I am a professor at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. My field of study is sociological social psychology with a specialty in prejudices. I read a lot. I read almost any genre of fiction. I get enough reality at work.

There should be protests against Trump's unilateral decision to make war with Iran.

Now Trump has bombed a nation with nuclear capacity. There will be no peace prize for the man that has started WW III.

Since when do our elected officials rule by extortion and threats. This is our country and our government. Neither kings nor demigods have a place in it.

Fortunately NPR and PBS only get about 1% of rgeir operating budget from the feds. I think we should all donate to them so that T Rump's petty and vengeful politics result in an overall gain for public television and radio.

He swore to uphold the Constitution. Yet he continually violates it. That is treason.

Yesterday, I helped my spouse clean up his Facebook account. He recently replaced his old tablet and downloaded Facebook to the tablet. The posts and feeds appearing on his page were racist, sexist, and right-wing propaganda. If this is typical Facebook fare, I understand why Trump won the election.

Okay, a new cognitive puzzle; I understand the French roast coffee is a method of preparing coffee beans to get a richer taste. So, how does the roasting method figure into Trump's intention of punishing Columbia by using only French roast coffee supposed to work ?????????

I only use the term in the context of the philosophy of science. Positivism is a theory that contends that there is an underlying truth that scientists can discover and prove. This philosophy disagrees with constructivist and American pragmatism.

My brother drank himself to death. He had been warned by his doctor that any drinking would kill him. He did it anyway. Alcohol addiction is devastating.

Does anyone know what the SAVE act actually says about names that have been legally changed. I read two articles that claim that as many as 69 million married women could be disenfranchised?
