The Coup Against American Normalcy and Competence is Well Under Way
We have all been watching Trump’s disruptive political urges and his crazed socio-cultural ideas for over a decade now (starting with his campaign of denying President Obama’s birthright citizenship). It should be very clear that while Trump sells a false … Continue reading

I am not a historian who gives a lot of complimentary adjectives for the accomplishments of the 20th Century, I am not a big fan of “10 Best Lists” or “Greatest This-Or-That.” The standard political-scientific-entertainment figures of the American/European 20th … Continue reading
