Well, what we got in 2016 was the most terrible president in my baby boomer lifetime. And that took a lot, because just about all of them before him did nothing to help working stiffs. In 2020 the big money Democratic machine pushed, in my estimation, the worst...

On April 4th, 1967, almost one year before the empire took him out, Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous anti Vietnam War speech at Riverside Church in NYC. Please note that after this remarkably written and given speech, many of his political, media and wealthy...

Ask yourself this: Knowing what horrific genocidal revenge that Israel has dished out since Oct, 2023, why have both the Biden and now Trump 2 regimes enabled it? I mean it is one thing to simply ' Look the other way' to remain somewhat neutral, but to continually...

Oh boy, 1970 was a crucial year for this writer. Nineteen years old and just baptized into activism on May 5th, with no celebration for Cinco de Mayo that year. My campus at Brooklyn College was closed down by the mass of students like myself who were pissed off at...

I have spent my entire life since the age of five as a sports fan ( standing in our living room watching Johnny Podres finish off the Yankees for the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers' world championship on a tiny black and white TV). Played four years as a wide receiver at...

In 1961 Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted experiments on obedience. Basically, he set up a fake testing office whereupon two volunteers would be participants each time. Actually, there was only one volunteer each time, as the other was a...

I gotta get back to doing standup comedy. I mean the **** is so smelly and deep no matter where you look. Don't you just love those countless television and radio commercials showing Americans how those lovely corporations are there ' To help you'? I...

An ocean of time goes flying by for the 32 years we are sidekicks. This writer has had many male friends, who, at the time, were my sidekick. Eddie, Tommy, Carmine, Warren were pals who I hung out with, played ball with, chased after women with, cried on each other's...

As a student of metaphysics since my college days, I have finally realized the truth. You can spend all the millions of hours reading Edgar Cayce, Astrology books, Past life testimonials and of course the best book I ever read, The Autobiography of a Yogi by...

There are three major motion pictures that every working stiff should watch... and recommend to others. The first such film ( and of course there are so many more) this writer recommends is Martin Ritt's 1970 The Molly Maguires. Inside the disgrace of the feudal...

Let's get it out there, as the kids in my 1960s youth would exclaim 'Damn Straight'!! All those fellow citizens of mine who still drink the Trump led Republican Party Kool-Aid, shame on you! Goddamn it, they just followed the leader and made sure the Super Rich got...

When you find out the woman you have loved for 32 years is terminal, reality sets in completely. The evil fed beast of greed, selfishness and lack of empathy stands there through the camera lens, with such arrogance. One wonders how the MAGA WORLD feels today when...

The group of Ascended Masters stood outside of the station. As the train pulled in it was Jesus The Anointed One who spoke first. "Fellow Masters, take a good look at this sight, for this is the reason we are all down here." This was Purgatory, the only place other...

I met David in sixth grade. We seemed to hit if off from the start. I had forgotten that we played against each other in Little League. Funny how some things escape us while other, more insignificant ones, stay with us seemingly forever. Not only were the two of us in...

John Lennon, prolific as a writer as much as a performer, wrote this: Working Class Hero As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be A...

In Eric Kurlander's 2017 book Hitler's Monsters he sums up the whole 'Fuehrer Messiah Complex' in a nutshell: "In the Nazi version of history and politics, Hitler figured as a redeemer who would save the German nation and lead a godly realm to an ultimate victory over...

When you're a five year old you really don't know what is occurring away from your focus. There I was, a little boy from the streets of Brooklyn, NY, USA now transported to some farm in the country. That meant upstate NY with all kinds of animals flowing by me like in...

A must see for everyone concerned about the state of our Republic is Petra Costa's 2024 documentary Apocalypse in the Tropics. Ms. Costa captures the essence of the far right wing evangelical movement in Brazil that pushed Jair Bolsonaro into the presidency in 2018....

Before one can tell a tale properly one needs to go further back in time. Five years before I was born my mother gave birth to a dead child. She carried the fetus for the entire term and then, horrifically, the baby strangled on the umbilical cord and was delivered...
