The power of the U.S. passport, i.e., the number of countries to which American travelers can visit without visas, has dropped in recent years, due to friction created by the Trump administration’s abusive foreign policies, and now, of course, by …

I spent most of my voting life in defiance or non-comprehension of the message here. That, of course, was before Donald Trump arrived on the political landscape and it was instantaneously obvious the horrific danger he represented. I have a …
Here’s a video that reveals an interesting fact: that breaking the law and thumbing our noses at the police have now become admirable acts in our nation. Not sure this is a positive development in a civilized society, though it …
