Birth of the Party of Nixon: July 26, 2018
Welcome to the new “imperial Presidency.” Greetings, to the new Republican Party–the party of Richard M. Nixon.
MoreResist Hate
Masterfully crafted commentaries on our lives in the 1970s are no less insightful and true when taken in today’s context. The lyrics of “Love’s in Need of Love Today,” speak poignantly of hatred and division and the existential threat they pose.
MoreTrump, Greitens and the Money for Vets Scam
Recall the early days of Greitens’ governorship. He was hobnobbing with Trump on a regular basis. What was that about? It seems that it may have been about learning the ins and outs of scamming the public from the master “scammer-in-chief,” Donald Trump.

MoreQueen Serena and Crown Princess Naomi
Yesterday’s women’s singles final at the U.S. Tennis Open was epic on many levels. The game was a brilliant display of mastery–technical, physical and psychological by Osaka with momentary flashes of the same by Serena. Fans also witnessed another monumental moment in tennis in yesterday’s championship match. With all eyes on her, Serena stunned spectators […]
MoreKaepernick Won-NFL 0
Kudos @Nike for lifting up and standing up by giving Colin Kaepernick the resources and platform to continue his fight for social justice.
