  • The Charge of the Padded Brigade: England in Australia

    It’s been one of the strangest cricket series on record. Hurried, frenetic, foolish, haphazard, and, at times, unbecomingly immature. The cricket between England and Australia in this, the 2025-6 Ashes series, was a recreational coke line, a narcotics fix, a dopamine thrill. But was it even cricket?  One thinks of those deathless lines from the […]

  • China Changes Everything: A Book Review

  • Sharks and Rays and Skates and Chimaeras: Spielberg/Benchley Messed it up big time back then for Great WHITES — Now?

    Sharks and Rays and Skates and Chimaeras:  Spielberg/Benchley Messed it up big time back then for Great WHITES — Now?

    As a shark conservation scientist, one of the most common questions people ask me is, “How are shark populations doing?” To answer this question, it’s important to understand two types of fishery surveys: fishery-independent and fishery-dependent. Fishery-dependent population surveys gather data from fishermen’s catches. These data are valuable because there are many more fishermen on […]

  • Whatever Happened to Trump’s “Golden Age” for American Workers?

    Although Donald Trump’s Department of Labor announced in April 2025 that “Trump’s Golden Age puts American workers first,” that contention is contradicted by the facts. Indeed, Trump has taken the lead in reducing workers’ incomes. One of his key actions along these lines occurred on March 14, 2025, when he issued an executive order that scrapped […]

  • To a 2026 of Not Fighting Over Crumbs

    Every single person in the United States, from those who’ve been most harmed to those who’ve been most privileged, would be better off if we had a normal government that put even a moderate effort into universally improving everyone’s lives. If we had a government that took trillions of dollars away from the war machine […]

    For Me, a Jew, a Painful Truth: Israel Is a Perpetual Crime Against Humanity Masquerading as a Nation

    I hold joint US/German citizenship due to the historical fact that my maternal family was stripped of their German citizenship by The Reich Citizenship act attendant to Nazi imposed Nuremberg Laws enacted in 1935. Subsequently, as the Third Reich consolidated power, by means of legalized state criminality, my family’s business interests and personal property were […]

  • Mona from the Corner

    Mona from the Corner

    She’s a little lady, 70 something, with this cute, addictive smile. Drives an old bomb of a car, replete with Peace and End the Occupation type stickers on it. She’s a nurse, still works, doing home care for very ill folks with that special Mona type TLC. I first met her at a progressive discussion […]

  • Sanctioning Fever: The United States, European Union, and Free Speech

    At present, there is a pot-calling-the-kettle-black approach being taken by the European Union and the United States regarding the imposition of sanctions upon individuals deemed hostile to free speech. On December 23, the US State Department announced that it would bar five European citizens accused of spearheading efforts to pressure US tech giants to censor […]
