Diplomacy Wins!

The nuclear deal with Iran crafted by President Obama and John Kerry has reaped big dividends in the first Iranian election to be held after sanctions were lifted. Reformist President Hassan Rouhani’s allies—moderates and reformers—won all of Tehran’s 30 seats in Parliament, then went on to win 42% of the total seats in April. The...

Masters of Disaster: GOP Governors

In 2010 Republican Sam Brownback rode a Tea Party wave into the Kansas governor’s mansion, announcing, “My focus is to create a red-state model that allows the Republican ticket to say, ‘See, we’ve got a different way, and it works.’” With Republicans dominating the legislature, Brownback passed massive tax breaks for the wealthy, eliminated all...

Democrats Must Move Wisely

Donald Trump has insulted and alienated so many Americans—women, Hispanics, Muslims, immigrants and even a large faction of his own party—that it’s possible Democrats will control the entire federal government, with Hillary Clinton in the White House and majorities in both the House and Senate. That happened for the first two years of the Obama...

Hillary vs. the Dummy: Democrats Must Unite

I know it’s been said before, probably ever since John Adams won the Presidency, but this really is one of the most crucial elections in American politics. It has also become the most volatile election in our history, with two of the most unpopular candidates ever. A whole faction of Republicans vow that they will...

The Race to Armageddon

The mainstream media has given little attention to what could be the single largest, most dangerous government expenditure ever: a staggering $1 trillion to upgrade our nuclear arsenal over the next 30 years, with new nuclear bombers, warheads, missiles, subs, labs and production plants. Last June the Strategic Deterrent Coalition held a symposium in Albuquerque,...

The “Wicked” Clinton Foundation

Donald Trump and the whole right-wing echo chamber have made a huge fuss over the operation of the Clinton Foundation during the time Hillary was Secretary of State. Yes, some of the Foundation’s donors, including representatives of foreign nations, major corporations and other entities, did also meet with Secretary Clinton to discuss matters of state....

Resist!

Trump’s conservative counterrevolution is in deep trouble. In March the GOP bill to repeal and replace Obamacare— one of his top campaign promises—went down in flames. For that we can thank the tens of thousands of angry citizens who stormed town hall meetings across the country, all but tar-and-feathering Republican congressmen who supported Trump’s agenda....

Election Postmortem

Donald Trump has been declared the 45th President of the United States, with a solid Republican majority in both the House and Senate—a total, shocking disaster for Democrats. No one expected a rout like this. After all the weeping is over, we must learn lessons from this defeat, with an eye to the future. It’s...

Can Democrats Work With Trump?

The day after Trump’s stunning upset victory, Michael Moore wrote this warning: “Any Democratic member of Congress who didn’t wake up this morning ready to fight, resist and obstruct in the way Republicans did against President Obama every day for eight full years must step out of the way and let those of us who...

Democrats In Decline?

One year ago Democrats were looking forward with unbridled optimism. America had diversified ethnically, the party’s base had expanded, and it looked like a golden future for progressives. These demographic trends were going to ensure a permanent Democratic majority. But now this has proven as illusory as Karl Rove’s “permanent Republican majority” in the Bush...

The Foreign Policy Amateur Hour

Many antiwar activists welcomed the Presidency of Donald Trump, since he promised to reverse the neocon interventionist policies of the last four administrations. He agrees with the general consensus among sane people that the Iraq war was a colossal mistake, but lied about his opposition to launching it. He has made complaints about the burdensome...

Wake Up, Media!

Americans’ trust of the mainstream media has hit rock bottom after the election of Donald Trump, and deservedly so. All of the major networks pumped up Trump in the primaries, giving him three times the coverage of any other Republican candidate and twice as much coverage as Hillary and Bernie combined. Trump was allowed to...

Trump Stuffs His Own Pockets

America has one of the largest wealth-inequality gaps in the world, and it’s about to grow even larger under Trump’s proposed tax plan. The king of the loopholes wants to slash the corporate tax rate from 35% to 15% and apply that rate to “pass-throughs,” guaranteeing that his nearly 500 businesses would benefit—to the tune...

The GOP Just Sold Your Porn History

In March Senate Republicans voted to repeal the Federal Communications Commission rules protecting the privacy of your online activity. The House followed suit, and Trump signed off on the stinker in April. Now the telecoms that provide your basic service can sell the records of what you do online to anyone or any company for...

Neuter the Narcissist

As Donald Trump proves daily what an incompetent, self-serving buffoon he is, the mainstream media (MSM) has joined him in lockstep—like a bad comedy duo. The MSM journalists think they have all the answers, but they need to take a long, hard look in the mirror and realize how they’ve enabled the rise and triumph...

No Is Not Enough!

If Democrats want to defeat the Republican cabal now in power, they need to be more than the Party of No. It’s not enough to simply bash Trump, who won mainly because he promised to help Main Street over Wall Street. Yes, Democrats need to draw attention to Trump’s repeated broken promises—everything he’s done since...

Fight the Real Drug Epidemic!

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is waging federal war on states that have legalized marijuana for recreational consumption. Meanwhile, Trump has declared the opioid crisis to be a national emergency. What’s wrong with this picture? A study funded by the National Institutes of Health shows that legalized medicinal pot actually reduced opioid overdose deaths. Marijuana has...

Trump’s Chainsaw Massacre

Donald Trump came into office spouting the usual Republican mantra that government is the source of all of our problems. “If there’s a new regulation, they have to knock out two,” he said. So he’s taken a chainsaw to more than 860 federal regulations since he’s been in office, ground all that paper to pulp...

Trump vs. the Free Press

If there is one single thing that defines the American tradition and the success of our nation, it has to be the First Amendment, with its guarantee of free speech and freedom of the press. Thomas Jefferson expressed it best: “And were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without...

Trump’s Tax-Cut Smoke and Mirrors

Trump and the Republicans are once again proposing massive new tax cuts to solve the nation’s many problems. They cite Reagan’s big tax cuts in 1986 as a model for spurring economic growth, but there’s a problem with that rationale: You see, the decade before Reagan’s tax cuts actually saw higher growth than the decade...

Sexual Awakening

HUSTLER Magazine started in 1974, when the sexual revolution was in full swing.

Trump the Racist

Being a racist may not necessarily be an impeachable offense, but it should be. We’ve known that Trump is a racist from Day One, but it just seems to be getting worse. The evidence dates way back to 1973, when the Justice Department sued Trump Management, Trump and his father Fred for discrimination against Afro-Americans...

Healthcare “Conscience” Office Is Unconscionable

With multiple reports of harassment against women and an alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, while married to Melania, Donald Trump is hardly a religious man. But that doesn’t stop him from pandering to his loyal holy-roller base. The latest gift is the newly formed Conscience and Religious Freedom Division in the Department of...

America Is Sick

This past flu season was one of the worst in decades, with thousands bedridden and a high number of fatalities.

Although the flu...

Today’s Activists Are Tomorrow’s Voters

Students in America keep getting slaughtered, and they’ve finally had enough, taking to the streets. In March tens of thousands of middle school and high school students nationwide walked out of their classes to protest the stubborn lack of gun reform by their supposedly wiser elders. Then later that same month, in Washington, D.C., and...

Trump’s Judicial Buffoons

Someday, hopefully sooner than later, we will be spared the tragicomedy of Donald Trump in the White House. But the gross stupidity and ignorance of his administration will live on for decades and even lifetimes through his judicial appointments, a cast of unworthy buffoons and right-wing ideologues. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has bragged...

A Hemp Revival Is on the Horizon

This may sound like a joke, but top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell is pushing for the federal legalization of hemp. He was enlightened by his farmer constituents in Kentucky. Hurt by the downturn in the tobacco market, they see salvation in hemp, a crop already legalized in several states and Canada. No wonder. Industrial hemp...

Walk the Walk in November

It’s become a cliché that the election on the horizon is always “the most important of our lifetime.” But this time it’s no exaggeration. With Trump eager to appoint yet another conservative Justice to the Supreme Court, the only possible block to his regressive policies is Democratic control of the House and/or Senate. It is...

High Time for Public Banks

There’s one thing the pirates on Wall Street fear above all else: public banking.

Trump’s Obama Vendetta

On the campaign trail, Trump promised to reverse all of Obama’s “unconstitutional” executive orders. The right-wing labeled them abuses of power, but the truth is that Obama issued fewer average executive orders annually (35) than any President since Grover Cleveland in the late 1800s. (FDR holds the record at 307 per year, with Herbert Hoover...
