Shortly after the 2016 election, we discussed voting in the US and in our sister nations around the world. We noted the many initiatives being taken in the US to improve the way we vote in this country.

Staying Sane in an Insane Time Through Collective Action
For progressives, it is probably not a stretch to say that things in the US have become even scarier, more stressful and more unbelievable than they already were in the Age of Trump. The President, since the release of the Mueller Report, his impeachment, and his acquittal, combined with the undying support he has from […]
Inspiring and Courageous Quotes from Our Country’s Latest Impeachment Chapter
Time will tell how bad the fallout will be for several senators who voted to convict President Trump of one or both of the two Articles of Impeachment on February 5, 2020. We can already see, as early as the next day, how cruel Trump, his family members and his cronies could be toward Utah […]
Trump and Project Blitz: Beware False Attempts to Promote Religious Literacy
In previous posts (Religious Literacy Guidelines for College Students and HarvardX: Online Course on Religious Literacy), we have discussed the necessity among Americans (including journalists) to become more literate about religion, including the Bible (upon which, like it or not, Western civilization is largely dependent).

Updates on Issues Previously Raised
We have commented on a number of issues in the past which we can now update.

The House is Blue
The midterm election is over, and the House of Representatives has turned blue. So have state legislatures and governorships around the country.

But in many places throughout our country, especially in the districts where Democrats […]

What is the ADF and Why is Jeff Sessions Praising It?

Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III has announced a “Religious Liberty Task Force” that is, in effect, a vicious attack against the LGBTQ community. Here is how the dots are connected: The ADF is the […]
