Politics Done Right

Three events: The failure to pass Chile's new constitution, Biogen's new Alzheimer drug Aduhelm's price gouging, & the complete corporatization of Ukraine illustrates a systemic media fail. Biogen’s Aduhelm’s story, the failure to pass a very progressive Chilean constitution, and Ukraine selling out to the privatization of rebuilding have a central core. These events happened because citizens...

The Politics Done Right sounded exasperated. She wanted directions to turn Texas blue. I presented her with the only option I think can work.

Local newspapers are being taken over by news sites that purport to be local news but tend to be wards of a political party or corporate interests. Solution? Independent media. The news model must change, and it does not have to be bad. After all, journalism of the past was very patriarchal, where a few controlled the orderly dissemination of the news for our consumption. So we had the point of vi...

It is time to invoke the 14th amendment on every politician who supported the coup. We should not allow them to serve nationally or locally.

A caller to Politics Done Right said he lost his friend of thirty-five years because of Trump. I told him why one should not let politics get between friendships.

A PDR caller laments that some, specifically people of color, rarely get the opportunity to fail without it being fatal to their profession.

It is time to invoke the 14th amendment on every politician who supported the coup. Do not allow politicians to come between friends. A magic school bus story. Some lack the Magic Schoolbus Teacher's advice: The opportunity to fail that's not fatal. Why?: A PDR caller laments that some, specifically people of color, rarely get the opportunity to fail without it being fatal to their profession. Adv...

Matthew Dowd continues his quest to expose the Republican Party for the fascist, white supremacist authoritarian organization it has become.

Mike Barnacle made a prescient statement recently on #MorningJoe.  “We are talking about cruelty versus incompetence,” Mike Barnacle said. “The Republican proven cruelty and the president’s proven competence.”

Matthew Dowd Nails it as he perfectly defines the new Republican Party. Is it cruelty over humane competence, as stated by Mike Barnacle? Shameful GOP outcomes by the numbers.

Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl has much to say about another handout to the wealthy. NY Rep. lied himself to a seat in Congress. Under oath, Hannity told the truth. One hopes his audience is listening. Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl: Tired of tax cuts for the rich being sold as help for the poor: Patriotic Millionaires Chair Morris Pearl said that he is tired of tax cuts for the rich bei...

The United States is facing problems it should not have as the most wealthy nation on the planet. It is about cruelty over competence. So far, cruelty still plays a major part in many areas. We must apply two solutions in our quest to ensure all Americans have equal access to success, happiness, and health. First, we must give these people space to articulate their beliefs even as we challenge the...

Patriotic Millionaires Chair Morris Pearl said that he is tired of tax cuts for the rich being sold as help for the poor. The 2022 Omnibus bill's Secure 2.0 Act is in his crosshairs. It uses this as a pretext for making retirement accounts more flexible, but it is a giveaway to the wealthy.

Here is another example of the indignities POCs must go through while shopping. Dr. Lindia Willies-Jacobo tells her story. Robert Reich discusses Aftershock.

I interviewed Robert Reich several years ago when he released his book Aftershock. Unfortunately, things have gotten much worse since.

My sister texted me after submitting a report on her experience being profiled at Road Runner Sports in San Diego. It was the classic case of #ShoppingWhileBlack.

My sister texted me after submitting a report on he experience being profiled at Road Runner Sports in San Diego. A Right-Wing caller objects to my stance on who made helped Oprah get rich.

A caller to Politics Done Right attempted to use Oprah to refute my statement on the wealthy. He failed but created a learning opportunity.

The stock market is rigged. It is no secret. Yet, we continue to live the dream that most of us will not do as well as we should. Let's talk about it.

The Secure 2.0 Act and a rigged stock market prove our economic system was designed by and for the wealthy from its inception. And the mainstream media frame the message that keeps us ignorant.

Bernie's take on the new inflation numbers. We reprise an interview with President Clinton's Labor Secretary, Robert Reich. Who is to be blamed for the real cause of inflation, corporate greed, and incompetence? And here is a feel-good story, a kidney transplant that shows our real humanity. Professor Reich was President Clinton's Secretary of labor between 1993 and 1997. He is now the Chancellor'...

This story is fundamentally human. One could take so many angles with a woman donating one of her kidneys, especially in these polarized times. I saw a story on ABC about a woman in Texas that donated her kidney to a stranger in New Jersey. Imagine if these were the stories we spent more time highlighting how different society would be. I first thought about how selfless, humane, and empathetic th...

It is happening slower than we expected, but the Donald Trump reign is coming to an end from various directions. And Republican politicians know it.
