This author is among the more-than-81-million disenfranchised Americans who voted legally in the November 2020 Presidential Election. Still today, we remain mad as hell, confused, depressed and disillusioned; considering the U.S. Constitution in a “just democracy” — how can our government’s Legislative and Judicial Branches allow this degree of disenfranchisement to stand? Who is intimidating […]
I absolutely loved Michelle Obama’s presentation at the Democratic Party’s Infomercial Convention. When she carried on about being an oppressed black woman, I rolled in the aisle with laughter. She was speaking to me from her twelve million dollar home on Martha’s Vineyard, off of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. That is one of the wealthiest places […]
Air travel worsens climate crisis – unless passengers are climate activists and wealthy elites Just over a year ago, newly elected U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and U.S. Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA) shocked the world by proposing a Green New Deal. One of its more controversial provisions was a proposal to build high-speed rail at […]

And yet, as of this writing, Bernie Sanders, Democrat presidential candidate […]
A main driver of left-wing thought, as evident in the policy recommendations by front running Democratic candidates like Bernie Sanders, is income inequality. Income inequality is measured by a gap in wealth; the difference between the wealthiest Americans and the poorest. To the left, not only is this inequity falsely seen as a benchmark for […]
My good friend Scott Lively, former two-time candidate for governor in Massachusetts and author of The Pink Swastika, believes the fix is in for the Democrats to select Elizabeth Warren as their candidate for 2020. And I believe he is right. (Don’t blame Scott for anything else I say in the rest of this column.) […]
Social cost of methane regulations will further constrain energy production, for no benefit Having already done yeoman’s work stifling economic growth and job creation, President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency is doubling down again. The United States created a paltry 38,000 new jobs in May: one for every 8,000 Americans. Its labor force participation rate is […]
