Trump’s mug shot looks […]
Throughout all of Trump’s behaviors, crimes, vindictive insults, etc., we must recognize these TWO HARD REALITIES: 1. Trump has NO CONSCIENCE. 2. Everything Trump does is for his own EGO, POWER and WEALTH. Trump has NO CONSCIENCE whatsoever. He was a spoiled brat who never grew up. All he cares about is his own ego, his own wealth, and his own power. He will NEVER REPENT because his psychological disabilities prevent him from understanding that he has ever done anything wrong. He must be stopped (nonviolently, of course) and prevented from causing any further damage to the world. I’ve posted […]
For a number of months starting in early 2023, a new group called “No Labels” — No Labels — has claimed to be an independent organization that is NOT a political party and is promoting an alternative to presidential nominees from the two big political parties. However, it is building state-level organizations and it is acting like a political party — or at least a front for one (the Republicans). It seems to be well financed from “dark money” sources. It seems to be organizing to take more votes away from Biden than from Trump in the 2024 presidential election. […]
What the War on Terror Has to Do With the Rise in Mass Migration: The war on terror has led to the displacement of at least 38 million people, many of whom fled for their lives as fighting consumed their worlds. https://www.thenation.com/article/world/mass-migration-war-on-terror/ For two decades, presidents in BOTH big political parties have been escalating the U.S.’s “War on Terror” in Africa, but this has produced more violence, wars, terrorism and even national military coups. Pentagon says terror attacks in Africa increased 300% over last decade As the United States has quietly expanded its military footprint in Africa, the violence […]

“No Labels” Says It’s Not a Political Party. But It’s Setting Up State Parties. Democrats and Never-Trump GOPers are worried about the group’s 2024 plans. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/07/no-labels-is-setting-up-state-parties-2024/ “No Labels” is an opaque $70 million scheme that could make Trump the next president. In April 2023 a progressive source of political information (www.popularinformation@substack.com) reported this: No Labels, the purportedly non-partisan organization that supports Republicans and conservative Democrats, is making preparations to promote a third-party presidential ticket in 2024. The group says it is “laying the groundwork for a potential independent unity ticket in 2024” as an “insurance policy” in case both […]
Most nations in the world want nations to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). See www.icanw.org for more information about the Treaty. The U.S. and the other 8 nations that own nuclear weapons oppose the TPNW. We have an uphill struggle to promote it. Fortunately, three dozen House members have introduced H. Res. 77 to support the Treaty. Here is some information. Please write to your U.S. House Representative and urge them to take the necessary step and co-sponsor H. Res 77! A smart organization is working on the “Back from the Brink” package of 5 […]

Here is Bob’s smart article: Revised WIP Submission by Bob Zeigler on Nuclear Weapons
These two articles were published in early 2023: Evo Morales: Washington orchestrating coups in Latin America The former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, accused the US administration of being behind what he called the judicial coup against Argentine Vice President Christina Kirchner, the ousting of former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo, and the recent attempted Donald Trump-style coup in Brazil against President Luiz Inacio Lula. Morales, who was his country’s first Indigenous president, has expressed support for the ongoing protests in Peru, and is banned from entering the country.

The September 2023 TV program in the “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” series helps us understand how some big businesses are allowed to break federal laws – and get away with it. Big business corporations have enormous wealth – so they also have enormous power. The federal government should be making them obey the laws, but – instead – the government keeps refusing to hold them accountable. This hurts all of us – and our health – and our environment – and our sense of having an honest government. One expert guest helped us explore this topic. Rick Claypool is a research […]
This has POWERFUL INFORMATION and SMART INSIGHTS. I strongly encourage you to watch this TV program and/or read the transcript with additional information. The August 2023 episode of “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” TV series provides a FRESH, BOLD, CREATIVE re-thinking of U.S. foreign policy. Our status quo of seeking “national security” really urges military violence. Instead, I explain how TRUE Security would be based on fairness, cooperation and nonviolence. The U.S.’s foreign policy angers the world and does not even make us secure. The TRUE Security I propose would actually solve the problems that make the world dangerous. It would make […]

I explain why President Biden should not have caved into House Republicans’ bullying. I explain the very bad parts of this bi-partisan bill. I explain what Biden and Democrats should have done instead. I explain the remedies that would have been better than […]
