Ten years after Donald Trump first ran for president, he stands at the helm of Titanic America. How did this happen?

 No factors were more pivotal than the outlooks and actions of the Democratic Party leadership. Scrutinizing them now is vital not only for clarity about the past. It also makes possible a clear focus on ways to prevent further catastrophe.

 Here’s actual history that corporate Democrats pretend didn’t happen:

The Twilight of the Secret Government is a new book by ex CIA Kevin Shipp and Kent Heckenlively. Here is the description as per the website at the publisher, Skyhorse publishing.
 

Columbus City Schools (CCS) are facing their greatest challenge in years. Not only does the district have a “D” rating for quality, but now must cut over 50 million dollars from their budget (thanks to the state Republicans and their hatred of public education).

As a former teacher (both public and private schools) I’ve been following the steps that CCS has, and has not, been taking. Most important:

1. The excessive number of administrators in the Central Office, and
2. How those Central Office administrators have their STRS pension payments not deducted from their paychecks (like every teacher), but instead paid for by CCS.

I care about the future of Columbus and a strong CCS is vital for our success. Therefore, I took it upon myself to email every member of the CCS Board of Education; twice. Everyone, except one person ignored my questions.

So thank you to Jennifer Anne Adair for not only reading my email but even responding. Part of her reply included:

This week, every state insurance commissioner including Ohio’s Judith French will meet in Hollywood, Florida, for their quarterly national gathering. If a corporate insurance lobbyist is a shark, this meeting is a feeding frenzy. And the sharks have been eating well.

Insurance commissioners across the country are abdicating their public duty by giving in to corporate lobbyists that want to profit from insuring fossil fuel projects and investing in fossil fuel companies – while leaving ratepayers holding the climate crisis bag.

In Ohio, insurance premiums have climbed 36.1% over the last six years, while nonrenewal rates went up 31% from 2022 to 2023. Big insurance companies blame the climate crisis – yet they insure and invest in the very fossil fuel companies that are driving the climate crisis – including in companies fracking Ohio’s state parks and public lands.
