Is there Too Much Democracy in the Middle East?
In the Washington Post last week, historian of the US Yoav Fromer of Tel Aviv University published an article about how the problem with the Middle East is too much democracy and not too little. Fromer seems to take at face value George W. Bush’s policy of “democratization.” That was a slogan to cover the […]

By Eric Oliver, Alastair Hobdale, Dan Smale, Neil Holbrook, and Thomas Wernberg | – On land, heatwaves can be deadly for humans and wildlife and can devastate crops and forests.

In the era of Donald Trump, it would seem that these two conditions are no longer being met. Berkeley, […]

Co-author: Frances Crowe. Greenfield, MA (Informed Comment) – Fifty-five years ago on June 10, President John F. Kennedy delivered a commencement address at American University that, in fewer than 30 minutes, turned traditional national security policy on its head.

Trump’s Roast of Muslims at his White House Iftar Dinner
Satire Mr. Trump: “Well, it is just great to see you all here. Actually, I’m surprised there are this many of you at my dinner. I thought I’d done a better job of keeping you out of the country! But I can’t blame you for getting past me. I mean, you’re from those shithole countries, […]
Sue! Trump Has all Three Branches of Gov’t & Only Activist Lawsuits Can Stop Him
Washington, D.C. (Otherwords.org) – Shortly after Donald Trump was awarded the presidency by our perverted and antiquated electoral system, I got desperate calls from some normally non-political family members and friends.
