What if the news came out that the United States will be slammed by climate change? Well, a new report from the EIEE – European Institute on Economics and the Environment and other experts shows the US will be hit harder than almost any other country by climate change. The administration of President Donald Trump has, for the most part, used speculation and false bravado to scrap various environmental regulations, including pulling the US out of the landmark Paris climate agreement. The president went so far as to claim global warming is a hoax created by China to punish...

As an American citizen, I’m sick and tired of the game of “good cop – bad cop” politicians and the corporate elite play on us. While most of us carry on in an endless cycle of eating, work, sleep and mentally medicate in our daily lives, Washington and the press feed us a line. The latest, the miraculous wizardry of the U.S. becoming the world’s biggest oil producer again, it’s typical spoofing of Americans and the world. Here’s why. The Dallas News reports: “How booming US oil production dealt Trump a hole card in foreign policy.” Talk about putting the cart before the h...

We Americans are living in an unprecedented crisis, though many do not yet perceive it so. With Washington threatening to escalate sanction against the Russians designed to cripple that nation’s economy, my thoughts turn to World War II, and Imperial Japan and the cataclysm economic warfare can cause. This week I watched with one hundred twenty thousand Facebook users a FOX News live stream from the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on US-Russia relations. As we watched the Senate leadership threaten economic war on Russia, I was heartened a bit to see most...

In America, the infamous Robber Barons of the 19th century seem to have been resurrected. News that giant tech firms in the U.S. are to receive $9.3 billion in subsidies from state and local governments stinks of the titanic monopolists who once rigged markets and who cheated everyone to better themselves. To make matters worse, companies like Google and Amazon are robbing the coffers of some of America’s hardest hit states. A report from watchdog group Good Jobs First not only points the finger at household names like Apple and Amazon but at companies like Foxconn that m...

And the disparity in headlines speak volumes on domestic propaganda for making America great again (MAGA). When Barack Obama opened the United States’s strategic reserves to up the ante in the ongoing energy war, we witness the beginning of the end of the so-called American Dream. Fantastically, Britain’s BBC ran a story the other day about “Thousands of spills at US oil and gas fracking sites.” What a strange turn, I thought, when the world’s leading national propaganda media spits out the truth for once! Perhaps British Petroleum (BP) is losing its fair share of revenue...

Stay calm and don’t worry that your every move is monitored. Neither the government nor Dr. Evil would dare infringe on your rights further. Right? With all that’s going on in America these days it seems like we’ve been conditioned to accept anything policymakers or corporations throw at us. But the big question needling me is, “What are we allowing it?” Here’s the first report in a series on I just got through reading a very “matter of fact” story about our phones listening to us and reporting back to Big Brother or whoever. And the story is not all over the front page o...

Our country is a mess. It has been for quite some time but only now has the heap of bad to worse domestic policy peaked enough so that anyone with sight can see. What makes matters worse, is that the United States is exporting this “mess” to the rest of Earth. But that is a much broader topic. Today I would like to focus on education and the dangers of dumbifying of democracy. An article the other day by Tampa Bay Times writer John Romano caught my eye because of the catchy title “Romano: How would Florida lawmakers fare in the Bible?” As the fates would have it, another...
