We've given up slavery even though it is endorsed in the Jewish & Christian Scriptures. Therefore, shouldn’t we also give up the idea that the Jewish people are biblically entitled to what was the already inhabited land of Canaan?

Someone tell Pam Bondi it's time to talk about the Epstein files. The Dow is under 50,000.

"when Trump announced the idea of tariffs to address the trade deficit... every economist around the country said: That's a very bad idea, that won't work....

If you look at 2025 as a whole, we have basically the same trade deficit...

So I'm going to score this one for the economist, mate."

If Trump and the GOP had truth on their side and had faith in their convictions, they wouldn't keep resorting to personal attacks, lies, bigotry, crime, and conspiracy theories. They've got nothing and they know it.

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Of course being the nephew of the Attorney General has nothing to do with getting no jail sentence for killing an Aboriginal person and showing absolutely no remorse only further racism. None at all. They said so. 🀬

The press has reported on yesterday’s Supreme Court decision as if it were only about tariffs. Wrong. It’s far bigger and even more important. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-tariff-decision

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

When you wonder why I castigate my fellow citizens more often than our leaders, consider that the United States is *this far* from war with a nation of 90 million people and no one seems to give a hoot.
It's not like they don't know; ten minutes of watching the news would tell them.

The Things You Learn … … from reading crime fiction. Silly me. Even though I enjoyed Australian writer Matthew Reilly’s well-researched historical fiction Mr E...

I wish I’d known about convict leasing & peonage when students & I were talking about the over-representation of African Americans in prisons.

I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding

Anyone else like me pissed off at the ISIS brides treatment claiming they’re a threat to Australia while ignoring the real threat of IDF soldiers returning to Australia unquestioned? These women weren’t killing kids and unarmed civilians, IDF soldiers on the other hand….
