How the American Dream Grew
If the seed of the American Dream was planted during the dark days of the Depression, germinated at the New York Worlds Fair of 1939, it was nurtured and cultivated during the sacrifices and deprivations of WWII. By wars end

Trump’s Lake America Fantasy
No body of water is safe from that Sharpie-wielding maniac! “All you need is a pen and intelligence,” boasts Donald Trump as he randomly changes Lake Ontario to Lake America purely on a juvenile, vindictive whim. He may have

What Has Happened Aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln is Un-American.
Nine long months. At sea. And nobody in charge can tell these military families when their loved ones are coming home. Moldy showers. Broken toilets. No soap, no deodorant, no toothpaste. Meals so meager they’ve been reduced to half a

The Photograph That Started the Question-The Story Behind a July 4th Photograph and the American Dream it Captured.

Anthony Fauci Comes Under Attack
Another witch hunt in Congress. Watching a dedicated public servant like Dr Anthony Fauci being raked over the coals by ignorant, repugnant Republicans is repulsive. And a disgrace. A rabid Rand Paul is in a frenzy in his attacks. Emboldened
