Donald Trump isn't the only presidential candidate with credibility problems. The State Department's inspector general delivered his report on Hillary Clinton's emails Wednesday — and it wasn't good news for the presumptive Democratic candidate.

Cartoons: JURY BY JELLO
Jury by Jello by Clay Jones They say a president’s legacy are his appointments to the Supreme Court. I believe that. George H. W. Bush has a shameful legacy with his placement of Clarence Thomas to the highest court in the land. Thomas replaced a Civil Rights pioneer so it’s ironic he was the lone dissenter in a case regarding racial bias regarding jury placements. … [Read more...] about Cartoons: JURY BY JELLO

Whiteness Nothing To Apologize For
Lately, I have observed a lament being made by some non-white Americans about the whiteness of white Americans. Their lament goes like this: “Your whiteness gives you privileges that non-whites do not have, and you should apologize for it.” The first half of that lament is reasonable. Historically, whiteness has enabled white Americans to gain things more easily than they … [Read more...] about Whiteness Nothing To Apologize For

Trumpism: Made in Europe
WASHINGTON -- Here's the irony of Donald Trump's "America First," immigrant-bashing, free-trade-averse, make-us-great-again nationalism: It is a European import.

On this day … a commitment to science, technology and space
And humanity. On this day, 55 years ago, President John F. Kennedy challenged Congress and Americans to think big, to look beyond the stirrings of conflict in the developing world, to "turn recession into recovery", and to turn our eyes to the stars.

And the recovery he led -- a testament to Keynesian economics -- was … [Read more...] about On this day … a commitment to science, technology and space
