Could you come up with a more cynical division of labor than Trump railing against immigrants from Central America in racist language in Duluth, Minnesota last night and Melania’s “humanitarian” visit to a Texas border town this morning to “comfort” children who have been separated from their parents by her husband’s actions?
I can’t, and I hope, people in the media don’t give Melania a free pass. She isn’t an innocent nor is Ivanka. As Billy Allan, a larger than life writer for the Daily World back in the day, would say, “If you run with the hounds, you will soon smell like them.”

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
