What's Next For The Democratic Party

How should the Democratic Party get voters to appreciate them? I joined Hal Ginsberg for our regular Tuesday Halitics videocast on YouTube.com. Hal and I agreed the party will get nowhere without persuading voters they will fight for Medicare for All, affordable housing, making student loans affordable, and other programs to help the working people of this country. Making the super wealthy pay…

Who Would Be the Best Democrat to Beat the Demented Orange Autocrat?

Breaking news is plentiful–unfortunately it’s all bad. Trump continues his total takedown of the U.S. government. On the YouTube videocast “Halitics” Wednesday Hal Ginsberg and I discussed which Democrat could successfully run against Trump (whose approval ratings continue to tank). I think Gavin Newsome is the best choice. Hal is cautious about Gavin, but he noted a negative review of Kamala…

American Boys Need Our Help

It’s not in the headlines, but the indicators tell us boys are going through a tough patch. On the YouTube videocast Halitics, Hal and I are aware that boys are going to college at a rate lower than girls, playing less sports, having more mental issues, feeling lonely, etc. When similar problems were noticed over a century ago, society stepped up to solve these problems, with youth organizations…

"Coach," Gaza, Fox News, and Lowering Our Standards

As always, much to talk about. The first order of business on Halitics (a daily YouTube videocast) was to talk about an old friend, KC Lynch, who passed away a few days ago in his apartment. He was a pioneer at the old KRXA, and liked by many. Then on to the tragic events in Gaza. Israeli president Netanyahu continues to kill too many civilians in Gaza. Hal and I talked about a column by Nicolas…

All Trump, All the Time

President Trump found out this week he isn’t invincible. Much of his MAGA base couldn’t understand his reluctance to show the Epstein records. But soon enough they began to forgave their leader. Hal Ginsberg and I covered many topics Tuesday on Hal’s YouTube videocast Halitics. We see climate catastrophes being more frequent and worsened by cuts to the agencies that are supposed to help.…

Can Trump Cancel the Next Election?

Political problems are everywhere, so Hal Ginsberg and I made efforts to solve some of them on my weekly appearance on Hal’s YouTube videocast Halitics. As usual, we talked about the problems facing the Democratic Party, including the rapid changes and uncertainty in Trump’s foreign and economic policies. We talked about healthcare problems and how cutbacks are only going to make the situation…

What Can Dem's Learn From Mamdani Win?

As Republicans struggle to pass Donald Trump’s grossly unfair and unpopular budget bill, Halitic’s host Hal Ginsberg and I talk about Zohran Mamdani’s surprise win in New York City and whether his type of winning campaign could be successful anywhere else. We also discussed a NYTimes article about the chances of 3rd parties in our elections, Kamala Harris’s possible run for governor in…

How Bad Can It Get? Keep Watching!

Is there no limit to the corruption and dictatorial power that get worse almost every day from the Trump White House? My weekly appearance on Hal Ginsberg’s YouTube videocast Halitics delves into our dwindling democracy and Trump’s limitless violations of the Constitution, especially his disregard for the emoluments clause seen blatantly his week with his desire to obtain the $400 million jet…
