Vincent James has created a special day of the year and a week of the year—for music for kids. That got me thinking of how late congressman John Conyers created Martin Luther King day as a national holiday— an endeavor which took him years to accomplish. I explored with Vincent steps he’s taken to create such a day. Since I believe there are probably many other people who want to make special days for special reasons

Religion, throughout much of the world, is fading. That’s what author Ronald Inglehart’s book, Religion’s Sudden Decline: What’s Causing it and What Comes Next, tells us. Professor Inglehart has based his conclusions on a massive study—The World Values Survey, which tracks responses to people in 100 societies representing 90% of the world’s population. It’s a study that they’ve been doing the past forty years.
Paul Hetznecker is a radical defense attorney who has defended hundreds of progressive protesters. I asked him how the right wing, white supremacists who invaded the Capitol would be treated in terms of legal defense.. He discussed the difference in the way police behave, as compared to dealing with progressives or BLM, and speculated on who will go to jail and who won't based on the charges that will be leveled against them
I interview Watermelon Slime (watermelonslim.com) and he plays two songs: Corona Funk and Immortal. He's a bluesman Dobro slide guitar and harmonica player and singer, an activist, anti-war protester and writer for OpEdNews

Suppression of alternative medicine has a long history. We discuss that history, how it has been done and how it is being done down during the time of of Covid-19/Corona Virus.
Thom Hartmann, Greg Palast and Jonathan Simon predicted that Trump and the Republicans would try to steal the presidency.

This is a short under 15 minute must listen interview Greg Palast deserves a lot of credit for helping Joe Biden to win the election. He discusses what worked, what didn't, how Trump Can still steal the election and what needs to be done to insure fair January Georgia Senate runoff elections. |
Joe Biden has given a break to tens of millions of students with student loan debt. Republicans are complaining that this is unfair to people who paid their student loans and people who didn't go to college. I have a different take.
Summer Lee is the presumptive new congress member for PA's 4th district. She'll be a new member of the squad and she is taking no prisoners and kicking ass. I grabbed this ten minute. video of her giving the keynote talk at Netroots Nation 22 in Pittsburgh today. She's on fire and offers a new way to deal with the DNC nnd the Democratic Leadership.
I'm on my way to Netroots Nation Pittsburgh. I've been to NRN many times-- because it's a great progressive conference. It's a seven plus hour ride by train to Pittsburgh from Philly. I wrote, talked with fellow passengers and wrote, listening to a lot of music.
The overwhelming Kansas vote protecting abortion suggests that the unethical, partisan Republican SCOTUS justices who lied about Roe V. Wade to get their appointments may have, through their decision, handed Democrats a huge victory in November.that could enable them to make Roe v Wade the law of the land.
Tom Perez, another hack noliberal former DNC chair, has been defeated by Wes Moore. This comes as a surprise to me, but gives me hope.
This could be the most opportune time in modern history for a new third party-- or a take-over of the Democratic party.
Justice Alito argues that Roe V Wade is anti-democratic, because it takes away the right of states to make regulations. This sets an insanely dangerous precedent.
The iconic image of the 9. year old Vietnamese girl changed how the world thinks about war. Now, 50 years later, she calls for the use of such images to stop more killings.
We must do what it takes to get semiautomatic weapons out of the hands of the public-- and we must do whatever it takes. Charlton Heston said that the only we people would take away his guns was from his cold, dead hands. Okay. If you fire at people charged with collecting illegal guns, cold dead hands it will be.
Perhaps the best way Democrats could pull a win out of the 2022 midterm elections would be to persuade Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to both announce that they will not run for election again in 2024. |
These are really crazy times-- the craziest in my life. So I thought it would help to ask some basic questions: What are the questions we need to be asking today? How did we get here. What is here? Wh
Here are some performances with newer artists performing with long-time hit singers with a long history. Some of these performances gave me chills or made tears well in my eyes
This article details the costs of getting dental work in Brazil. It'll take time getting used to having teeth I can feel good about instead of teeth that embarrass me. The big gap between my two upper front teeth my whole life is gone. I've literally inhibited myself from smiling with a toothy smile, even though, since 1980, I've taught smile muscle anatomy and the power of smiling. I should have done this decades ago.
Wow. It's been a while since I wrote a Brazil article and it seems like a lifetime has gone by.
'm learning about life in Brazil. The average income here is about R$1200 a month-- not even $75 a week.
Turning 70 today, I remember more and more often advice from my author friend Jim Donovan on how to stay young.
I love movies that touch my heart and bring tears to my eyes with touching scenes. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things delivers on both accounts.It's no accident it was released on Valentines day, since it's a sweet, touching romance story with an almost unique twist, and it expands on what may be the start of a new genre. It's a take-off on the classic movie, Groundhogs Day
A large manatee was discovered with the word Trump scraped on it. What should the punishment be for such a despicable crime?
We've been doing OEN Zoom sessions since March and they're always a pleasure, with great company and conversation. This one, two weeks ago, including some extraordinary music-- singing and dobro playing by OEN regular, Bill Homans, also known as Watermelon Slim. His first song is Corona Funk.
Times are strange and strained. But here we are having a Covid-19 thanksgiving. Still there are some things to be thankful for. I thought this would be a good place to offer the folks at OEN an opportunity to share what they are are thankful for. |
