Trump knows that if MAGA believes Harris-Walz crowds are “fake,” they will believe Trump’s 2024 loss is also fake. It’s important for national security experts to know that a cornered, frightened, and criminally convicted rat will stop at nothing to save itself.
The outpouring of enthusiasm for Kamala Harris and America’s dad Tim Walz suggests voters have grown tired of negativity. As VP, Harris faced repeated criticism over her laugh, spun as unserious and intellectually weak. But now that she is in command, her intellect has become irrefutable, allowing her to embrace her laughter and smile often at the podium.
Just as parts of the world are becoming uninhabitable and nearly half the U.S. is under an extreme heat advisory, extremists on the Supreme Court have decided they know more about climate change than scientists and meteorologists.
Federalist judges claim to loathe judicial activism. But to find criminal immunity for Trump, the Court’s federalist majority bucked all traditional and originalist leanings, and announced instead that the court would be “writing a rule for the ages,” and dealt an astonishing blow to the U.S. Constitution.
Let’s set the record straight on the situation at Valparaiso University and President Jose Padilla’s efforts to sell the three most valuable works in the collection to renovate residence halls for first students. This effort, if successful, will violate a trust that the University has honored for over 70 years. Successful or not, it has sullied the reputation of a museum I and many others have devoted ourselves to building into something excellent and beautiful that truly honors Percy Sloan’s gift to us — that is, to Valparaiso University and to Northwest Indiana. To suggest otherwise is false.
Last week, Republicans on the Supreme Court decided that bribing an elected official isn’t bribery if you wait a few days and call it a gratuity instead.
I am appalled that Valparaiso University in its petition discredits the achievement of Richard Brauer and impugns his integrity, whose life work resulted in the creation of Northwest Indiana’s most outstanding collection of American art.
Donald Trump’s felony convictions are fueling another disinformation campaign, this one equal in destructive force to his Big Lie. Orchestrating a unified response reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s, House Speaker Mike Johnson and his Trump acolytes are weaving Trump’s criminality into a false indictment of the American legal system. Republicans are blaming President Joe Biden for outcomes over which a sitting U.S. president has no control: convictions pursued by an independently elected District Attorney, pursuant to a state criminal code, as determined by 12 independent jurors, who were selected with the help of Trump’s own trial team. The GOP’s […]
The Darwin Awards famously commemorate idiots who protect our gene pool by dying in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species’ chances of long-term survival. We need a different award when the most ignorant members of a species doom the rest of it.
As soon as fossil-fuel financed Donald Trump was sworn into office, he got busy destroying the nation’s climate progress. In June of 2017, Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Treaty, shamefully walking away from a global commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the only signatory country in the world to do so. Among Trump’s early steps to halt climate progress, Scott Pruitt, his Environmental Protection Agency director, scrubbed climate science information off the U.S. agency’s website. Pruitt, who resigned under an unethical cloud of scandal the following year, erased scientific explanations about the changing climate from […]
