LETTER TO THE EDITOR
This is not about Donald Trump. It’s not even about the sad souls seduced by him. The insurrectionists who stormed the Capital to prevent the peaceful transfer of power were primarily guilty of being gullible. They merely fell for the big fraud. They did not do the defrauding. Many have been held accountable for their actions. Most of the ones who fooled them have not. Yet. 06/26/2024 00:00

OUSTANDING COLUMN
I was very impressed by the guest column written by Lawrence Wittner in the recent issue of the Bulletin. He wrote about Donald Trump’s anti-union actions including directing the National Labor Relations Board to undermine workers’ attempts to unionize in order to advocate for themselves. 06/26/2024 00:00

You’re Never Alone with Christ
When we face a struggle, it can feel like we're alone. We can vent or unload to a friend about what is going on but often be left feeling they just don't understand. 06/26/2024 00:00
Bad News for Biden
Bad News for Biden
The mainstream media is running with the headline that the latest Fox News poll shows Former President Trump two points behind President Joe Biden – a difference well within the margin of error – but the poll also reveals an edge for Trump on a majority of electoral issues. In addition, a majority of voters say the race in November will be about the issues, not about the candidates, a finding that could significantly favor Trump. 06/26/2024 00:00
Choose Your Don
Choose Your Don
(Don – Italian - A powerful Mafia Leader) That clever old dude, President Biden, keeps building on his Republican claimed “crime family” laurels. After pulling off the humongous effort of stealing the 2020 Presidential election, he has now spearheaded the felony conviction of Donald Trump on 34 counts. He did not even need to use the US Justice Department to accomplish this as non-federal Manhattan prosecutors took care of the dirty work. 06/26/2024 00:00

6 Reasons Why You Should Get Help For Your Mental Health
6 Reasons Why You Should Get Help For Your Mental Health
Many people underestimate the impact that mental illness can have on an individual or family. It can be difficult to admit that you have a mental health problem in your life. Secondly, it can be just as difficult in getting the people you know to understand your situation without making any kinds of judgments. 06/19/2024 00:00
How Donald Trump Worked to Destroy America’s Labor Unions
How Donald Trump Worked to Destroy America’s Labor Unions
Although Donald Trump has been eager to garner support from American labor unions for his re-election campaign, there are lots of reasons he’s not going to get it. Chief among them is his record in sabotaging the nation’s labor movement. 06/19/2024 00:00
Fair Taxation
Fair Taxation
The total tax rate on American families is pushing the 50% level. This level of taxation is theft of labor, equivalent to slavery. The charges by the President and his bureaucrats regarding “paying a fair share” of taxes demonstrate that few have any experience in or correct understanding of what business should be about. It is evidence that when bureaucrats see wealth, they go after it. 06/19/2024 00:00

On Behalf of the Jury, I Object!
On Behalf of the Jury, I Object!
The jury system has literally been around for millennia. Early Greek democracy included citizen juries; our modern system has its roots in medieval England. The fundamental idea was that fairness could be better achieved if a group of one’s peers in the community had input into the final decision of the court and could advise the judge according to their deliberations. 06/12/2024 00:00

Former president Trump, you had four years to lead the United States and failed us by your own choosing. Whether it be in foreign policy or domestic policy, you did not protect the United States as commander in chief. 06/12/2024 00:00

Sour on Spoilers
There are currently three third party candidates for president: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein and Cornell West. All three candidates claim they are running to give voters a choice and a chance to voice their views. All three insist they are not “spoilers.” Let’s examine this. 06/05/2024 00:00

Above the Law
Many of us are following the ongoing trial(s) and in(s)ane utterances of defendant Donald Trump as he is threatened with facing the music for various criminal acts. The trial relating to covering up illegal campaign actions associated with concealing his sexual assaults and infidelities is ending as I write this. 05/29/2024 00:00

Should THE RULE OF LAW apply both: to Abbott, Patrick & Paxton’s complicity in condoning, ignoring and pardoning occasional murders of minorities and immigrants; as well as to Hamas, Bibii & Biden’s complicity in the mass murder of 35,000 Jews, Muslims and Christians, including the whole society, culture and nation of Palestine? 05/29/2024 00:00
