Ralph Nader is still a pariah. He deserves to be. – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi’s description of a seedy bar in Star Wars, I often ask myself how and why America has become such a “wretched hive of scum and villainy.” What or who caused this to happen? Certainly the 77 million voters who re-hired a fascist grifter deserve some of the blame. I’d also pin some on Newt Gingrich, the right-wing hyper-partisan who propelled the Republicans to congressional power in 1994 and taught followers to smear the opposition party as inherently evil. Two years later
Are voters stupid enough to fall for Trump’s latest con? – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sinclair Lewis deserves a prize for prescience. Ninety years ago, the author of “It Can’t Happen Here” created a presidential candidate named Buzz Windrip who rose to power with an openly demagogic agenda. Buzz believed nonstop lying was the best way to connect with voters (“it is not fair to ordinary folks – it just confuses them – to try to make them swallow all the true facts”). He played them for suckers, and won. He told them “lowdown crooks, liars, and schemers” were trying to rig the elec
Senate slacker John Fetterman needs to pack up his hoodies – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Fetterman is acid reflux surging through our body politic. Surely there must be a cure. But good luck with that. Hounding him until he quits is theoretically possible, but why would he want to give up the perks of doing nothing on the taxpayer’s dime? Throwing him out in a statewide voter recall would be ideal, but the U.S. Constitution forbids it. That leaves one option – jettisoning his worthless ass in a Senate Democratic primary – but that’s two years away and even then he’d still be ar
A stupid war could once again trigger a blue electoral tsunami – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Republican President George W. Bush’s stupid war in Iraq (launched on false premises and bogus promises) triggered a blue tsunami in the 2006 midterms and resulted in Democratic takeovers of the House and Senate. Today, Republican President Donald Trump’s stupid war in Iran (launched with inept planning and bogus promises) could help trigger a blue tsunami in the 2026 midterms, resulting in Democratic takeovers of the House and Senate. History doesn’t repeat itself, but on occasion it rhymes. Th
Trump just lost his last shred of credibility as a war leader – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, knew a few things about war – certainly more than a five-deferment draft evader and a faux macho Fox News drunk seem to know. One of Ike’s axioms was: “Battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because of logistics.” We can pair that with a truism commonly known as the 7 P’s: “Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.” But the Sultan of Stupid, who has in
