Analysis and Opinion By Joe America My wife is one of the smartest people I know. She was deprived of a good education as are many here who grew up poor. But she is incredibly smart. I told her that Sara Duterte was leading in the polls for the presidency and she went on a ..read more

Analysis and Opinion By Joe America Senator Hontiveros will be leaving the Senate this year at the end of her second term. She is impeccably and uniquely qualified to build a unified peoples’ coalition. She is respected by the left, the right, and everybody but criminals, dynasts, and China’s spies.

Analysis and Opinion By Joe America I received an interesting criticism of my Left/Liberal coalition idea on Twitter. The writer viewed liberals the same way the American MAGAs in the US do, a pox on society, the root of all our troubles.

Analysis and Opinion By Joe America The right message can win an election. Duterte won by threatening to climb on a jet-ski to oppose China, and promising to end crime and drugs in six months.
