Word: Trump and GOP are not engaged in politics

Sam Smith - The major policies of Trump and the contemporary GOP are not based on politics or ideology, but rather on an inhuman, greedy, selfish, prejudiced and cruel attitude towards other Americans. These policies no purpose other than what they perceive to be their own, leaving much of the rest of society as targets and victims.

A truly independent journalist with his feet firmly grounded in the reality of neighborhoods and everyday people. -- Patrick Mazza, Progressive Populist

A truly original voice in American journalism: humorous and plain spoken and filled with common sense -- Jay Walljasper, Utne Reader

Inimitable -- Mother Jones Magazine

Sam's a cynical cat -- Marion Barry

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
