American voters are trapped in a rematch nobody wants, between former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden. Driving the rematch are a number of factors, one of which is ego: both of them think that they are indispensable.
Muslim Ban: Choose One
•
The swing state of Michigan will be in play next year, and many analysts predict that the Muslim diaspora in that state could prove pivotal. But which major candidate can they vote for? Donald Trump wears his Islamophobia on his sleeve with his repeated calls to limit Muslims from traveling to the US, as well as his loudly-declared support for Israel. Joe Biden, however, looks even worse as he declares “I am a Zionist” even after Israel wantonly slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza while barely giving Hamas a scratch. Choose your poison!
Be Careful What You Mitch for
•
Polls indicate that Democrats are about to suffer a shellacking in the 2022 midterm elections. Voters are unhappy about inflation, supply chain problems and other issues, but Republicans should be careful what they want — once they are in charge of Congress, they will catch much of the blame for the issues that allowed them to win in the first place.
The Good News about the Ecological Disaster
•
An all-time record 120°F high temperature was set for all of Europe in Sicily. July is the hottest month on record in the United States. No one can argue that climate change isn’t accelerating rapidly.

So Trump Really Is a Great Businessman
•
The New York Times has obtained years of Donald Trump’s tax returns. As suspected, the president has avoided paying taxes to a dramatic extent, declared many millions of dollars in losses and appears to have created a fortune based on BS. In other words, he is a great businessman.
Sorry but It Really Is Too Late to Save the World
•
Even if humanity slams on the brakes, stopped emitting carbon dioxide and goes back to horses and buggies, global warming will continue for at least a few more decades. So although Donald Trump and his rolling back of air pollution emissions standards are annoying, it’s probably too late anyway.
The Boom-Bust Cycle of Capitalism
•
With salaries representing the biggest expense for employers, it’s not paranoid to suggest that, as soon as workers begin to gain advantage in a tight labor market, bosses are ready to tank the economy to keep workers’ wages in check.
Jeffrey Epstein Shows That Conspiracies Just Aren’t What They Used To Be
•
Whether you believe them in or not, government conspiracy theories involving fiendishly diabolical plots by brilliant evildoers just aren’t what they used to be. Consider, for example, the convenient death of Jeffrey Epstein. It was almost like they weren’t even trying.
