Allen Clifton wrote an article thanking Fox News’ Shep Smith for standing up to Trump. My comment deserves to be published here as well. I do not think that Trump’s support of Russia is any “one thing,” but rather a collection of multiple things. Even his ego is two things. Here is the list so …

Allen Clifton of Forward Progressives wrote an article entitled, “10 ‘Horrible’ Things That Would Happen if Progressives Got Their Way in the United States”. I thought that my comment deserved to be a post here. When I first read the title of Allen’s article, I sadly missed the quotes. I was totally curious what possible …

The Concept of For Profit Health Insurance Companies
Allen Clifton wrote an article entitled: “The Two Words Republicans Will Never Admit are the Cause of Our Health Care Issues.” The two-words are “for profit.” Here is my take on the thought. I do agree that for-profit insurance companies cannot provide adequate healthcare coverage. At the very minimum, there is the perpetual battle to …

Why People Vote Republican
I made a comment on a recent post on Forward Progressives. The post discussed John McCain (R-AZ) saying that American leadership was better under President Obama and concluded that Republicans sold out their country by embracing Trump. I made a comment that Republicans sold their soul a long time ago. One can argue with the …
Comments on 5-Points Raised About Comey’s Testimony
Allen Clifton, Forward Progressives, wrote an article talking about the 5 standout points raised with James Comey’s written testimony before Congress. I wanted to add my take to that. Donald Trump behaved like some sort of mafia boss Trump is not “like” a mafia boss. He IS a mafia boss, twice over. First, the Republican …

Do I Support Democrats
Allen Clifton of Forward Progressives wrote an article talking about how Trump supporters are fragile little snowflakes. I already commented on this post of Allen’s. I received a comment, which I wanted to address. The comment is: no one is saying that democrats are perfect, but at this moment, republicans are running our country and …
The Corruption of the Republican Party
I talked with someone last night and the state of the Republican Party came into the discussion. This person mentioned the obvious, namely that the Republican Party got corrupted, possibly always has been, by power, money, and special interests, not to mention bottom feeders. As you probably are aware, power and money corrupt. It takes …
Top 11 on Trump and the Nazis
Dan Rather gave a commentary on Trump’s incompetence, which Allen Clifton wrote about. There is a link to Dan Rather’s commentary on Allen’s post. I wanted to give my own two-cents on the article. Yes, we live in dangerous times. The analogous would be somewhere in 1920’s Germany with the rise of the Nazi Party …
A Plea to the Right
I read about the security breach that Trump made yesterday, when the story broke on The Washington Post and subsequently I read the other stories on CNN and the like. I also read where Trump majorly expanded the Mexico City rule creating the “Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Initiative” yesterday. There was also …
Elections Have Consequences and an Election Do-Over
More and more I see that Trump is an exaggeration of Republicans as a whole. Getting rid of Trump would not make anyone better off, as then we would have Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, or any other nut job on the right. They are all dangerous. Yes, Trump arguably is more dangerous, as …

How the U.S. is Currently Like Richard Strauss’s Opera Salome
Last night I saw the opera Salome by Richard Strauss and could not help thinking how the opera applies to our situation today. The character of Princess Salome would be the mindless sheep that follow the GOP ignoring facts and believing whatever propaganda falls their way. Salome as near as I can see takes place …
