Ken Burns Program “The American Revolution” Spotlights Similarities Between Trump and the British King

My wife and I are enjoying the Ken Burns documentary on PBS, “The American Revolution.” Like the British King, Trump has imposed unpopular taxes and laws, dissolved government agencies, and used force against Americans. The similarities between Trump and British King George are striking. ► British General Howe invaded American cities with troops from 1775 to 1778,…

Make America Healthy Again? Not With This Self-Inflicted Wound

The Department of Education’s new rule narrowing which graduate programs qualify as “professional degrees” is not a technical update. It is a targeted attack on the sectors that keep Americans alive, educated, and functioning. Starting July 1, 2026, entire fields dominated by women will lose access to the federal loan limits required to earn the degrees their professions demand. This is not a small…

Pima Dems Chair: We Will Not Be Gaslit Into Normalizing Political Murder

We are witnessing a descent. Above all things, pathological narcissists fear most the mirror to their true failings. “Judgment cometh,” Donald, and right soon. When a sitting President toys with stochastic terrorism, when his words become ammunition in the hands of the unhinged, we reject the fiction that this is just “rhetoric.” It is a strategy. It is a push of a murderous…

Arizona Democratic Congressional Reaction to Congress Passing Bill Telling the Trump Regime to Disclose the Epstein Files

The House Vote was 427 to 1. The Senate moved by unanimous consent to pass the House legislation the minute it arrives in the upper chamber.

“History Matters:” Democrats Need to Reconcile Themselves with the Successful Biden/Harris Legacy

From Facebook. Democrats have a tradition on souring on Presidents of their party in real time despite their records of accomplishments when those Chief Executives follow predecessors who are the parties versions of dream leaders.

I Agree with Rachel Bitecofer… Reality Bites

Seldom to do pen a post just to quote and recommend the work of another - unless it's just too good to miss and exactly what I was about to say myself (but probably with more unnecessary words!). Today, political scientist and practitioner Rachel Bitecofer did just that: When the government reopened, cable pundits called it a cave. Twitter called it surrender.
