We are now seeing what happens when we elect Senators and Representatives whose entire allegiance is to their tribe and its leadership rather than the people they are elected to serve. True, the negative consequences of what Continue reading "Politicization Matters" ## [Rich Man, Richer Man..](https://sheilakennedy.net/2026/08/rich-man-richer-man/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rich-man-richer-man) _2026-08-26 · Sheila · Sheila Kennedy_ August 26, 2026One of the most trenchant commentators on America’s current disaster of an administration is former Labor Secretary Robert Reich.

Perhaps the most dishonest is the equation of Right and Left “extremism.” Recently, Talking Points Memo addressed that dishonesty with a column detailing just what is labeled “extreme” on both sides Continue reading "Who’s The Extremist?" ## [America’s Brownshirts](https://sheilakennedy.net/2026/08/americas-brownshirts/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=americas-brownshirts) _2026-08-22 · Sheila · Sheila Kennedy_ August 22, 2026 A rising chorus of critics–academics, politicians and media figures–have compared ICE to Hitler’s Brownshirts, the Stormtroopers who were an early paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. Those comparisons have rested primarily upon five elements: concealed identities, intimidating street “theater” meant to be witnessed, “disappearance” tactics, confusion of law enforcement with state… ## [An Upcoming Presentation](https://sheilakennedy.net/2026/08/an-upcoming-presentation/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=an-upcoming-presentation) _2026-08-21 · Sheila · Sheila Kennedy_ August 21, 2026On September 19th, I will participate in a program sponsored by the Fort Wayne chapter of Citizens United for Separation of Church and State.

But for sheer chutzpah (look it up), Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito really can’t be outdone.

Not the big, well-reported activities of our lawless, corrupt administration, but the things that administration is doing that don’t get much–if any–attention.

One is Jim Banks, an ultra-MAGA Christian nationalist slavishly devoted to Trump– an ideologue beyond the reach of law or logic.
