Are the New Congressional Progressives Real?
What follows is an encore for a column I wrote in 2018 for the new progressive Democrats elected to the House of Representatives. The Democratic Party won control of the House in 2018, and again barely in 2020. There was no response nor adoption of any of these power-enhancing suggestions from any of the novice […]

A Battle of the Sexes
If America’s women want men to change, they’ll need to change, too, for the sexes rise and fall together. By Carmel RICHARDSON Something is wrong with American men, and everyone can see it.

The Plan to Carve Up Russia
By Mike WHITNEY For decades, the idea of dismantling the Soviet Union and Russia has been constantly cultivated in Western countries.

Kiev Snubs Christmas Truce… No Peace or Goodwill From NATO and Its Frankenstein Monster

The 800-page gorilla of a report from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the Capitol seems strangely silent on a few matters that, apparently, were a bit too uncomfortable for the Committee to take on. So, buckle up for a discomfiting ride with our investigative team that has been tracking […]

Donald Trump, the Most ‘Dangerous’ U.S. President Ever
If Trump were by any chance the thing of the past, why is the System so brutally after Trump again? The former U.S. president Donald Trump will be charged and he will spend the rest of his misanthropic life behind the bars – says Jamie Raskin, a Democrat and the member of the Congress Board […]

BLM, OWS and the Folly of Street “Activism”
We begin this long and winding ode on August 7, 2012 — a classic hot-and-humid Big Apple summer day. I was taking part in a demonstration called “Occupy Saks” and I came within an eyelash of being arrested by seven cops. I’ll get to that shortly. For now, I’ll explain that the protest was ostensibly […]
