It’s difficult to imagine a greater U.S. strategic mistake than to align itself in any fashion with Israel.  The United States and Israel have different objectives and strategic goals in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.  Israel is trying to “change the map of the Middle East.” It therefore is trying to create instability throughout the region in its effort to secure geopolitical domination.   More

One of the things that should bother economists more than it seems to is the loud chorus of complaints about affordability. Since wage growth has consistently outpaced inflation for the last several years, especially for the lowest paid workers under Biden, it seemed things should be getting more affordable, not less. I have seen the More

A sweeping rollback of U.S. environmental protections is moving through Congress with remarkably little public attention. In December 2025, the House quietly passed the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act, legislation that would dramatically weaken—and in key areas effectively gut—the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the nation’s cornerstone environmental review law.

When Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu launched their military aggression against Iran on February 28, they appeared convinced that the war would be swift. Netanyahu reportedly assured Washington that the campaign would deliver a decisive strategic victory—one capable of reordering the Middle East and restoring Israel’s battered deterrence.

The only U.S. politician cognizant of this stupendous danger is old left Bernie Sanders, who recognizes the late-capitalist AI tsunami coming for us all. He’s the only one asking questions about what happens once governments and corporations turn More

While Trump’s Iranian War may continue to capture our much-needed attention, it is essential that the public see this conflict as representative of our Trump era of rule, where rules are twisted far beyond their original intent. Despite the Administration’s propaganda for starting a war with Iran, like many of his other actions, it is More

Tyrant Trump’s favorite snarl is “You’re Fired!” That was his bellow on The Apprentice television program. Subsequently, he told hundreds of thousands of federal civil servants and contractors, “You’re Fired!” Shame on the pitiful Democratic Party that allowed him to regain the presidency last year. It is long overdue for the Democrats in Congress to More

Prologue I recently came across with an unpleasant memory from the past – chemicals that last so long in the environment that are now known as “forever” chemicals. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences defined the so-called forever chemicals as follows: “Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large, complex group of synthetic chemicals More
