    Gratitude And Grace, Even Now

    Columnists Joe Conason - 0

    In the throes of a global pandemic that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and will kill many more, it may be difficult to summon gratitude this Thanksgiving season. Our sorrow and frustration are only intensified by a government that seems indifferent to the suffering and exacerbates suspicion and ill will at every opportunity. […]

    The Dow Jones vs. The Doug Jones

    Columnists Jim Hightower - 0

    Wow, how about that Dow? The Dow Jones Industrial Average, I mean, Wall Street’s up-to-the-minute report on whether corporate stock prices are going up, down or sideways. It’s the one economic indicator that our nation’s media and political establishment watch religiously, claiming it tells them how our national economy is performing. Recently, the stock market […]

Nearly every would-be presidential candidate in the GOP immediately sought to wrap the loud-mouthed celebrity’s gaffe around his neck. […]

    Where Did The Republican Party Go?

    Columnists Jim Hightower - 0

    Wow, what a surprise! Have you seen the Republican Party’s official platform? Perhaps, like me, you would have expected it to be a mishmash of Trumpian miasma, laissezfairyland corporate economics, QAnon lunacy, police state authoritarianism and all the other wackiness that today’s GOP has been embracing. But, no. Astonishingly, this 18-page policy statement flat-out rejects […]
