Trump: Promises Made, Promises Broken

•
By Dan Bielaski
A lot of the focus during Trump’s 2nd presidency has been on the many objectionable actions he’s pursued.  But, just as crucial are all of the things that Trump has NOT done, many of which were campaign promises that voters claimed were the reason they voted for him: Promise Made: Trump promised to lower prices on Day One, end inflation, and “make America affordable again.”  Promise Broken: In reality, inflation has accelerated and prices have spiked on everything from groceries to gas — largely due to Trump’s reckless trade war.

No. Don’t let the markets decide!

•
By Robert Sells
The painful truth is that global warming is already impacting us and it will just get worse as Republicans push for Americans to accept fossil fuels as panacea for economic problems they created by giving tax breaks to the very rich. Droughts are already impacting lakes across the country. Harmful algal blooms that erupt in very warm water can be dangerous to humans and animals, causing illness and even death.

The pledge of allegiance ends with “liberty and justice for all”. Not anymore. Liberties are being denied to the non-white, the Muslim, the immigrant, the protestor. Due process is too often denied just because Trump doesn’t like some group or person. Be afraid, America. Be very afraid. This is not law and order. It’s denying rights and due process to ALL the people.

By Kathleen Jones
It’s doubtful that we will soon forget what happened in Kerr County, Texas on Independence Day, 2025. Massive flooding overwhelming the area quickly with deep sludge, leaving 135 dead, at least 37 of which were children. And there are 3 still missing. What are we to make of such a horrific event? Was it just a random event that happens every once in a while? Or was it an event that is bound to happen more regularly? Scientists are warning that global warming (i.e., a climate change component) is causing rising sea levels and more intense rainfall, both of which increase the risk and severity of flooding.
