Vulgarians Against Trump – Tax Plans by Trump & Cruz – What If Bernie Spoke to AIPAC and more… – Publisher’s Notes

There is a lot on the WWW we think readers of BC might like. This column is a first try at presenting some items found while looking around on the information super highway.

Donald Trump certainly has adequate exposure, however, now and then an observation comes along by someone who is not a regular contributor to BC we think BC readers would enjoy.

Nationally syndicated political columnist, investigative journalist, award-winning writer, stand-up comic and wedge issue fan, Tina Dupuy has written the followng in a column titled “Vulgarians Against Trump” published by The LA Progressive:

“The Donald talking about his junk nearly nonstop for the last two weeks is like the 10th or 11th thing with him that makes him unqualified for the office he’s seeking.”

Cuba: Hope and Change? is the title of a piece by John Feffer in Foreign Policy In Focus

“Cuba stands at a historic crossroads. Down one path lies strict adherence to the revolutionary legacy of the Castros. Down another path lies a revival of Cuba as a playground of rich moguls and

shadowy criminal types, as it was just before the revolution. Are there any other paths that Cuba can take?”

The Robert Reich blog is always worth a visit. Last week he wrote about the tax plans of Trump and Cruz:

“If either Trump or Cruz is elected president, we could see the largest redistribution in American history from the poor and middle-class of America to the rich.”

Katie Miranda is an illustrator, jewelry designer, and cartoonist living in Portland, OR and we thank Portside for leading us to her illustrations published by Mondoweiss that answered the question:

“What if Bernie Sanders had delivered his speech at AIPAC!?”

Note: On March 21, 2016 the Bernie Sanders campaign released the speech Sanders would have given to AIPAC had the presidential hopeful been allowed to show a pre-recorded message at the pro-Israel lobby’s annual policy conference.

“So when we talk about Israel and Palestinian areas, it is important to understand that today there is a whole lot of suffering among Palestinians and that cannot be ignored. You can’t have good policy that results in peace if you ignore one side.”
