Sorry, Charlie Brown, but iPINIONS has been warning for years that when it comes to Trump’s America, separation of powers is just another quaint tradition Republicans are all too happy to ignore. Turns out, all three branches weren’t necessary, just one packed with political sycophants and judicial hacks. Read more.
As America teeters toward Civil War 2.0, iPINIONS compares Obama’s latest warnings about democracy with Okonkwo’s doomed fight in Things Fall Apart. Read my take on Substack: https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/obama-returns-as-things-fall-apart Read more.
Trump is dithering over whether to bomb Iran, but not out of principle. He’s hedging like he always does, hoping to claim credit after Israel does the dirty work. iPINIONS exposes how Trump is torn between Putin, Netanyahu, and his MAGA handlers… and why his base will obey, no matter what he decrees. Read my… Read more.
He once flaunted the MLK bust like a prop. Now he’s removed it, while gutting DEI and pretending Juneteenth is woke fiction. iPINIONS exposes how Trump is now erasing the civil rights of Black Americans as brazenly as he once exploited Black voters for political gain.

It’s bad enough that wannabe oligarchs like Jeff Bezos are joining the MAGA cult to help Trump turn American democracy into a Russia-style autocracy. But these craven SOBs have no compunction about widening the gap between rich and poor to even more obscene extremes. That’s why they no longer measure wealth between the haves and… Read more.
Harvard just fired Professor Francesca Gino for dishonesty, but Trump is trying to break the entire university for disobedience. iPINIONS puts this Gino firing in context — not just of Harvard’s leadership scandals, but of Trump’s autocratic war on academic freedom.

Target wants you to believe tariffs are behind its slumping sales. But iPINIONS contends that it’s really a modern-day Montgomery-style boycott by Black consumers fed up with its anti-DEI betrayal. And if Target’s already crying “unsustainable” after just 65 days, imagine what happens by day 200, when Pastor Jamal Bryant shifts the spotlight to Amazon… Read more.
I’ve written volumes over the years about Trump’s narcissism, envy, and insecurity. But his latest tantrum, accusing Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and even Oprah of election meddling, marks a new low in his war against celebrity rejection. Trump craves celebrity validation the way his MAGA followers crave his attention. The irony? He wouldn’t let… Read more.
Because Trump’s debasement of America in service of enriching himself knows no bounds. Just imagine the outrage if Obama accepted a luxury jet (even from a trusted ally like Britain) to replace American-made Air Force One. Let alone from Qatar. But Trump has shown time and again he couldn’t care less about national security. Hell,… Read more.
