Thank You for Your Coup

For argument’s sake, let’s assume that Donald Trump is the worst United States president in history. Still, is he so bad that you would like to see him overthrown via a military coup? A new survey from the Center for Strategic Politics, reported on Tuesday by Ryan King at the New York Post, indicates that 59 percent of Democrats would feel from somewhat to very positive to waking up tomorrow morning and find out such a military coup had booted Trump from office, supposedly to safeguard the US Constitution.

Taking with a Grain of Salt the Campus Climate Brief

You can tell something is off with the Alums for Campus Fairness’s Campus Climate Brief from the cover of the report. There you see the odd secondary title of “The Strongest and Most Concerning Campuses for Jewish and Pro-Israel Students.”

Rejecting Corporatism

In his column last week, Ron Paul discussed the threat in America from corporatism, “where power remains nominally in private hands but the government gains significant control.” Movement toward corporatism, Paul’s editorial asserted, is evidenced by the United States government during the administration of President Donald Trump proceeding to amass ownership interests in a growing list of companies. Paul judged this policy pursued by Trump as “dangerous to liberty and prosperity.”

Disliking Israel, a Popular Opinion across the World

The Israel government has done a lot to earn dislike through bringing death and destruction on a vast scale. People are seeing Israel’s attacks in the last few years on Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and beyond as using destructive force that is not just defensive and focused on military targets. General annihilation is seen as a clear objective.

The People Versus the Vaccine Pushers

A few years have passed since the coronavirus scare culminated in government pushing experimental “vaccine” shots on everyone. It was asserted to be the only path to safety after the shutting down of much of the routine individual, social, and medical responses that had been used to deal with such health threats in the past and after the refusal to admit that coronavirus was not a major threat for most people.

Poll Finds the Majority of Americans Are Not Buying the Trump Administration’s Excuse for Military Action Against Venezuela

A CBS poll conducted November 19-21 has found that 70 percent of polled Americans oppose the United States government taking military action in Venezuela.

Americans Say ‘No’ to US Military Aggression Against Venezuela

Since September, the presidential administration of Donald Trump has been directing the United States military to blow up boats and kill their occupants in the Caribbean and Pacific, claiming to be thus countering Venezuela government supported “narco-terrorism.” At the same time, it has been building up a large US military force off the Venezuela shore. And the Trump administration has made clear that these actions go hand in hand with seeking to achieve its goal of removing Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro from office.

Can Marijuana Legalization Help Keep Republican Majorities in Congress?

Eight years ago this month I commented that “I would not be surprised to see the US government legalize marijuana within the next five years.” That conclusion came upon my consideration of the then 64 percent nationwide support for legalization among Americans who had been recently polled by Gallup, plus — for the first time — majority support among Republicans.

Voters Turn against Trump on Price Increases and Financial Conditions

In the November of 2024 presidential election, CNN exit polling indicated that Donald Trump won the support of 76 percent of voters who answered that in the past year inflation had caused their families “severe hardship.” Now, less than five months later, voters are viewing the Trump administration as failing to address this issue sufficiently. A March 27-28 CBS poll found that 64 percent of polled individuals believed the Trump administration was “not enough” focused on lowering prices.

Provoking Nuclear War Over Something Americans Do Not See as a Major Threat

New polling conducted this month by the Pew Research Center indicates that only 30 percent of Americans believe that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a “major threat to U.S. interests.” That perception was at its highest of 50 percent of Americans shortly after the invasion. It has in successive polling consistently come in much lower, until reaching this new low.
