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? First, how did President-elect Trump pull off this triumph? He used three levers. Lever number one is publicity. Trump began to seek publicity 50 years ago. His mentor, the mastermind of
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. The Democratic side believes that if Donald Trump wins, it will mean the
Iran and Israel are arranging their pieces on the chessboard before Israel retaliates against Iran’s October 1st attack. In that attack, you remember, Iran assaulted Israel with the biggest number of ballistic missiles in history—200 by Iran’s count, 180 by the Western media’s. On Wednesday, October 9, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had his first
By Howard Bloom Iran has mounted the biggest ballistic missile attack in history. It claims it launched 200 ballistic missiles at Israel Tuesday night, October 1st. 181 appeared in the night skies over Israel.

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. But not Tuesday night. Tuesday night,
By Howard Bloom Education Week reports that we are in a student mental health crisis. So does the surgeon general. Will taking cellphones away from kids while they’re in school help us get out of this crisis? I asked the science search engine Consensus to do a survey of studies on school cellphone bans and mental
By Howard Bloom Anger is on the rise in 2024. Ask ChatGPT or the search engine for scientific studies, Consensus, and they will feed you great gobs of information showing that anger in America is reaching record highs.

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
By Howard Bloom We are waiting for the other shoe to drop while Iran is lining up its ducks. Hamas’ political leader Ismael Haniyeh was assassinated on July 31st, just over a week ago. Iran’s Supreme Leader vowed to “avenge his blood” and said that Iran would hit Israel with a “severe punishment.” The head of
