    You Can’t Stop Fentanyl

    Columnists Froma Harrop - 0

    Fentanyl has killed more Americans than the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined. And lined up behind it are still more vicious street drugs. The Justice Department can indict Chinese companies producing fentanyl and the precursor chemicals used to make it. The Biden administration can pressure Mexico to come down harder on drug trafficking. […]

    The Contemptible Thievery Of Gentrification

    Columnists Jim Hightower - 0

    Over time, words with beautiful meanings occasionally get degraded into ugliness. “Gentle,” for example. Originally meaning good-natured and kindly, it was twisted into “gentry” in the Middle Ages by very un-gentle land barons seeking a patina of refinement. Then it became a pretentious verb – to “gentrify” – meaning to make something common appear upscale. […]

    We Need Two Parties To Fix The Border. We Now Have Only One

    Columnists Froma Harrop - 0

    We have a crisis at the border that requires a functional U.S. Congress, and we don’t have one. President Joe Biden can only do what he can, and only of late has he sounded resolute. The “Republican-controlled” House of Representatives has no one in control. It is leaderless, and the possibility that the election-denier Jim […]

    Let’s Send Hearing Aids To All Rightwing Officials

    Columnists Jim Hightower - 0

    Here’s my suggestion for stopping the ultra-right-wing loopiness coming out of the mouths of Republican officials: hearing aids. I’m convinced that the wacko blatherings of Rep. Matt Gaetz, the ravings of the Q-Anon cult, former President Donald Trump’s tantrums and so many others are the result of a tragic neurological disconnect. This affliction lets their […]
