The political and cultural atmosphere in the United States—what’s considered “normal”—has changed so drastically, so quickly, that it is often surreal to write news articles about current events. A writer asks himself, “Can this really be the case?” While Donald Trump’s presidential victory (along with Republicans keeping the Senate and taking the House) has turned
Remember the dock workers’ strike from earlier this year?

President-elect Donald Trump made a historically unique and profound statement earlier this year that got overlooked. It’s about one of the worst abuses of children in American history, perhaps world history. He looked directly at the camera and told the truth—no other politician has done so—about what “gender-affirming care” for children really is: mutilation and

If you’re of a certain age, you remember watching All in the Family when it aired on primetime. The show featured a working class white family living in Queens.
