We're about to see that, when it comes to loosening the extreme lockdown conditions gripping the United States as a result of the novel coronavirus outbreak, that there's a right way to do things and a wrong way. We can only hope and pray that the wrong way doesn't end in tragic results.

Donald Trump wants to be seen as a leader and a statesman, carrying his nation through this national emergency. But by stoking the protesters across the country who are challenging the lockdown and social distancing measures in place to deal with the spread of the novel coronavirus, Trump actually will have blood on his hands.

Congress has already had to set up a special committee dedicated to watchdogging the administration's use of funds made available in the recent $2 trillion economic stimulus package. Now it appears that lawmakers will also have to investigate whole other examples of what's either incompetence or someone with a hand in a federal cookie jar, trying to actually profit off of this disease.

After years of he and his boss complaining about "socialism," Vice President Mike Pence is promising healthcare to all Americans--whether they have health coverage or not. It sounds much more like something that you would expect to come out of the mouth of a Democrat than a top member of the Trump administration.

Lincoln Chafee's had a long and honorable career in public service. But now, he's a Libertarian? I mean, why not, he's been everything else.

So, Tulsi Gabbard has finally suspended her moribund presidental campaign. What comes next for her?

If Trump's so concerned with his own reelection, he ought to let go of his ideological rigidity and embrace some of these other ideas actually designed to help the most Americans (read potential voters) as possible.

So, sure, you can say that both sides are "playing politics" with the coronavirus covid 19 outbreak. But don't dare draw any false equivalencies.

Trump's response to the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak is inadequate. We need a policy which helps the working class on Main Street.

Reducing his affair with Lewinsky to essentially stress management is not only callous, but cruel. Cruel to Monica Lewinsky.
