Trump Appointment Of Stephen Miller As White House Chief Of Staff Is A Declaration Of War On Democrats And Congress!

Ronald 4 Comments

The shocking news yesterday afternoon that President Donald Trump, after the massive repudiation of voters toward him and the Republican Party, in the Midterm Elections of 2026, has appointed the hateful, despicable, highly dangerous Stephen Miller as the next White House Chief of Staff, is already reverberating through the nation.

Miller is one of the most powerful and important Trump supporters responsible for the immigration policy, the anti NATO policy, the invasion of Venezuela, and so many other controversial policies.

Miller has a “take no prisoners” policy toward the News Media, and is clearly, similar to Hermann Goring, the closest ally of Adolf Hitler, in Nazi Germany, having great responsibility for the Holocaust against 13 million people, including 6 million Jews.

Trump sees Miller as his closest, most trusted adviser, and the two men share their nativism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, and Hispanic-Latino phobia, with Miller leading the effort against basic human rights and abuse, represented by ICE and US Border Patrol.

It is shocking that Miller is Jewish, and his own heritage is that some members of his family were victims of the Holocaust, while others escaped to the United States as immigrants.

Clearly, there will be major fireworks and confrontations over the next two years, while Miller himself will be investigated for his criminal behavior over his years of association with Donald Trump.

Election Results Mandate Accountability For The Horrors Of The Trump Presidency!

Ronald Leave a comment

Now that the Democrats have won massive margins in both houses of Congress, as soon as 2027 begins, it is time for the 120th Congress (2027-2029) to mandate accountablity for the horrors and abuses of the second Trump Presidency.

There is a dire need for the resignation, dismissal, or impeachment of several Trump Cabinet Officers and other important officials.

The impeachment of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is being promoted by outgoing Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and a vote is scheduled for next week.

But whether Hegseth is impeached or not, the likelihood of removal is slight, due to the two thirds vote needed in the Senate to remove from office.

Whether Hegseth resigns or is dismissed, he still needs to be criminally prosecuted for his horrid abuses of power.

The same situation applies for the following individuals in the following order:

FBI Director Kash Patel
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller
Attorney General Todd Blanche
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi
Former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem
Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard
Director of Office of Management and Budget Russell Vought
White House Border Czar (ICE) Thomas Homan
Chair Federal Communications Committee Brendan Carr
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
Education Secretary Linda McMahon

Democrats Have Major Advantages In Upcoming Presidential Election Of 2028!

Ronald 51 Comments

As a result of the “Blue Tsunami” that occurred on Election Day 2026, the Democratic Party has major advantages in the upcoming Presidential Electlon of 2028.

We start off with the 19 states and DC won by Kamala Harris in 2024, a total of 226 electoral votes. These states in New England, the Northeast, the Midwest, the Southwest, and the Pacific Coast and Hawaii, are certain to remain Democratic, as they are the stronghold of the Democratic Party in many past elections. One electoral vote in Maine, which allows division of their electoral votes, was lost in 2024, but the total as it was that year was 226 electoral votes.

Then, a large group of states (11) that were Republican in 2024, have switched massively to the Democrats.

Texas is the big “catch”, having moved away dramatically from Republicans, and electing Democrats to all state executive positions including the Governorship, along with a Democratic Senator and a number of Democratic House members being elected to the Congress.

So the odds are that if Texas follows the trend they are now on, their 40 electoral votes would add to the 226 from 2024, making the total 266, just four electoral votes from winning the Presidency, with or without the majority of the popular vote.

Add just one of the states who switched from Republican to Democrat outside of Texas, and it would be enough to gain 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win, meaning a total of 21 states, because of Texas being added to the Democratic states.

This includes the following ten additional states:

Pennsylvania 19 electoral votes
Ohio 17 electoral votes
North Carolina 16 electoral votes
Georgia 16 electoral votes
Michigan 15 electoral votes
Arizona 11 electoral votes
Wisconsin 10 electoral votes
Nevada 6 electoral votes
Iowa 6 electoral votes
Kansas 6 electoral votes

These ten states all elected Democrats for Governor, with Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, Iowa, and Kansas, all switching from Republican state control as a result of the midterm election.

If Texas goes Democratic with its 40 electoral votes, then at the least, either Iowa, Kansas, or Nevada, all with 6 electoral votes, would be enough to reach the magic number of 270 electoral votes.

If Texas goes back to the Republicans, only a minimum of 44 electoral votes need to be won by the Democrats, which means if Pennsylvania (19), Ohio (17), and North Carolina or Georgia (both 16) went to the Democrats, that would be enough to gain 270 electoral votes, and the Presidency.

And the other six states listed, if they combined, they would reach exactly the number of 54, 10 more than needed, so one could leave out Wisconsin in theory, to win 270 electoral votes.

If all 10 states above AND Texas went to the Democrats in 2028, which is certainly possible, the grand total of the electoral vote, with a total of 30 states and DC, would be 388 electoral votes, with Republicans winning 20 states and 150 electoral votes.

So at this time, two years ahead of the Presidential Election of 2028, one could conclude that the Democrats have a 90 percent chance of electing the next President of the United States.

Proud Of My “Progressive” Views Even More After A Magnificent Victory By Democrats, Restoring American Democracy!

Ronald 31 Comments

The morning after “the morning after” massive Democratic Party victories in both the US House Of Representatives and the US Senate, the State Governorships, and also state legislative and executive positions, this author and blogger is still absorbing the glory of what has happened.

I will be writing over the next days and weeks, in detail, about the magnificence of the political changes coming to America.

But today, I wish to reassert my pride and convictions, which I have held my entire life, influenced by my parents, relatives, and friends who have promoted, as I do, belief in tolerance, compassion, decency, morality, ethics, empathy, and conscience.

I taught for 53 years in college and university classrooms, and have given hundreds of lectures to adults and senior citizens, enunciating my views to audiences that have mostly shared my passionate defense of American Democracy and the Rule of Law.

I have had a conscience that has always affected my relationships with others, and I have never believed in discrimination against any group—whether gay, lesbian, or transgender; African Americans; Hispanic-Latino Americans; Asian Americans, whether East or South Asian; Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist Americans; along with Christians (Catholic or Protestant); Jewish Americans; and Women, who are more than half of the American population.

So just as my blog calls me a “Progressive Professor”, I am also proud to call myself a “Liberal”, and despite massive criticism by opponents, I also am proud to be “Woke”, concerned about the lives and hopes of all kinds of Americans.

I oppose vehemently, those who promote hatred, discrimination, prejudice, bias; and specifically racism, misogyny, antiSemitism, Islamophobia, and mistreatment of gay and transgender Americans.

I will continue, as long as I can, to enunciate these views, as I have done for the past 18 years, and in a few days, will have reached a total of 9,000 entries.

American Democracy Survives: A Political Earthquake, A Blue Tsunami Across America!

Ronald 26 Comments

American Democracy survives, as America has a political earthquake and a Blue Tsunami, fulfilling this author and blogger’s bold prediction, that this would occur.

The Donald Trump era is in rapid decline, and all of the hysteria, the lies, and the horrendous nastiness of the Republican Party, was totally repudiated.

The Democrats now have the advantage and the opportunity to change the course of the Trump era, and will have a great advantage in the upcoming Presidential Election of 2028.

And Vice President JD Vance has destroyed his future, with his horrendous, disgraceful statements on a multitude of issues, making him highly unlikely to be the Republican nominee in 2028.

Of course, if Donald Trump leaves office before the end of the term, by whatever means, JD Vance would be President, but would have zero chance to be elected to a full term.

Over the coming days, this author and blogger will analyze in detail the amazing results of this pathbreaking election, certainly the most significant since the massive Republican takeover in 1994, after two years of the Bill Clinton Presidency.

One Final Pre Election Thought On Two US Senate Elections

Ronald 7 Comments

As voters nationally are voting, with election results starting to be reported in a few hours, this is a final Pre Election Thought.

With the likely result in Texas being the election of Democratic nominee James Talarico over Republican nominee Ken Paxton in the US Senate race, if that happens, it will be clear that the Republicans ran the wrong candidate, Paxton, who was backed by Donald Trump in the primary,over sitting Senator John Cornyn. It seems highly likely that Cornyn could have retained his seat, and James Talarico would have lost the election.

With the likely result in South Carolina being the election of Democratic nominee Dr. Annie Andrews over Republican nominee Senator Darline Graham in the US Senate race, if that happens, it will be clear that the Republicans and Donald Trump supported the wrong candidate in the primary. If Congressman Ralph Norman had been the nominee, it is highly likely that Norman would have won the Senate seat, and Dr. Annie Andrews would have lost the election.

At this moment, it looks highly likely both James Talarico in Texas, and Dr. Annie Andrews in South Carolina, will enter the Senate for the 120th Congress (2027-2029).

Both states have, for many decades have been strongly Republican, but that now seems likely to end, partially due to the poor choice of who the Republican nominees should have been.

Election Day Has Arrived: Hopefully, An Occasion Of Holding Donald Trump And The MAGA Republican Party Fully Accountable For Horrendous Policies!

Ronald 22 Comments

Finally, we have reached Election Day 2026, the Midterm State and Congressional Elections.

All decent people will be on tenterhooks today, as we await the election results, which will have a massive effect on the future of American domestic and foreign policy.

This should be, and likely will be, a turning point toward a better future.

If it turns out that Republicans do better than every indication otherwise, America will have reached a danger point, as the nation and its people will be facing a crisis atmosphere.

So the main point today is that everyone should vote, and watch this evening, and the next few days, for the news reports on the results of the elections, and the implications they have for all of us.

If Democrats Win Midterms, Their Plans Moving Forward!

Ronald 13 Comments

Democrats in Congress have a broad plan of their agenda and actions, if they take control of Congress in the Midterm Elections of 2026.

Among their plans:

Address the “Affordability” Crisis–fuel, gasoline, and more

Combat the corruption of the Trump Administration, including, unlikely, the pursuit of impeachment of Trump, and many of his Cabinet members

Restoring Health Care Subsidies and Medicaid Resources

Restore the Affordable Care Act Health Care Premium Subsidies

Moving to end the Iran War and Donald Trump’s protective tariffs

Pass a serious ban on lawmakers’ trading stocks

Investigate the corrupt use of Presidential Pardons by Donald Trump

Take action to make ICE more accountable

Legislation to raise the minimum wage

Figure out a way to regulate artificial intelligence

Use spending bills to try to force policy changes, which could result in a government shutdown crisis

Focus on Child Care and Elder Care legislation

Attempt to promote Medicare For All

Tax Increases on Wealthy Americans, reversing the massive tax cuts for the elite

It is clear that the Democrats will have to be aggressive in pursuit of accomplishing many of their goals, as we move toward the Presidential Election of 2028, with the announcement of Presidential candidacies likely to start shortly after the full results of the Midterm Elections are accomplished,

Blue “Tsunami” Is Likely For Senate Races On November 3!

Ronald 32 Comments

It seems to this blogger and author that we are on the cusp of a Blue “Tsunami”, which will dramatically change both houses of Congress.

The Senate, presently 45 Democrats and Two Independents (Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Angus King of Maine), and 53 Republicans, are highly likely to see a massive switch of seats.

I believe there will be a switch of ELEVEN Republican seats to the Democrats, including one new “Independent”, making the Senate 55 Democrats and 3 Independents, with Dan Osborn of Nebraska being the new “Independent”, as against the Republicans, who would have 42 seats.

Here are my predictions, and even if somewhat wrong, definitely, a Democratic majority seems certain.

First, Georgia with Jon Ossoff will win big, and the new Democratic candidates in Michigan (Abdul El-Sayed); Minnesota (Peggy Flanagan); and New Hampshire (Chris Pappas) will keep those seats Democratic.

But beyond that, 11 seats will change, 10 Democrats and 1 Independent who will align with the Democrats:

Maine–Troy Jackson
North Carolina–Roy Cooper
South Carolina–Dr Annie Andrews
Florida–Angie Nixon
Mississippi–Scott Colum
Texas–James Talarico
Ohio–Sherrod Brown
Kansas–Adam Hamilton
Iowa–Josh Turek
Nebraska–Dan Osborn (Independent)
Alaska–Mary Peltola

The most massive change (13 seats) occurred once in 1958 when Democrats won 13 seats in the Midterm Elections of that year, during the Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Three times–1980 Republicans gained 12 seats with election of Ronald Reagan; 1946 Republicans gained 12 seats in Midterm Elections under Harry Truman; and 1932 Democrats gained 12 seats with election of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

There is also a slight possibility that Montana with Independent Seth Bodnar; Idaho with Independent Todd Achilles; Kentucky with Charles Booker; and South Dakota with Independent Brian Bengs, might have a shot at winning, but it seems highly unlikely.

We shall see how accurate my projections are in a few days.

Republican Party Of Donald Trump Promotes Prejudice, Hatred, Discrimination, And Bias Against Many Groups Of Americans!

Ronald 75 Comments

As the nation nears the Midterm Elections of 2026, reality makes clear that the Republican Party of Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans promote:

Racism
Prejudice
Discrimination
Hatred
Bias
Misogyny

against many groups of Americans.

This includes:

Gay Americans
Trans Americans
Hispanic-Latino Americans
African Americans
Muslim Americans From Middle East and South Asian heritage
Elements Of Anti Semitism against Jewish Americans
Women’s Rights
East Asian and South Asian Americans

This is tragic, as denial of basic human rights and protections have drastically affected gay and trans Americans, with so much vehemence by right wing extremists and Christian supremacists.

Hispanic-Latino Americans have been rounded up by ICE in a brutal fashion, placed in outrageous deportation facilities and horribly mistreated, including a vast majority of citizens or legal residents.

African Americans have faced open racism in a brutal manner, sadly nothing new in the lives of people who deserve better.

Muslim Americans as a group have been accused of lack of loyalty to America, and been made out to be supporters of what happened on September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked.

Because of a split over the Israel-Gaza War, large elements of antisemites, and right wing extremist influencers, have promoted the idea of Jews being a group to be hated and face violence, and also the call for destruction of the Jewish state of Israel.

Women’s Rights have been affected, with the push to send women back home to be mothers and wives, and not have careers.

These misogynists advocate the vicious mistreatment of women by male chauvinists and the “manosphere”, who believe women can be violated by men for their own sexual desires, not concerning themselves with the harm visited upon women by rape.

East Asian and South Asian Americans, whether citizens or legal residents, have also been victims of ICE, and faced racial prejudice.

The contradiction is that we have Republicans in power who fit all of these groups, and who do not speak up and oppose the discriminatory policies of the bigoted, biased, hateful, prejudiced President Donald Trump, clear evidence of pure hypocrisy.

The Republican Party needs to be soundly defeated in state races across the nation, and in races for both houses of Congress.

They need to be held accountable for their reprehensible behavior, including Donald Trump, his Cabinet and other advisors, and state leaders and Congressional members who sow hatred, and act as sycophants.

There is a dire need for the reshaping of the Republican Party, returning to the traditional conservatism of its long historic past, as otherwise, there is the necessity of a new political party replacing this extreme MAGA Republican Party and its disgraceful leader, Donald Trump.
