"Decline... Sometime..."
*"Decline... Sometime..." * by Fred Reed "I am not sure why people write columns. Partly from boredom, I suppose, or lack of anything better to do. Partly from exasperation. Yet partly from the hope that if enough people collectively become aware of problems, they might, just maybe, do something about them. I can’t believe this any longer. Today’s crimes, lunacies, and decays are too many, profitable, and intractable. We are racing out of control toward some as yet dimly limned catastrophe. Hang on and take the ride. To begin with, America is no longer a country. It is a set of sp... more »

As the special counsel's investigation of Trump turns into a partisan battle in Congress, here are four key issues to follow.
THE GOP USED TO BE BETTER AT MANUFACTURING CONSENT THAN THIS
According to the developing narrative of this moment, President Trump was riding high after Attorney General William Barr's letter seemed to clear him of all charges in the Russia investigation, but then Trump and his administration spoiled the celebration by going off on tangents. Here's Politico: OVER THE LAST WEEK, the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION has taken several tactical and political steps that would be seen, in any other administration, as such massively stupid political blunders that one would wonder if someone is asleep at the switch. ... These all seem, to some degree, to be sel... more »

Commentary Sniglets
*Juicy Smolett* It's not *white privilege*, it's privilege. The poor have been being pushed around by the rich since there was that distinction between poor and rich. Rich nations with vast resources and an intelligent population have prospered and have exploited the poorer neighbors. To expect that it is not so is to deny reality and history. Ambitious, talented people who are born into circumstances of poverty can rise above that in America. Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Ben Carson are examples of that.
