Trump Followers: Safe from Forbidden Fruit in the Garden of Good and Evil
Why my conservative brothers and sisters in Christ, like Donald Trump, do not need forgiveness from God, forgiveness for which the rest of us must urgently pray. - More -
-
Trump and the Code of 1488
The outermost fringes of American right-wing militancy has something in common with early Christianity. They rely on codes. Neo-Nazis are in a position to understand the below-ground messaging of my president and his supporters. - More -
-
Statues, History, and Heritage
Sometimes the way war criminals are regarded depends on the era in which we live. In a span of 75 years, Americans had hoped to come closer to the founding ideals. Our standards should not have gone downward.
-
How Trump Wins in 2020
How about this? The election just six months away. The presumptive Democratic nominee 9 points ahead. Even conservatives attacking Republicans. And Democrats still lost in November. Here's how it happened.
-
Harry Hughes from Decades Ago, and Lessons We Should Apply to Trump
If he had paid more attention to a couple of memos, he would have been in politics a whole lot longer.
-
Nixon and Haldeman Explain How to Save Trump
The Haldeman maneuver didn't really work for Nixon. Trump has a more fanatic following. Maybe they'll fall into line. - More -
-
Why No Investigation into Biden?
The world sometimes seems to have too few heroes. America has one. He is a minor official in Ukraine. - More -
-
Heroic Future President on the Day of the Attacks
Each time President Trump tells us what he saw and did on the day of the attacks, his actions in the aftermath become even more courageous. - More -
-
Serene Sanctuaries Where We Can Comfortably Lose Our Souls
As so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ endorse, with great enthusiasm, new attacks by our government on desperately ill children, we may as well be overt about it. What would Satan do? - More -
-
Presidential Repetition
In the White House, it's been called the Swing Around the Circle, a planned rally tour to persuade middle-of-the-road voters of his moderation, and of the extremism of the opposition. But not all plans ...well... go off as planned. - More -
-
Trump as Rock Idol
My dad thought teenagers were just putting a finger in the eye of grownups. I thought it was all about the music. Half a century later the debate about the same kids has a ring to it. - More -
-
Refugees and Sanctuary - Sofi's Choice
One tragic aspect within a tragic era within the history of a great country is now being tragically repeated. And it is deliberate. - More -
-
What Colors Trump's Hatred of Immigrants?

-
Amusement and Fear at Strange, Ragged People
We treat some with fear and loathing. Others are a source of amusement. The homeless in our midst and refugees from without, at least those who with brown skin, share one fatal attribute. - More -
-
Impeachment: I Like the Book - Let's See the Movie
Impeachment may be possible, but only if this President is convicted in the right court. It is not the House. It will not be the Senate. And it will not be with any written report. - More -
-
My President Is Angry about Being Called Angry
How I maneuvered a crooked corporate executive into getting fired, and how Nancy Pelosi seems to be doing the same to a crooked President. - More -
-
My Hilarious President
With that wonderful sense of humor that is only his, my President leads his supporters in laughter. - More -
-
The Arresting Story of Julian Assange
It isn't just national security, although that is a concern. It isn't only the interference in our election, the making of Donald Trump, although that is a stain on history. What makes me glad to see Julian Assange carried away is much more primal. - More -
-
Obstruction Is Legal Whenever It Is Successful
We now have the Mr. Barr's 4 page book report. We can give it a passing grade, as long as we agree on something else - either about the law, or about Mr. Barr. - More -
-
The Uncomplicated Truth About Donald Trump
He is not a lunatic. And he is not a master of strategy. The explanation for his behavior is surprisingly simple. - More -
-
Why Trump Followers Are Devoted to Their Leader: He Is Not Toasted
The most devoted Trump support comes from those impatient with the traditional code words and dog whistles offered by Republicans for the last half century. A fictional advertising executive explains what they want instead. - More -
-
Vladimir Putin's Magic Eyes
In the last quarter century, the Republican approach to America's adversaries has gone from "Trust But Verify" to "Trust With No Limit." - More -
-
Electoral College: The Original Intent Might Not Be What You Think
If you're going to defend this terrible holdover, defend it for the single reason, the monstrous reason, some delegates demanded it and others acquiesced. It is available, documented in the the original words of the founders, as recorded by those who were there. - More -
-
Jussie Smollet Brings Back Morton Downey, Jr.
A famous actor files a false report of a brutal attack right wing by rignt wing fanatics. Nobody can quite understand why. Why would Morton Downey Jr., vicious enemy of liberals, do such a thing? - More -
-
The Lies Professor Dunning taught Northam, Clinton, and Me
We hope for our best judgment when it is necessary to judge the ignorant, the flawed, and those who have done wrong. Not all ignorance is willful. Not all evil is done by evil people. - More -
-
Rule of Law: a President, a Governor, a Worker
When we compare the prosecutions in Wisconsin and Alabama under the last Republican administration with that of our current President, the contrast is cruel and unusual. - More -
-
Power Grab: Restoring Democracy to the Nation's People
Conservatives see voting rights as a power grab. They may be on to something. - More -
-
Why Ordinary People Ended the Shutdown
It seemed as if the shutdown would never end, until it did. Ordinary people were not being hurt. And then they were. It was not about officials suddenly opening their eyes. It was about who they saw, all along, as ordinary people. - More -
-
Julian's List – At Least One of Mr. Assange's WikiLeak Items is Wrong
It is not defamation. In fact, it is the one thing he shares with my President. - More -
-
Tag Teams: Pelosi and Schumer vs Trump and the Oval Office
The words communicated what fair minded representatives wanted to say, what fair minded voters needed to hear. But Pelosi and Schumer looked like they had been pushed together into an invisible locker. It was awful. Then I saw the polls. - More -
-
My President Is Innocent, If You Will
Another day, another scandal. This time the anti-immigrant President turns out to be hiring undocumented immigrants and having their paperwork forged. He had no idea. Again. It was all done behind his back. Again. When he wasn't looking. Again. - More -
-
My President, Herod, and the Christ Child
The message seems so clear. Why are so many fervent believers in the Christmas message unable to apply it to today's world and the leadership of our own nation? - More -
-
Turkey, Flynn, Trump, and the Kidnapping Plot
A courtroom scolding of a decorated United States General, and President Trump's promise about the extradition of a Muslim cleric to Turkey, echo a murder in Washington four decades ago. - More -
-
A Small Dehydrated Child and a Crash in 1948
In 1948, a plane carrying migrant workers crashed in Los Gatos Canyon. Those deaths were nearly ignored by the press and public of the day. An echo comes to us as a small child traveling in hope from Guatemala to America is lost to dehydration and neglect. - More -
-
The NRA Killed the Coffee
We went to gallows humor when my employer made that minor change. We knew it meant the company was going down. Now the NRA makes the same minor change and it gives us hope. - More -
-
American Troops Gathering Seashells by the Seashore
Parallels in history are not hard to find with my President. The third emperor of ancient Rome used at least one remarkably similar military tactic. - More -
-
Missing the Point on Voting Rights
Well meaning people who object to, and often work against voter suppression, see the importance of dirty tricks, of cheating, of elections stolen. It is sometimes too easy to miss the most important theft of all. - More -
-
Republicans Fight in Court to Make Their Healthcare Promises Illegal
Republican candidates around the country now insist they support protection for those with pre-existing conditions. And Republican lawmakers from every part of the nation are working to get their healthcare promises declared illegal. Here's how. - More -
-
Cute Little Bonnets and Republican Social Security Plans
Cute little blue and pink baby bonnets can teach us something important about the reasons Republicans are giving for plans to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. - More -
-
Trump Tax Cuts and the Napkin
The Trump administration tax cuts for the wealthy, and Republican plans to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, can all be traced back to a line drawn on a napkin in 1974. - More -
-
Warren was Silenced - McConnell Persists
Last year, Elizabeth Warren challenged the documented history of a nominee and was silenced under an arcane rule. This year, Mitch McConnell directly challenged the integrity of opposing Senators and the rules were ignored. It helps to control the rules. - More -
-
Judgment on the Judge
Judicial philosophy is a key. So is whether a drunken teenage sexual assault occurred, with later false denials. But one other key disqualification has been proven to a moral certainty on national television. Brett Kavanaugh does not belong in a courtroom. - More -
-
Kavanaugh, a Sober President, and Republican Clean Hands
An old joke and an ancient legend might give a Senator or two guidance in doing the right thing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, and the Republic itself. - More -
-
Trump and the Condor
It is a fictional lament from four decades ago. When our national leadership sees only winning and losing sides, we all lose. - More -
-
Honest Evil - Just Prosecute My Enemies
This is not the first time a President decided to use the Justice Department to prosecute political opponents. This is just the first time a President is proud enough to boast about it in public. - More -
-
Hoover, Pecker, and Trump - the Wheel Turns, the Game is the Same
My President and his lawyer thought they could buy all the dirt their friend had on Mr. Trump. But J. Edgar Hoover had taught later generations how to play the game for fun, profit, and power. They never had a chance. - More -
-
National Security and the Head of a Racehorse
If Donald Trump decapitated every horse that ever won a race, he still could not intimidate intelligence officials. He is no Dick Cheney. - More -
-
My President's Bully Pulpit
Political experts have trouble understanding our President's actions, not because of the complexity of his behavior, but because of its simplicity. There is not an ounce of nuance within him. His path is always the shortest distance between one point. - More -
-
Let's Kill Democracy to Save It
Photo IDs are said to prevent the type of individual voter fraud that is so close to non-existent that the requirement is sometimes referred to as a solution looking for a problem. But photo IDs actually solve a problem no sponsor wants to admit. - More -
-
My Conservative Friend is Taken In by Lies About San Francisco
When I vote for President, Governor, or local dog catcher, It should matter that I am not a citizen of another country. So I was shocked when my conservative friend told me that San Francisco is letting non-citizens vote. Then I did some checking. - More -
