Religion is being abused and used to hurt people and democracy. Honest religion suffers as a result.
See this smart, insightful article: Conservative Christians and Republicans are abusing religion. They hurt people, democracy, and religion itself.
Trump and Trumpism (Also see Our Current Political Crisis)
Conservative Christianity’s merger with Republican Party hurt both of them — and our entire nation.
I wrote this short insightful article to explain some aspects of our nation’s current political crisis: After conservative Christianity merged with the Republican Party, everyone has been hurt

Right-wing Christianity merged with the Republican Party and is hurting America.
After the 2016 election I wrote a thorough essay about how we got into our nation’s current political mess. This “mess” had already existed before Trump came along as a politician. The “mess” has several component parts. One of the problems leading to our current crisis is that right-wing Christianity merged with the Republican Party in the 1970s. This corrupted both Christianity and our nation’s political and societal realities. Here is a VERY SHORT SUMMARY of this: In the 1970s several right-wing Christian TV preachers and junk mail organizers mobilized millions of right-wing people around “culture war” issues. They worked […]
“Impeach Trump to Protect the Constitution and the Rule of Law”
The September 2019 interview on “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” TV series builds a solid case for protecting our constitutional democracy by activating the part of the Constitution that our founders created in order to correct the kind of crisis our nation is experiencing now. Two knowledgeable guests — Bonnie Jones and Steve Rubicz — discuss what impeachment means, how it works, the compelling reasons for impeaching Trump immediately, and what the American people can do now – instead of waiting for the November 2020 election. Bonnie and Steve are active with Puget Sound Communities for Impeachment. Our nation’s founders wanted to […]
It is POLITICALLY SAFE to impeach Trump. Most House Dems want to impeach him now.
As of August 26, 2019, a clear majority of House Democrats — 130 — want to impeach Trump. A majority was reached at the beginning of August 2019. See this article: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/house-democrats-majority-impeachment-inquiry-donald-trump_n_5d4316c4e4b0ca604e2ebeca?ncid=newsltushpmgnews__Politics__080219 This article from August 13, 2019, says that it is POLITICALLY SAFE to call for impeaching Trump: https://www.thenation.com/article/democrats-impeach-donald-trump/ This article says House Democrats should not worry about impeaching Trump – and pundits should stop trying to make Democrats worry about taking that action. The article says worrying about “swing districts” exaggerates the actual Trumpiness of those districts. The 2018 midterm election showed that Democratic voters […]
Trump wants to take away your right to get information. SIGN PETITION.
On August 20, 2019, this information came from the non-profit organization at www.198methods.org: The Trump administration is trying to rewrite the rules on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in order to keep pollution and corruption hidden from the public. The key is what’s called a “no records” response, which allows political appointees like Andrew Wheeler and David Bernhardt to decide what information is released to the public. Fortunately, a bipartisan group of senators has introduced the Open and Responsive Government Act of 2019 to safeguard FOIA requests and ensure the public’s right to information.

Trump’s Atty. Gen. William Barr is WRONG about policing: Here are two articles.
Trump’s Atty. Gen. Barr demands absolute obedience to police and attacks “social reformers.” See article: https://www.businessinsider.com/william-barr-zero-tolerance-fraternal-order-police-speech-2019-8 The Justice Collaborative (www.thejusticecollaborative.com) reported in August 2019 that “[i]n a public speech, Barr took a major jab at prosecutors who fight to end mass incarceration – claiming they lead to more crime and more victims. He warned of ‘District Attorneys that style themselves as ‘social justice’ reformers,” claiming they are “anti-law enforcement.’ But here are the facts: between 2007 and 2017, 34 states reduced both rates of incarceration and crime – proving that mass incarceration does absolutely nothing to improve public safety.

Even more evidence that Trump is far, far too crazy to be president
A psychiatrist warned that Trump is in a “psychotic-like state” and “he’s empty.” Read this interview and watch the powerful 9-minute video. The Constitution’s 25th Amendment creates a way for high-ranking federal officials to remove a president who is physically or mentally unfit to serve, but this article and the video do not address it. Thoughtful people can pursue that along with impeachment for Trump’s many crimes and his many violations of the Constitution. Many of those are rooted in his extreme craziness. Here is the article: https://www.alternet.org/2019/08/hes-empty-psychiatrist-warns-trump-is-in-a-psychotic-like-state/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1220&recip_id=22838&list_id=2 Evangelicals told Trump he was ‘chosen’ by God.

Trump’s FBI, etc., go after blacks, Muslims, etc., but largely ignore white nationalists and right-wing terrorists
The term “terrorist” has been slanted to make people think of Muslims. The term “gang” has been slanted to make people think of Blacks or Latinos. But actually, nearly all of the mass shooters have been white, and many of them have been RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS (some quoting Trump’s rhetoric) who targeted the groups that the Trump regime and other propagandists have been pressuring the public to fear and hate (LGBTQ folks, Muslims, Jews, etc.), along with random people. If we want to stop the epidemic of mass shootings — and hate crimes — we must look at who is committing […]

Expert exposes Trump’s suppression of truth: “The White House Blocked My Report on Climate Change and National Security”
The White House Blocked My Report on Climate Change and National Security Politics intruded on science and intelligence. That’s why I quit my job as an analyst for the State Department.

U.S. tests missile that the INF Treaty would have prevented, but Trump canceled the INF Treaty.
On August 18, 2019, the U.S. tested a ground-launched cruise missile that the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty had prohibited since the Reagan-Gorbachev era, but Trump’s cancellation of the INF Treaty went into effect earlier this month, so now the U.S. and Russia are fighting a new Cold War. See the article I linked below. It has this headline: “Nuclear Weapons Arms Race Is Here”: Russians, Anti-Nuke Experts Denounce US Missile Test The article begins with these short paragraphs: A spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin said that “such tests only proved that from the very start, the Americans were […]
