3520 – Wednesday, September 11, 2019 — Can We Ever Understand the Trump Phenomenon?
Pontificating and writing books and articles about what I will call the Trump phenomenon has become (forgive my use of this cliché), a Cottage Industry. I have three books on my shelf right now in which an author has gone on a quest (to a remote area of America) to find the reason why so much of rural and middle America embraced Trump.

The thought that “you will have liberty if you can pay for it” rings true 100 years after Lucy spoke these sad and forlorn words. Today we say “politics and courts are ruled by the Golden Rule. He who has the money makes the rules.” Know more https://bit.ly/2EZvzZy.
Reconstructing the Great Speeches – Lucy Parsons: “I am an Anarchist”

Who will remember an Anarchist who fought for the rights of workers against the giant corporations in 1900? Now tell me how many people will remember and even admire a Black woman Anarchist who dedicated her life to fighting all three battles? Read more https://bit.ly/334uV4X.

Reconstructing the Great Speeches – Frederic Douglass: “If There is No Struggle, there is No Progress”
Actually, the name of this speech is the “West India Emancipation Speech.” However, the line from Douglass’s speech that “If there is no struggle, there is no progress” is one of the most memorable lines in the history of speech. I first read about the life of Frederic Douglass sometime around the end of the sixties. Mail us at [email protected].

Father Sthokal passed away this week on August 11th, 2020. He will be missed and never forgotten by the thousands of men who passed through Demontreville over the years that Father Ed was there. Such a remarkable man. This story deals with my first retreat and my first meeting with Father Sthokal way back in 1986. I have since completed 37 retreats. Mail us at [email protected].
101 Reasons Why I love the Chinese
Let’s start with the most obvious reason. Without the Chinese there would be no Chinese restaurants. No egg rolls. No chop suey. No fortune cookies. No egg foo young. No dim sum. No cute little sayings to make me think about my life. No Confucius. No wonderful tea. No China plates. But the biggest reason, is that without the Chinese we would have no one to hate.
