For Trump administration, law of ‘The Jungle’

UncategorizedBy John YoungJuly 10, 20171 Comment

“There was no place in it where a man counted against a dollar. And worse than there being no decency, there was not even honesty.” So wrote Upton Sinclair about the meat-processing industry in his 1906 masterpiece “The Jungle.” The result of Sinclair’s undercover work in Chicago plants, the novel sparked changes in the way…

Mr. Fraud is on the trail of — voter fraud?

UncategorizedBy John YoungJuly 3, 2017Leave a comment

Donald Trump and his apologists have put the “con” in “conservative.” Conservatism? He doesn’t stand for anything in particular. What he stands for is the con. What Senate leaders have hilariously named the Better Care Reconciliation Act is just another con — just another luxury vessel Trump wants to christen as his own. “Better Care”…

Now showing: “The Thing From Beyond the Senate Door”

UncategorizedBy John YoungJune 26, 2017Leave a comment

Donald Trump, running for president, said he would not cut Medicaid. He said that though he would eviscerate the Affordable Care Act with a mighty and swift sword, “Everybody’s going to get covered" under his alternative. "I don't care if it costs me votes or not.” So, America, do you think he would veto any…

Health policy: Team ‘Mean’ hands off to ‘Coward Caucus’

UncategorizedBy John YoungJune 20, 2017Leave a comment

Donald Trump didn’t just say the House-passed bill to replace the Affordable Care Act was mean. He called it “mean, mean, mean.” That’s “mean” times three. Interesting. When he invited the House White Caucus, er, Republican Caucus, over for a celebratory photo op after its passage, he said the bill was “incredibly well-crafted.” But let’s…

One Trump shrug said more than all his lies

UncategorizedBy John YoungJune 13, 2017Leave a comment

Sen. Richard Burr: “Do you have any doubt that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 elections?” Former FBI director James Comey: “None.” It was the kind of question you’d expect someone concerned about national security and the state of our elections to ask the man who ran the FBI until recently. It was the…

Donald Trump vs. (most of) the planet

UncategorizedBy John YoungJune 5, 2017Leave a comment

It’s easy to distill Donald Trump’s decision on the Paris Climate Agreement down to the fact that, like a coddled toddler, he ascertained that as president no one could make him do it. Easy to deduce that, like a smart 3-year-old, he rejected peas and carrots because, yuck. The thing is, if that was Trump’s…

What the family billions bought Betsy DeVos

UncategorizedBy John YoungMay 30, 20171 Comment

Betsy DeVos took the Jared Kushner route to a prominent place in America’s life. She married into it. She did it by betrothing billionaire ($5.5 billion net worth) Dick DeVos, whose father founded Amway. Dick got his turn as CEO. It’s the American way. So is buying influence with lawmakers. Over the years, the DeVos…

‘Deep Throats’ lined up for a city block

UncategorizedBy John YoungMay 22, 2017Leave a comment

Newly elevated, helium-inflated, a president for a bare blink of an eye, Donald Trump chose as one of his first presidential acts a declaration of war on the press. So, how’s that going? Trump called reporters “the enemies of the people.” Henchman Steve Bannon called the media “the opposition party.” Interesting claim from one who…

Two impeachable obstructions at play here

UncategorizedBy John YoungMay 15, 2017Leave a comment

As we recall now, it was James McCord, our nation’s 37th president, who in 1974 famously said, “People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook.” No? Oh, right; James McCord wasn’t president. He was just the first name of note – a campaign committee schlemiel arrested…

Pop a cold one for one cold-hearted vote

UncategorizedBy John YoungMay 8, 2017Leave a comment

Look at the smiles on those faces. Look at the preening. You’d have thought President Trump and the beaming Republican cohorts standing behind him – Stephen Colbert called it “the strategic white persons reserve” – had just cured cancer. Or accepted ISIS’s surrender. Or returned man to the moon. Or brokered Middle East peace. No.…
