U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly's ruling Monday temporarily blocking a White House ban on transgender individuals from serving in the military prompted right-wing Republican candidate Roy Moore to provide fresh evidence why sensible Alabamians should not allow him to set foot in the U.S. Senate. Moore, a rabid homophobe and champion of the anti-Obama " birther" movement , has called for Kollar-Kotelly's impeachment by the House of Representatives because, in making her ruling, she has "placed herself above the Constitution" with a display of "judicial activism."

The ignition point for today's hyper-politicization may have been then-President Barack Obama's statement to the GOP, in the days after his first inauguration, that "elections have consequences."
Has there ever been a covert action that backfired as disastrously as Russia's attempt to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign? Granted, we know all the reasons Moscow is gloating: Donald Trump is president; America is divided and confused; Russia's propagandization of "fake news" is now repeated by people around the world as evidence that nothing is believable and all information is manipulated and mendacious. But against this cynical strategy there now stands a process embodied by special counsel Robert Mueller, which we will call, as a shorthand: "The Truth."
Virtually unheard of before Monday, when the FBI indicted two of President Trump's campaign staffers, George Papadopoulos is either the key to Russian collusion with the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election - or a lying "low level volunteer," as the president tweeted early Tuesday morning.

The Florida governor whose mantra is jobs, jobs, jobs? Who rode to office on a wave of tea party support and has pushed for limiting government and gutting regulations, including those that protect the environment, in the name of giving business a freer rein?

Ever since Rodrigo Duterte became the 16th President of the Republic of Philippines, the world has watched and read about his unorthodox way of handling situations, at times going above and beyond what one might expect from a head of state. Earlier this month I had the opportunity to hear President Duterte while I was on a business trip to Manila and lucky I had the opportunity to hear him twice in a matter of two days.
