When the Supreme Court decided the Citizens United case, there was a great hue and cry from both Democratic politicians and the public. The Court had ruled that corporations are persons within the meaning of the First Amendment, and that they have the right to political free speech. Political free speech, in America, means the…
Trump and his populists have taken over the Republican party. The insurrection he led effectively stripped the Republican establishment of power and influence over their nominee. No Republican candidate for president has been as despised by Wall Street and special interests since Teddy Roosevelt ran in 1904. Until The Donald, the GOP was the party…
The establishment cannot control Bernie or Trump. They have hooks in neither. They cannot rely on either to play their games or follow the standard script. As Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee, the establishment is circling the wagons around Hillary. They bought-and-paid-for her and now hope to elect her. To frighten the uninformed, the…

The Sanders phenomenon is not politics as usual. It is bigger than Sanders himself. And it exposes the fundamental differences between the progressive left and the Wall Street Democrats who have controlled the party for decades.

Leaving Wall Street Democrats in charge of the Democratic party is a much more dangerous course of action than throwing them out. The number one establishment talking point is that we must keep the conservative Democrats in office to keep the conservative Republicans out of office. That line of propaganda is wearing thin. There are…
Hillary doesn’t get it. The Democratic establishment doesn’t get it. The political pundits don’t get it. The media talking heads don’t get it. But almost everyone under thirty does get it. The movement to elect Bernie Sanders is not a political movement! Let me say that again. Politics has nothing to do with the support…
For all their apparent differences. Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz are very much alike. At least Wall Street thinks so.

Because campaign donations are nothing other than legalized bribes, and both Hillary and Cruz are…
