Bernie Sanders: The Vicious Snake Biden Once Accommodated is Now Biting Him
Like every heir apparent to the throne, Joe Biden wanted to succeed Barrack Obama as president of the United States. But two things derailed his best-laid plans. There was the death of Beau, his son, a sad loss that took a severe emotional toll on him....

The Importance of RBG
     Imagine waking up tomorrow to learn that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, will no longer be on the Supreme Court. If you're a Democrat, or a Liberal, or an Independent, who is already troubled by the chaos the Trump presidency is unleashing on the...

Tucker Carlson vs Michael Avenatti
     Tucker Carlson, who inherited Bill O’Reilly’s time slot on Fox News, has several things in common with his predecessor host. They’re both angry white male chauvinists with little to offer the public beyond white supremacist talking points. They’re...

The Demons in Comey's Mind
With so many shocking things happening these days under President Donald Trump, it should come to no one as stranger than fiction that ousted FBI director James Comey is urging all Americans to vote for Democrats in the next midterm elections. Comey...

Justice Kennedy’s Retirement: How Do You Like That, Susan Sarandon?
The thought that President Donald Trump could soon be replacing retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy with a hardline conservative judge makes my anger boil not at him, nor at Mitch McConnel who denied President Barack Obama that same prerogative, but at...

It's Going to Get a Lot Worse Before It Gets Better
    Last summer, a young conservative writer penned an interesting opinion piece for the New York Times, in which he expressed a mea culpa for the role he played in the election of Donald J. Trump as president. The Trump administration was just a...

Donna Brazile's Utter Lack of Judgement
    Donna Brazile, vice president Al Gore’s former campaign manager, must be truly desperate for money and attention. Since she was kicked out of her last gig at CNN as a political analyst for allegedly giving Hillary Clinton a leg-up against Bernie...

I Wish David Axelrod Will Just Chill Out
You have no idea when it arrives, but that moment in a presidential campaign surely arrives when a side sadly feels the end has come even before the first vote has been cast. The heart becomes heavy-laden with premature grief as its rate lurches into...

The Media Now Has the Horserace It So Shamelessly Wanted
Hillary Clinton was riding high in the polls two weeks after the Philadelphia Convention. Against Donald Trump, the national polls had her either in the double digits, or high in the single realm. So were the swing state polls. Smugly confident she’d...

Joe Scarborough's Hollow Outrage

Donald Trump and the Media Bring Shame to America
I wish it were possible to have the presidential election this moment and have the winner declared a few hours later. Of course, such would surely produce Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States. A most desirable outcome, you’d...

Nina Turner: The Bride at Every Wedding, the Corpse at Every Funeral
I’m not a staunch believer in the old principle of “An eye for an eye” because retaliation is often not the right thing for moral man to do. But there are a few times I have given a good thought to that principle and appeared to justify it. Revenge can...

The Obamas and the Clintons: One Good Turn Deserves Another
I went back to read the transcript of President Bill Clinton’s rousing endorsement of President Barack Obama during the latter’s reelection fight four years ago. At the DNC convention in Charlotte, N.C., Clinton said the following which helped to...

Hillary Hit it out of the Park with Tim Kaine as Veepee
Of those key figures who supported Bernie Sanders's failed quest for the Democratic nomination, none was as ubiquitous at his campaign rallies and pumped up with so much passion as Nina Turner, the former Ohio State senator. Turner, who herself had...

Chris Christie's Jeremiad
These are not the best of times for Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor. The man has just lost a golden opportunity to be thrust back into the limelight once his days as governor are over. There are reports that Donald Trump wanted to pick him as...

Counting Seriously on Sanders
Waiting for Bernie Sanders's endorsement of Hillary Clinton sure took a while longer than was usually the norm, prompting many to be dismissive of the 74 years old senator from Vermont as a mean, petulant, egocentric fellow who could not take a defeat...

Death of a Black Man in Italy
Governments all over the world talk a good game about ending racism in all its ramifications. Yet, what has been found to be lacking, is the sincerity or political will needed to wrestle it brutally to the ground. Earlier this week, two young...

Why Bernie Sanders Needed That Vatican Trip Badly
      After Thursday night’s heated debate with Hillary Clinton in Brooklyn, Bernie Sanders chartered a Delta 767 flight to Rome for a one-day conference at the Vatican. He had in tow close to 50 people, among them his wife, four grandchildren, other...

Black Lives Matter: What Do You Want the Clintons to Do?
      I watched video clips of three related events last week. They could endure in the memory for a long time. First, there was Bill Clinton at a Philadelphia campaign stop. Shilling for Hillary, his wife, Clinton tried to engage members of the Black...

Whatever Happened to the Positive Campaign Sanders Promised?
     In a recent piece published here, I wondered if Bernie Sanders, former Independent Vermont senator, who has lately become a Democrat only for the purposes of this presidential election, was actually out to destroy the electoral prospects of the...

Like Trump in the GOP, Is Sanders out to Destroy the Democratic Party?

On Hillary Clinton's Rolling Stone Endorsement
      Inside-the-beltway pundits believe that not much store should be set by a newspaper’s endorsement of a candidate in an election. No matter how consequential a publication is, no matter the authoritative sweep of its editorial voice, its...

If You're a Democrat, Please Order a Bowl of Popcorn
Every passing day seems to bring new, jolting surprises to all those attuned to the ongoing campaign for the White House. Just when you think that the lowest of nadirs has been reached already by some of the candidates on the Republican side of the aisle,

Just Too Bad for Hillary Clinton's Enemies
Not long ago, it used to be the case that Hillary Clinton's political enemies --- let's call them that --- were to be exclusively found on the Right. Not so any more. Today, you have just as many, if not more visceral, Clinton haters on the Left, too. Thi

Ain't No Stopping Trump
Recently you’ve heard talk of how the Republicans plan to congregate in Cleveland in July to have a brokered convention, a possibility that arises only when any of the current field of Republican candidates, especially Donald Trump, fails to notch up 1,23
