Re the nation’s 250th birthday: the American founders would weep to see what has happened to our republic.

George Washington abhorred self interested, unprincipled, demagogues.

A portion of my interview with the former Archivist of the United States, Colleen Shogan, on presidents and conspiracy mongering — those who succumbed to the temptation to exploit conspiracy theories and those who did not…. Our current president is the reigning champion.

The new ‘60 Minutes’ hire is having a hard time making a distinction between who is good and who is bad. If you’re struggling with this distinction under Trump, then anything you have to say about the current scene is worthless.

A conversation on presidents and conspiracies with Jeffrey Rosen Emeritus CEO of the National Constitution Center and a contributing writer at "The Atlantic." It's always a pleasure to speak to someone who has closely read your work. youtu.be/ljcTO-GFAyM?...

This criminal act of election interference was allowed to go unpunished by the Supreme Court in ‘Trump v. U.S.’ A stain on the rule of law that should forever tarnish the reputation of the Roberts Court.

My 20th year teaching in the Masters in American History and Government program at Ashland University. These educators are engaged in teaching civics and history, and I am truly grateful for their vital work in our nation’s classrooms. Increased civic awareness is essential to saving our republic.

Well worth a read as we approach our 250th birthday. President’s can choose to appeal to our better angels, or they can do what Trump does….

This is U.S. capitulation at Versailles. President Trump is the weakest president in American history. He makes the worst of our presidents look like George Washington in comparison.

My interview on American POTUS. Some American presidents have engaged in reckless conspiracy-mongering about their political opponents in an effort to increase their power and privilege. Our current president, needless to say, stands in a league of his own. americanpotus.org/episode-info...

Fight club matches, Trump passports, engraving Trump’s visage on the nation’s currency, cleansing uncomfortable lessons from the past, does not encourage thoughtful reflection on the meaning of the Declaration of Independence.
