The U.S. government has been approved to use drones, not only in the Middle East, but in the U.S. This might be a technological breakthrough, but numerous issues will occur that cannot be undone.

“[A]s secretary of state, we know that there was quite a revolving door between the oil and gas lobby and her people at State and on her previous campaign staff." So should we be worried about Hillary Clinton standing up to Big Oil and Gas?

What the Fed's about to do will affect your job and your income, and here's what you can do to make sure the FED makes the right decision.

The U.S. has experienced "gush-up" rather than "trickle-down" with the message of "winner-take-all" wealth over the common good. The shame is on the adherents of unregulated free-market capitalism—Congress.

The United States has the potential to become truly exceptional. Job creation, U.S. corporate tax code reform, keeping jobs in the U.S., alternative forms of energy, better transportation, and so many other improvements can be made to positively change such a powerful country.

There is lingering suspicion on exactly who told reporters that Hillary Clinton's emails, which weren't classified, but should have been, were a matter for criminal investigation. Who could it be?

How long can the commons survive when our most affluent free-loaders are not only “too big to fail” but “too immune to pay their own way”?

While Donald Trump continues to be a loud-mouthed celebrity's gaffe, Jeb Bush's feigned outrage over Trumps comments of John McCain not being a "war hero" puts him in the same category— a sanctimonious fraud.
