This article is VERY LONG, but it is worth seeing. Trump REPEATEDLY — 595 times — screwed up seriously regarding Coronavirus. Here is the document: This VERY LONG article documents hard facts of 595 Trump abysmal blunders about Coronavirus
Military recruiters AGGRESSIVELY target students. Most high schools ROUTINELY give military recruiters the names, addresses and phone numbers of the schools’ students. If you are a student — or know someone who is — you can “OPT OUT” of this invasion of privacy. Print out this form, fill it out, and turn it in to your school: Opt Out from Military Recruiters — 11-inch form
In 2017 I wrote a thorough essay explaining that Trump, the Republican Party, big business, and other conservatives are hell-bent to PREVENT the government from solving problems. Their whole “worldview” supports their mania to enable their elites (whites, rich people, big business, “patriotic” Americans, etc.) DOMINATE EVERYBODY ELSE. Although decent people want fairness and justice throughout our society and in the economy, and fairness and peace in our nation’s dealing with other nations, Trump, Republicans, etc., reject that and are RADICALLY DESTROYING humane governmental, social and economic policies in order to enable rich, racist, cruel people to PREVENT the government […]
Many people recognize that the U.S. is suffering a crisis that is seriously jeopardizing our Constitution, our democracy, and our freedom. Here are just a few articles from August 2020 that will remain relevant: Our stressful times tempt people to “escape from freedom” and seek conspiracy theories, authoritarian leaders, etc. When you open this link, be sure to click through all pages of this interesting article: https://www.opednews.com/articles/Mechanisms-of-Escape-from-by-Blair-Gelbond-Advertising_Alienation_Buddhism_Capitalism-200823-598.html A few giant corporations have amassed huge wealth and political power — and are pushing the U.S. in wrong ways: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-18/monopoly-power-lies-behind-worst-trends-in-u-s-fed-study-says?emci=3e848430-6ae2-ea11-8b03-00155d0394bb&emdi=da0563eb-70e2-ea11-8b03-00155d0394bb&ceid=3273229 America is descending into fascism because this serves the […]
We Need Universal Single-Payer Health Care Now! The September 2020 interview on “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” examines our nation’s persistent failure to provide health care for everybody, persistent failure to control costs, and chronic injustices in paying the bills. The U.S. spends twice as much per capita than other nations do, but many millions of Americans have no health care at all, and Americans’ health outcomes are worse than other nations. Two knowledgeable guests explain the problems in clear, understandable ways – and they propose a smart, cost-effective way to cover everybody with high quality health care at lower cost than […]
The June 2020 TV program for the “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” TV series addresses the serious problems that we are experiencing and encourages people to boldly envision solutions. People know the status quo is bad – and they want to solve the problems. But nearly everybody is bogged down in feeling powerless. They don’t feel empowered to solve the problems, and they don’t know how to proceed. This TV program — and the transcript I have posted at this link, 2020.06 BOLD FUTURE — TRANSCRIPT with MORE INFORMATION and RESOURCES — start by confronting the serious problems in our world, our nation, […]
Several times I have posted information to this blog about Trump’s cruel, racist, partisan manipulation of the 2020 Census. Now he is doing it again in a different way. See background here in this post from July 30, 2020: http://parallaxperspectives.org/trumps-latest-scheme-to-use-the-2020-census-to-hurt-immigrants-and-democrats See this NEWER INFORMATION: In early August 2020 the Coalition on Human Needs (www.chn.org) reported this: The Trump administration is planning to end the constitutionally required U.S. Census before it is even completed. Missing children and vulnerable people throughout our country would have a devastating two-fold effect for the next decade: cutting funding for a wide range of programs that have […]
Most Americans do not pay attention to what Congress is doing about nuclear weapons. Congress funds horrible weapons, but a few members of Congress do introduce good legislation to restrain the nuclear arms race. I produced this document with information about GOOD BILLS TO SUPPORT — and BAD BILLS TO DEFEAT. See this: Federal legislation and policies to SUPPORT or OPPOSE Please contact your members of Congress (House and Senate) to urge appropriate actions. Thanks!
The year 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the U.S.’s atomic bombing of Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9). Many peace organizations have planned activities to help us remember and to say NEVER AGAIN. Women’s Action for New Directions (WAND, www.wand.org) and Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF, www.wilpf.org) and other groups are live-streaming activities throughout both of those days. See the full schedule and register here: https://www.hiroshimanagasaki75.org/events Some of the survivors (Hibakusha) wrote a statement and encourage people to sign on to it. Here is their statement: “The two atomic bombs dropped on August 6 […]
Trump’s mismanagement of COVID-19 led to more than one million new cases in 15 days in late July 2020. SEE THIS: https://www.pfaw.org/blog-posts/falsehoods-and-failures-trump-during-covid-19-july-24?utm_medium=email&utm_source=nl&utm_campaign=july2020 MOST of the Americans who died in the pandemic died BECAUSE OF TRUMP. See www.TrumpDeathClock.com A competent estimate in July 2020 was that 87,655 Americans died from COVID-19 because of Trump’s failure to act effectively. Also, see this: In January 2020, the Trump administration was advised that immediate action was required to stop the spread of COVID-19. According to NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, “there was a lot of pushback” to this advice. President Trump declined to act until March […]
Trump refuses to take responsibility for any of his many horrible decisions and failures. He blames the Coronavirus on Chinese people, Democratic governors, the news media, and so forth, but he refuses to admit that Trump’s own stupidity, ego, incompetence, mismanagement made the crisis much, much worse than it would have been if we had a competent president. When he took power in January 2017 the Executive Branch agencies included two offices that were responsible for watching out for pandemics and planning in advance how to effectively manage pandemics in case they emerge. Trump ABOLISHED those, so he PREVENTED our […]
On July 21, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 324 to 93 (with 13 not voting) to DEFEAT a proposal to move a mere 10% of military spending to human, environmental, and health needs. Here are the lists of 93 YEA and 324 NAY votes: http://clerk.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.asp?year=2020&rollnumber=148 It’s rare for our local Representative Denny Heck (WA 10th Cong.Dist.) to vote correctly on such an issue, but in this case he was one of the 93 who voted to cut the Pentagon’s budget. MOST Democrats joined ALL Republicans (except for 13 Republicans who did not vote) in defeating this sensible proposal. NEITHER […]
The U.S. Constitution REQUIRES a Census — and explicitly EQUIRES counting all “persons.” It does NOT say “citizens.” Trump tried before — and he is trying again — to ABUSE the 2020 Census in order to hurt immigrants, hurt the communities where they live, and hurt Democrats. Trump’s abuses are VIOLATING the Constitution. But the Democratic Party refuses to impeach him about this. Previously I had posted information to this blog about how Trump was trying to abuse the 2020 Census for his racist, political advantage. See those posts. SEE THIS for a collection of background articles: http://parallaxperspectives.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=2377&action=edit NOW […]

The U.S.’s right wing and Republicans have declared war against science, so they are driving a horrible escalation in this deadly disease. Trump and his obedient followers have made the U.S. #1 in denying science and in escalating the pandemic. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/7/16/1961288/-Brace-yourself-for-the-latest-COVID-19-predictions-You-re-not-going-to-like-them?detail=emaildkbow1 Coronavirus increases horribly in some states, especially because the Trump regime REFUSED to take effective nationwide actions. Trump and his regime REFUSED to take responsible actions. They punted to states. Many states (especially those controlled by Republicans) were as grossly negligent as Trump, so now they are increasing their numbers of cases. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pandemic-response-states-doomed-coronavirus_n_5f0cc715c5b6310dc1573168?ncid=newsltushpmgpolitics The […]
Here is a list of almost three dozen warnings Trump ignored about the coming pandemic: The June-July 2020 issue of The Progressive magazine (www.progressive.org) listed this sequence of almost three dozen warnings that Trump received that the Coronavirus crisis was coming, but Trump stupidly, incompetently, negligently refused to heed any of these warnings. For more than three years (from January 2017 to May 2020) Trump should have paid attention and taken actions to protect our nation, but instead he denied and belittled the problem, and he allowed the pandemic to make the U.S. the very worst nation in the world […]
