“If our society really wanted to solve the problem, we could; it’s just that it would require everybody saying, ‘this is important; this is significant.’ And, that we don’t just pay attention to these communities when a CVS burns, and we don’t just pay attention when a young man gets shot or has his spine snapped, but we’re paying attention all the time because we consider those kids our kids.” —President Obama on the situation in Baltimore That's what our President said and I commend him for speaking out quickly on an issue that will only result in more and more out-of-desperation riots. [WOR radio dimwits (not you, G.N., for you do the best you can to present orators on behalf of the people although you too couldn't help yourself with this one) are quick to try and latch onto the so-called witness that is saying that Mr. Gray tried to injure himself as if that's all the excuse necessary to move on. But let us remember that bastard woman who was allowed to be a prime w...

Is when Slager the Slayer is told that his yet unborn kid is not his and that his wife's ex shot off one last load at his (Slager's) expense. Otherwise, it could only come as an appeasement to the people who might view it as the straw that broke the camel's back. There is a danger, however, in police procedures that are tailored for police perpetrators thanks to powerful public unions, specifically, the fact that a police officer can get "2 or 3" days to conspire over the merits of his story while the rest of us get grilled from the get go. This happened with P.O. Darren Wilson and we all saw how he was able to concoct a story that only Grand Jury members anxious to get back to their miserable existences can love. I'll bet you that the fuckers in the PBA have their consultants in such cases--the shysters who provide all the right angles for a killer cop's defense and the forensics experts who will bend the rules of physics to present to the lumpish juri...

[This is an article published April 11, 2015, NationofChange; Op-Ed penned by Robert Reich. My comments in red. Btw, I love to keep a good man honest.] At a time when average working people need a president who will fight for them, the question is whether Hillary Clinton is willing to be bold and to fight. This is a defining moment for Democrats, America and Clinton, herself. Barack Obama was a defining moment too. In my book he's running 40/60 good/bad. Even O-care would have been infinitely more effective as single-payer. So much for defining moments. It’s a paradox. Yeah, in a Zeno kind of way, and Hillary is going to bring me half the way there. Almost all the economic gains are still going to the top, leaving America’s vast middle class with stagnant wages and little or no job security. Two-thirds of Americans are working paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, big money is taking over our democracy. If there were ever a time for a b...

This link shows the senator on the defensive. Oddly, though, he only gets vocal after the indictment. Prior to today, I only knew of judicial problems with regard to that Dominican Republic trip. But so what, no one can blame him for not stirring up muddy waters--still waters are not just the domain of psychopaths. Tomorrow, I'll be joining actionnetwork.org as they demonstrate--in lower Manhattan--for keeping money out of politics. The streets should inadvertently get clogged with people if we were all doing our civic duty, bow. That's not going to happen because most of us are looking the other way--the Scalia way. By that, I mean Citizens United has been allowed to keep up its corruption of government and its disenfranchisement of the little people. Those of us who live at the delta of life's congruences, struggling with the rivers and tides of fortune while a whole sea of possibilities lie waiting ahead of us, will certainly continue to hob up and down while the Jus...
