Warning: This newsletter contains some frank, brutal, ugly, nauseating language and uncommonly damning information about Donald Trump. If you are squeamish you may not want to read it, but I hope you will. We all need to be aware of it. A few days ago, the Department of Justice released…

How to Stop the Horrors of ICE
It seems impossible that the president of the United States ordered the murders of at least 130 helpless Venezuelans in the last few weeks and nobody is even talking about it anymore. And yes, it was murder. Even if the victims were transporting drugs, and no evidence has been presented…
Old Folks are Fired Up!
Sue and I believe it is imperative on each of us to turn out and speak up if we are to save our democracy, so we attend organized protests whenever we can. We have attended rallies in our hometown of Charleston, S.C., but also in Columbia and Beaufort. And all…
Stop Trump.
Good God, Congress, stop this man! Impeach him now! Don’t wait until November’s midterms. Do it now! Donald Trump is out of control. Not only has his military killed more than 100 people because he believes they were carrying drugs, but now he’s turned his guns on his own people…

For nearly four years, Daniel Dale’s job with CNN was to fact-check whatever Donald Trump said. “The job was unrelenting,” he would write later. “The job was unrelentingly weird. Lots of politicians lie as a means to an end – to wiggle out of a scandal or to inflate their…

The Epstein Files Are Not the Whole Story
When we think of the Epstein files, we think of grown men, perhaps including Donald Trump and other leading American men, seducing underage girls – children. And that by itself is a horror. But that’s not the whole story here. I was reminded of that recently when I re-read an…
Legalize Drugs!
Alcohol misuse was causing so much pain across the nation in 1919 — alcoholism, domestic violence, saloon-based political corruption — that Congress decided to amend the Constitution to prohibit its manufacture, transportation and sale. So it wrote the Constitution’s 18th Amendment, 46 of the 48 states approved, and on Oct.…
