The military-industrial complex, a term brought to life by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his 1961 farewell address to the nation, is widely acknowledged, quoted, and even embraced today.Yet, ironically, the ubiquity of this embr...

Here’s the real reason Trump supporters are not fazed by his brazen lying and corruption

There is nothing new in trying to figure out Trump. His appeal and his personality have been the subject of countless analyses and speculations since long before he ran for President. Yet the mysteries continue. Why do people like him? Why does...

Do those closest to Trump think he’s fit for office?

Several times since 2016, I have criticized the performance of our current President Donald J. Trump.  This little essay is, one might say, “a horse of a somewhat similar color.”  Like many observers in our concerned society, I have speculated...

Why the US bombed Auschwitz — but didn’t save the Jews

Seventy-five years ago this week—on March 19, 1944—German troops marched into Hungary. The country’s 800,000 Jews, the last major Jewish community to have eluded the raging Holocaust, now lay within Hitler’s grasp. The railway lines and bridges...
