Election 2024: Did The First Presidential Debate Tell Us Anything We Didn’t Already Know?

Joe Biden and Donald Trump are both old men. We already knew that. Neither’s brain can be honestly characterized as hitting on all the key cognitive cylinders. We already knew that.

Julian Assange Is Released from Prison: What Does it Mean?

The WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, will at long last taste freedom again. He should never have been imprisoned. Nevertheless, the release is conditional on his accepting to plead guilty to espionage in the United States — in the far-flung US territory of Saipan.

A Holiday Proposal: Festivus in July!

Sinophobia: Communist as a Pejorative

From the Red Scare of the 1920s to the McCarthyism of the 1950s to the Reagan Crusade against the Evil Empire of the 1980s, the American people have been subjected to a relentless anti-communist indoctrination. It is imbibed with their mother’s milk, pictured in their comic books, spelled out in their school books; their daily paper offers them headlines that tell them all they need to know; ministers find sermons in it, politicians are elected with it, and Reader’s Digest becomes rich on it.
