Trump’s numbers in public opinion polls are under water and getting worse. And yet with the midterm elections coming into view, he plows ahead with no adjustments to his neofascist agenda that might reverse his sinking popularity. While there is more than one reason to explain his refusal to alter his administration’s present course, one that figures large in his political calculus is the likely willingness of the not so “Supreme” Court and his servile MAGA party to gerrymander state election maps before the midterms to decisively favor the Republican Party Congressional candidates next year.

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.
