From a recent NY Times article that says it all – “Authoritarians often turn the government into a machine for enriching themselves, their families and their allies.

Sunday is a Blessed Day
The future of America depends on the support of the public. It is up to the public, the people of America to go to the polls and vote for their preferred candidate. It is ridiculous that Americans are supposed to go to the polls to vote on a working day. Many people cannot find the …
Here, There, or Anywhere
As people cannot afford to live in Manhattan anymore, they must go further and further out of the city to find homes.

Enemy of the People
Democracy is a difficult and fragile form of government. It requires a healthy and educated public to function. It is clear that Donald Trump wants to destroy our democracy. His attack on Universities and health services makes it ever more clear that Trump is a dictator who wants a dumbed down, sick public totally dependent …
Trump, Haha!
Americans, wake up! Refuse to watch anything produced by ABC or Disney as a consequence of their decision to remove Jimmy Kimmel from the air. They have decided to support Donald Trump’s personal vendetta against anyone who disagrees with him. It is a total denial of free speech and of everything that America stands for. …
Another Nail On American Values
Just to give you a few portraits of Trump’s recent appointments and supporters: 1.
