Joe Barton's Peccadilloes Have Been Given a Pass By the Media

There appears to be a double standard in the media when reporting Congressional misbehavior. Remember when Bill Clinton cheated on his wife? Granted, he was president, however, there was a special prosecutor appointed, over $70 million of taxpayer dollars spent, and a Supreme Court case made. How is Barton any different?

Clear Evidence Why Many More Women Should Be In the Highest Positions of Leadership

Another day, another sex scandal, where a man abused his position of power for decades, and sexually assaulted/harassed his women co-workers, while management turned a blind eye. Only the fear of being sued and actually losing brings these crimes into the light of day. The frat-boy mentality that runs amok through our halls of power, whether in the workplace, the churches, the military or in our government is deeply destructive. Yet, oddly, too many don't want a woman in charge, based on the traditional fear she might mess things up (even worse than Trump). We are paying a high price for the myriad of dysfunctional roadblocks put in women's paths to leadership and power. It's time to come out of the race back into the Dark Ages and truly share power with the majority of Americans-women.

Underwriting Purchase of Meredith Corp., Koch Extremists Now Have Huge New Propaganda Outlet

Despite protestations to the contrary by Meredith Corp., whoever has the gold makes the rules. Political extremists have gone far in chipping away at the fourth estate, with the consolidation and corporatization of media, where profits rule. As anyone who knows anything about propaganda understands, when people hear something often enough, they begin to believe it, even when it has no basis in fact. We are also looking at an upcoming monopoly by Sinclair Media, another purveyor of extremist propaganda, as well as the end of Net neutrality. This, along with unlimited dark money in elections, extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression, hacked voting machines, and a militarized police force--the kleptocracy is becoming a very real and very ugly reality in what used to be an inspiring democracy. Too many Americans have been anesthetized and are dozing.

Anyone Notice Franken & Conyers in the Headlines, While Moore & Barton Have Receded?

Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault Are About Power and Not About Sex

Sexual harassment and assault are the ultimate acts of putting women and girls "in their place." Many false rationalizations based on culture and/or religion are used as weapons against victims, but the truth remains. Sexual harassment and assault are all about keeping women subservient. It makes perfect sense that politicians, who often seek office for the power it brings, would be frequent perpetrators.
