The Post-Trump "Restoration" When he was finally gone, nothing less than a thoroughgoing cleansing of the foul-smelling stable was in order. That was "The Restoration" era, years of undoing the great damage his administration had foisted on the country.

"Stop the World, I Want to Get Off": Trump and Authoritarianism Yes, Trump's politics are toxic, but more scary are the millions of his supporters buying into the neo-fascist mindset. How to deal with that authoritarian-leaning movement.

It's the Stupid, Stupid Barack Obama is not stupid and he says he doesn't want his administration to do "stupid things" in foreign policy. So why, then, has he done a reckless, stupid thing by starting a new, two-theater war in the Middle East? And why did that war in Syria have to commence immediately as an existential necessity?

A Successful "Negotiation" of Israel/Palestine Peace Treaty Something has to change if there is to be any serious movement toward peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. If there is no such movement, we can expect yet another generation of hatred, intransigence, slaughter of the innocents. So here's one dramatic scenario for how peace might be obtained.

Cutting Through Fukushima Fog: Radiation in U.S.? If the reactor-meltdown disaster at the Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Fukushima is as dire as much of the evidence suggests -- a "ticking time bomb," now with more radiation crossing the Pacific by air and ocean -- what can the U.S. and international community do to mitigate the worst effects?

Capitalism in Crisis: Who Are the REAL "Takers"? While capitalism is struggling to redefine itself in the face of obvious disfunction and populist anger, how should progressives react? We may be getting closer to a revolutionary tipping point than appears to be the case.

Letter to European Friends: Understanding "The Stupid" in U.S. Politics Precis: Here are informative hints, and some historical contexts, to help decipher the current bizarro world of Washington, D.C. It's a 50-year-long descent into Republican partisan warfare, with some post-Civil War resentments added to the Tea Party mix. Read it and weep.

The Momentous Confrontation in Turkey Precis: The Erdogan government in Turkey made a bad mistake in unleashing massive violence against those opposing its Istanbul redevelopment project -- like going after a bothersome gnat with a howitzer -- and now it's not clear which side will emerge victorious. Either way, it's going to be of monumental importance in the region.

Where's "The Revolution"? In America and across the globe, citizens are desperate and angry at the social, economic, political forces crushing their hopes and dreams. The "objective conditions" for revolution would seem to be in place. What's keeping it from happening?

"A Modest Proposal": Bring Back the Inquisition! American society is in desperate shape. Wimpy liberalism can't really solve the various problems. It's time for something more muscular, more robust, more (how shall we say?) medieval in its effectiveness.

The Water Is Wide: Building a Revolution There are outbreaks of positive, activist responses to GOP extremism in the U.S. -- but there's not a coordinated effort to create a national movement against the worst excesses of the HardRight.

Mystery of American Political Madness In our current plutocratic system, rarely do leaders in positions of power ever have to pay a real penalty for their bad, or even illegal, acts. Either they are given a free pass or they find a "bad-apple" scapegoat. Republicans had one goal and one goal only: destroying his presidency in order to regain their political power, and all the perk$ that go with that power.
