Site Introduction

Welcome to stevenjonaspolitics.com (SJP).  I have been writing on politics, in one form or another, since childhood.  The purpose of this site is to provide a site-in-the-cloud for the archives of the political columns that I have published on-line since 2004. It is organized around the principal webmagazines on which my columns have been published since then.  The first of them was The Political Junkies, for which the Editor/Publisher was Stephen Gheen of North Carolina.  I published just over 200 columns on that site from 2004 to 2008, when it ceased publication.   Next came Buzzflash.com (original version), for which the Editor/Publisher was Mark Karlin. I started posting columns on that site in 2006.  I would continue doing so, with a total of over 300 columns, until it ceased publication in 2015.  Mark revived BuzzFlash in 2019, and I have been publishing on its new iteration, at https://buzzflash.com/, since then.  On The Greanville Post, Editor/Publisher Patrice Greanville, approximately 190 columns of mine were published between 2010 and 2018.

My primary locus for publication at this time is OpEdNews.com, on which I began publishing columns, both original and republications from other sites, in 2010.  The total has just crested 400.  (Presently on this site only those published since 2017 will be reproduced.  Over time, I will be gradually posting the columns that were published before then.)   On occasion, columns of mine from various sources are republished on Reader Supported News/Writing for Godot and From The G-Man.  They will not be reproduced here.  Going back many years now, some columns of mine originally published on the websites above have also been republished on The Planetary Movement, Editor/Publisher Michael Carmichael.  Its publication is currently suspended.  When it re-opens, I will be its Editor/Publisher.

Also here at the bottom of the site’s Home Page you will find links to basic biographical information about me and my major career highlights; a description of my most recent book on politics, The 15% Solution: How the Republican Religious Right Took Control of the U.S. 1981-2022 – A Futuristic Novel (3rd version, 2013); and contact information as well.
