Sadly, getting Donald Trump out of our lives is likely to be far more difficult an operation than simply voting him down as president in November.

Lauren Griffin, University of Florida The political and social climate in the United States has become increasingly fertile ground for conspiracy th...

The reaction to Clinton's comments is a reflection that in 21st-century America it is considered worse by many to call somebody a racist than to actually be one.

A similarly unpleasant choice now looms before the American electorate--between Donald Trump, the xenophobic, nationalist demagogue, on one side, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the unrepentant militarist, Wall Street shill, and unindicted emailer, on the other.

I find myself afraid of what might follow if Donald Trump actually wins in November, and equally fearful of what might follow if he loses. I recall no such fears in 2012, or in 2008, or even in the tightly-fought presidential election that Al Gore lost to George W. Bush.

Donald Trump's name lends itself to all sorts of mashed-up words, but we find it doesn't really work with the big story of the week. British voters decided to take the so-called "Brexit" (or "British exit") from the European Union.

In the wake of the unspeakable horror in Orlando, we're seeing what hate and fear do to civilization. Fear is what terrorists seek. Anger only breeds ...
