On Corruption – America’s Choice
John B. Alexander, Contributing writer - Daily Kos
Stephan: I think John Alexander gives an accurate assessment of what is going on in the United States, and I will say again the only thing that is going to stop this is millions of Americans out in the streets in nonviolent demonstrations every day. Are you willing to make this commitment?

Tom Homan is costing American taxpayers $1 million a month: reporter
Sarah K. Burris, Senior Digital Editor - Raw Story
_Stephan: Did you know that you and I are spending one million dollars a month protecting the thug Tom Homan, whom aspiring dictator Trump has appointed “Border Czar”? No, neither did I, but we are. As I read this report, all I could think about was how many children would get school lunches for $1,000,000 a month if Trump and the MAGAt … ⌘ Read more

Russia Has Started Losing the War in Ukraine
Michael Kimmage, Director of the Kennan Institute at the Wilson Center - Foreign Policy
_Stephan: Media in the United States has not been covering the Ukraine war in its geopolitical consequence anywhere deeply enough. Partly this is because Trump has for years been completely in the pocket of Putin, and has tried to skew media in Russia’s favor. However, it is becoming hard for Trump to sustain it because Putin so blatantly disreg … ⌘ Read more

10 Things That Will Make You Rethink Everything Normal
We like to think we’ve got a grip on reality. That the world mostly makes sense, and the things we were taught in school are—more or less—true. But scratch just beneath the surface, and things get ‘weird’ fast. This isn’t your average trivia list. These are the cracks in the matrix, the “wait, what?” facts […]

10 Times the Christian Church Took on the Animal Kingdom
