CONSTITUTIONAL AFFRONT-In violation of the separation of church and state, American tax dollars are funneled to fundamentalist private schools teaching crackpot absurdities – such as a claim that Noah probably took two baby dinosaurs onto his ark. 

REICH DIARY--If climate change, nuclear standoffs, assault weapons, hate crimes, mass killings, Russian trolls, near-record inequality, kids locked in cages at our border, and Donald Trump in the White House don’t occasionally cause you feelings of impending doom, you’re not human.

WORLD WATCH-Trump’s order to kill General Soleimani is one of the most reckless acts taken by a president, who once again has put his personal political interest above the nation’s security.

ONE MAN’S OPINION-Generally people blame the liar for his falsehoods, but matters can be more complicated as we are advised by the adage, “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”

GLORIFYING WAR-Yes, our infrastructure stinks, our schools are failing, this country’s a nightmare of inequality, and there’s a self-promoting madman in the White House, so isn’t it time to take pride in the rare institutional victories America has had in this century?

OTHER WORDS-The awful truth about the corporate and governmental power elites in our democratic society is that they really don’t like democracy at all.
