By Howard Bloom On Monday April 14, 2025, the peer-reviewed sociology journal Socius published an article called “Breaking Free of the Iron Cage,” a striking title. Why was Breaking Free of the Iron Cage so arresting that even the lofty physics outlet Phys.org gave it space? StudyFinds, an outlet that sums up the latest eye-catching scientific research, said
By Howard Bloom Cory Booker, during his 25-hour record-breaking Senate speech Monday night March 31st to Tuesday night April 1st described the current state of America as a “crisis” and emphasized that “these are not normal times in America, and they should not be treated as such.” Booker’s statement was dismissed as pathetic whining by MAGA cheerleader Sean Hannity.

By Howard Bloom It all started at 2 am Tuesday morning, March 18th. Israel broke the ceasefire. War planes filled the Gaza sky. Bombs were dropped. Thirty-five airstrikes were made.

We Are Sitting On The Edge Of A Volcano By Howard Bloom Why are Americans uneasy?

By Howard Bloom MIT physicist and cosmologist Max Tegmark says in his book Our Mathematical Universe that math is the universe.

Even to a Democrat like me, Donald Trump’s first ten days in office were mind-blasting. President Trump issued over 100 executive orders, proclamations, and memoranda in just his first week in office. Joe Biden had signed 15 executive orders in his first day. Trump signed 26. Then Trump just kept signing. He broke records and hired 1,300 new
By Howard Bloom CNN says The Washington Post just laid off 100 people. In reality, it’s worse than that. The Post has signed 240 people to voluntary separation agreements.

By Howard Bloom How you feel about America’s hopes for 2025 depends on the party you belong to. That’s the bottom line of four polls on Americans’ expectations for the coming year, polls from Gallup, Reuters, AP-NORC, and CBS News.

By Howard Bloom Things are not going well for the government of Iran or for its people. Its proxy armies are in shambles. In Gaza, Hamas is a mere shadow of its earlier self. Its men are hiding wherever they can find the biggest crowd of civilians to use as human shields. And in Lebanon, Hezbollah

By Howard Bloom Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election. In a landslide. How did he do it? And what will it mean to the country?

By Howard Bloom The headlines say that as of October 30th’s polls, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are running neck and neck. But is that true? In FiveThirtyEight’s Recent Polling Average Update, which pulls together roughly a hundred national and state polls, Harris leads Trump, even though her edge is a slender 1.8%. In the Cook Political
By Howard Bloom This is the most abnormal election of your lifetime and mine. At this moment, a mere eleven days before we go to the polls, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are running neck and neck. A Wall Street Journal poll issued Wednesday night, October 23, says Trump is leading by two percent. In England,
By Howard Bloom Why are people so upset these days? The answer is simple. Politics. The political climate in this country is more extreme than at any time since the days of demagogue Huey Long in 1936 and of segregationist George Wallace in 1968.

By Howard Bloom Joe Biden’s nightmare of a wider war in the Middle East is coming to pass. But the war is not widening because of Israel. It is widening because of Iran. On October 7th, 2024, Hamas broke a cease-fire deal and started the Gaza war with the rape, torture, and slaughter of 1,200 Israeli civilians.
By Howard Bloom Tuesday the world was shocked by one of the strangest war stories of the century. Between 2,800 and 4,000 pagers went off in the hands or pockets of Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon as the fighters went about their daily lives. Yes, pagers, old fashioned pagers, exploded. In fact, pagers blew up from
By Howard Bloom Tuesday’s debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris was not a battle of words, it was a battle of body language. The facial language and the body language of Harris signaled strength, confidence, and authority. Those are usually the facial and body language signals we get from Donald Trump.

By Howard Bloom In January, eight months ago, Nikki Haley said, ‘The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the one who wins this election.’ Nikki Haley may be right. The Democratic National Convention that took place at the United Center in Chicago the week of August 19th demonstrated something no
By Howard Bloom Australia has us beat. When it comes to how long you can expect to live, you’d expect America to come out on top. Far from it. In a new study of life-expectancy in six English-speaking countries, America does not come in first, second, or even third. We come in last. Dead last. The new study, which
