Ok, here we go. Why do we waste so much time bashing the Republicans? Why aren’t we getting on the Democrats for not doing their jobs which is critical right now. They don’t seem to be doing much of anything to move us forward. We should be taking...

The Pope’s spokesman said it’s a slap in the face, but Trump’s announcement that the US will not subscribe to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change is more than that.

I know that it is absurd to worry over whether I prefer Trump or Pence as president. But I do. Somewhere in the reaches of my mind, I feel a need to hope for something to change, but have felt that Pence was no improvement with his homophobic,...

Donald Trump is correctly accused of being anti-science in the interest of being pro-business. That’s half true: as an empiricist Trump is the most aggressively ignorant president since Franklin Pierce. But his decisions on the Paris Agreement and the...
