On MLK Day, Donald Trump isn’t honoring MLK’s legacy; he’s dismantling it. From scrubbing MLK Day and Juneteenth from the National Park Service calendar, to whitewashing American history under an Orwellian “sanity” order, to weaponizing DEI bans as grievance-driven affirmative action for Whites, Project 2025 amounts to a full-scale rollback of civil rights. iPINIONS damns… Read more.
Trump has turned the Resolute Desk into the Excuse Desk, dodging blame while auctioning off pardons, rewarding crooks, and selling out America to foreign strongmen. iPINIONS argues that, from Saudi blood money to Honduran narco-politics to get-out-of-jail cards for wealthy swindlers, Trump’s presidency is now a pay-to-betray operation.

Zohran Mamdani made history last night, becoming the first Muslim elected mayor of New York City. Progressives are celebrating — and rightfully so. But Republicans are, too, because they think they’ve found their new national bogeyman. iPINIONS exposes how the GOP’s gaslighting and projection are trying to make Mamdani the face of “Democratic socialism” to… Read more.

iPINIONS hails the millions marching today under the banner No Kings. This promises to be the largest nonviolent protest in US history, marching in the spirit of MLK against Trump’s creeping authoritarianism.

Trump’s billionaire backers (Ellison, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, and Murdoch) are turning America’s news industry into a MAGA propaganda machine.

This post analyzes the Supreme Court’s most consequential rivalry — one between a MAGA-aligned enabler and a justice dissenting with the clarity of a Nazi hunter. From book tour barbs to courtroom ideology, iPINIONS contends this isn’t just about legal theory. It’s about who will… Read more.
America celebrates traffic and sales while workers work. This post shows how grievance politics swap wages for outrage… how offshoring buys cheap goods at the cost of jobs… and how algorithms now do what foremen used to do. iPINIONS contends that the theater is the point… and workers pay for the tickets. Read my full… Read more.
