Since December 2017, deeply aggrieved Iranian citizens have publicly denounced two blatantly linked injustices perpetrated by the corrupt ayatollah regime: the clerical dictatorship’s hideous corruption and Iran’s acute economic deterioration. Iran’s Islamic revolutionary dictatorship is a case study in repeated failure, incompetence, corruption and mass murder. I estimate that since 1990, I’ve written over two […]

One thing Canadians tend to be is sensible. And so it is surprising how many would consider making Prince Harry and his wife, the former Meghan Markle, king and queen of Canada. Harry is a beneficiary of the lucky sperm club, and Meghan was TV actress from Los Angeles. Do Canadians really want to defer […]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s strategy of holding on to the two weak articles of impeachment against President Trump was starting to rattle some Democrats, who felt they were losing the political battle. Last Wednesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told reporters, “If we’re going to do it, she should send them over,” adding, “I don’t see […]

Sen. Susan Collins, who spearheaded a ban on gag clauses that prevented pharmacists from telling patients the cheapest way to buy their medicines, is continuing the charge to make prescription drugs more affordable. Senior citizens and the disabled are among those who could especially benefit. The “Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act,” bipartisan legislation which Sen. […]

Donald Trump isn’t George W. Bush. That should be obvious to everyone by now, but his critics and even some of his supporters immediately acted as if it were 2003 on the cusp of the Iraq War when Trump took out Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani.

Yes, that would be ideal, but a diplomatic solution […]

The new year has been celebrated and we return to “ordinary time”: Daily routines of work, school and organizations. So too returns that endless stream of political drivel: printed, posted and broadcast. Within days, the talking heads will get (or compose) a fresh load of rubbish to spread along with their fact free conclusions. Candidates will seek every opportunity for camera time and political advertisements will push the skin creams and antacids off the air anywhere […]

In the torrent of idiotic commentary unleashed by the killing of Qassem Soleimani, Colin Kaepernick’s deserves a place of honor. The NFL washout and Nike persona who makes sure the company doesn’t produce any overly patriotic sneakers tweeted, “There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of […]

Throughout this unsettling conflict with Iran, Joe Biden has stood out as a calming Democratic voice, speaking of the stakes and challenges with deep knowledge of foreign policy.
