken over the investment world with the help of the Trump and Biden administrations. Private equity is one of the greediest forms of unregulated capitalism. It deceives the public, misleads investors, and bribes politicians and regulators at the state, local, and…
The old aphorism that the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This is a perfect description of the Democrat Party. This aphorism works perfectly to describe the Democratic National Committee and all the other elite Democrat groups that have been mistakenly entrusted to get Democrats…
The War on Drugs is in the news again, and Republicans don’t like it. Mainly because this War was a $1 trillion failure. Trump said one main reason for the new tariffs on Mexico and Canada was because of fentanyl smuggling by cartels into the U.S. But the facts don’t support that. From the north,…
As the video above points out, insider stock trading is rampant in Congress, and it’s a way for elected officials who are supposed to be doing the people’s business to become rich. Insider trading is a federal offense and has a straightforward definition: it’s “the illegal practice of trading on the stock exchange to one’s…
When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. –Thomas Jefferson What would the Democratic Party look like today if the administration of President Barack Obama had prosecuted the senior executives of the nation’s largest financial firms that caused the 2008 mortgage-related recession? Could those prosecutions have prevented Donald Trump from being elected to his first term?
The dismal election results of Democrats are proof the DNC and other Democratic organizations are in disarray. Until the DNC accounts for how Harris wasted $1.5 billion, Democrats should stop contributing until there is accountability. Dear Democrats: Since Trump was elected about one month ago, there has been no response to his election and your…
When the Federal government added to Mangione’s charges, it showed the strong link between predatory corporations and government. Within days after the murder of Brian Thompson, a senior executive at the UnitedHealth Care insurance company on a Manhattan Street, the company announced that it was reviewing its customer rejection policies. Meanwhile, another healthcare industry executive,…
