Portraying far-left and far-right as equal in ‘Civil War’ is wrong
The movie “Civil War,” which depicts Texas and California seceding from the nation to wage war on Washington, D.C., reflects a what-if scenario fueled by memories of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

Why I doubt Trump will be convicted in hush money case
Donald Trump is the first former president to face trial on criminal charges. In the first of potentially four trials, Trump entered a plea of not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Political comedy has a role to play in Gaza
Political comedians in the U.S. have sometimes struggled to cover the war in Gaza, which has been defined by tremendous human suffering and high political polarization, none of which seems particularly funny.

Republicans don’t care about female voters
Women make up the largest demographic among registered voters in America and consistently participate in elections, with over 68% turning out to vote in the 2020 presidential election.

Racist Trump using Black voters as props
President Biden garnered significant backing from Black voters in the 2020 election, but a recent poll suggests that this support might be waning.

US should stop providing arms to Israel
The atrocities of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel have been well-documented, widely reported and verified by the United Nations.

Why I fear the financial judgments against corrupt Trump
With two recent verdicts against former President Donald Trump —one in the defamation case involving journalist E. Jean Carroll, resulting in an $83.3 million fine, and the other imposing a $355 million penalty for fraudulent inflation of his net worth to lenders — Trump is now potentially liable for nearly half a billion dollars.
