2 weeks ago | salemnews.com | Carl Gustin

Column: Chief Justice Roberts sends Trump a message: Don’t poke a bear

1 month ago | salemnews.com | Carl Gustin

Donald Trump is a tough guy, so tough he has emasculated Republican Party leadership, as well as some prominent corporate leaders. Mainstream news media and higher education are in the crosshairs. Veterans are among those being hit hardest. kAmxE >2J 36 FA E@ E96 ;F5:4:2CJ — 2=D@ :?4C62D:?8=J F?56C 2EE24< — E@ AC@E64E 56>@4C24J 7C@> E96 :>AF=D:G6[ :?DE:?4E\5C:G6?[ H2?E\E@\36 2FE@4C2E !C6D:56?E s@?2=5 y] %CF>A]k^Am kAmu@C 96=A[ 5@?’E 4@F?E @?

Commentary: With Putin, don’t trust and always verify

1 month ago | gloucestertimes.com | Carl Gustin

Ronald Reagan frequently used the phrase “trust but verify,” a Russian proverb he adopted when talking about relations with the Soviet Union. Russian President Vladimir Putin gives every reason for President Donald Trump and US allies to “never trust and always verify.”Talking is important, but Russia’s past actions are significant as are facts surrounding the roles of the US and its allies in Ukraine.

Among North Shore nonprofits, the Trump Administration strategy of “slash now, fix later” has raised serious questions about future funding for critical programs, such as Head Start, SNAP (food stamps), and fuel assistance, which are national programs that reach into every state. kAmu@C 564256D[ E96 }@CE9 $9@C6 ?@?AC@7:ED D6CG:?8 >@C6 E92? 2 5@K6? 4@>>F?:E:6D 92G6 AC@G:565 D@4:2= D6CG:46D E@ =@H\:?4@>6[ 2?5 :?

Commentary: Fast and furious: WSJ responds to Trump’s first two weeks

2 months ago | gloucestertimes.com | Carl Gustin

In his inaugural speech this year President Donald J. Trump said, “National unity is now returning to America, and confidence and pride is soaring like never before.” It was a throwaway line. It’s only been a little over two weeks, but since day one the Trump fire hose has spewed torrents of “news,” clearly following Steve Bannon’s 2016 strategy to “flood the field with shit.” The term “shock and awe” is overused, but sadly appropriate.
Commentary: The right to vote is precious. It should not be abused.

Jan 22, 2025 | gloucestertimes.com | Carl Gustin

A petition circulated last year asking if Gloucester voters wanted to vote on “3A” was an abuse of the right to vote. Misinformation and no information put the city and its citizens in a precarious position. According to the Gloucester Daily Times, the City Council was told by petition proponent Tracy O’Neill in early December “There was no misrepresentation … We never misrepresented ourselves.

Carter addressed energy and economic challenges with a wide-ranging, all-of-the-above strategy focused on reducing dependence on foreign oil and increasing domestic production. In one form or another his policies are in play today.
