Trujillo was a murderous thug but he earned the respect and admiration of the Dominican people by building highways, hospitals, and schools.

Duke Ellington (1899-1974) is the most important musical figure in American history. I had the wonderful fortune of seeing him in concert. Daybreak Express, written in 1933, is a premonition of what Jazz would become before and after World War Two.

EVERYTHING Trump does (including using the US military) is done with the intent of enriching himself.
He'll never refund the tariffs because he believes that money is now his.
This moron's legacy will be pedophile protector and fascist lacky.

The disproportionate population of the states makes the US senate the most undemocratic institution of our government. The founding fathers couldn't have seen 250 years into the future. If they could this ill-conceived compromise between the large and small states would have been a non-starter.

When my son first played Metalcore for me I said, "that's not music. It's machine guns and transformer explosions." With patience and careful listening I discovered I was wrong.

It was the Stamp Act of 1763, passed by parliament, that broke the transatlantic back of the British Empire.
The American Revolution was not about "No Kings."
The American Revolution was a war about money and territorial conquest between members of the same rapacious class society.
Let's get a few historical facts straight.
Power in England was effectively transferred from the monarchy to parliament in 1688.
The British and the Americans were members of the same social class who believed in the principles of liberal democracy established during the Enlightenment.
