President Trump has radically increased the number of U.S. airstrikes overseas.

That should trouble America's voices on the antiwar left and non-interventionist right. Especially since this increase follows up on Obama's own drastic increase in U.S. drone strikes over the Bush administration.

And the Bush administration itself was the subject of intense criticism for drastically increasing the amount of U.S. bombings overseas compared to the Clinton era.

The time for independent leaders to change our political system for the better is here.

Actionable Ways to Establish More Successful Third-Party Campaigns

It's no secret — American voters are fed up. In the 2016 presidential elections, nearly half of all eligible voters did not bother to go to the polls. A good deal of the frustration stems from the fact that Americans are fed up with our current two-party system.

San Diego City Councilman David Alvarez was elected to serve City Council District 8 in 2010.

Since then he's served on a number of committees and ran for mayor in 2013.

Alvarez announced recently that he intends to run for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors representing District 1 in 2020 when Greg Cox is termed out.

Of the United States’ many political problems, one glaring issue is the fact that we have a two-party system representing a wide array of opinions.

It’s a bigger problem than most people think. While independents make up over one-third of US registered voters -- and generally they remain almost entirely unrepresented in Congress -- people within each party disagree wildly.

There are some Alabama voters who are considering writing in a candidate in the upcoming special Senate election. These voters are concerned about multiple allegations that GOP candidate Roy Moore sexually harassed and abused minors when he was a local district attorney.

To wrap our minds around violence in America, we must step back and look at the whole.

Violence has many forms: child neglect and abuse, spouse and partner rage, school bullying, sexual assaults on campus and in the military, violent incidents with law enforcement, harassments and humiliations at work.

It doesn't matter if it is a Democrat or a Republican, ultimately it is the taxpayer who pays for bad behavior on Capitol Hill. US Rep. Jackie Speier says taxpayers have paid out $15 million in harassment settlements over a 20-year period.

The point of electing Centrist Independents is to empower the political center, to build a bridge between Republicans and Democrats, and to get things done.
