Letter to the President

I suppose that many people write to President Trump with words of advice and encouragement.  They realize how much the coming election could affect their lives and livelihood, and they watch the news with a sense of trepidation. Many members of the news media hate our President and actively seek to tear him down.  They […]

Court Packing

Prominent Democrat Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois recently responded to reporters’ questions about statements from some members of his party that they would “pack the courts” should the Republicans succeed in confirming Amy Barrett as a Supreme Court justice.  Durbin said that the Republicans had been packing the courts for years. Durbin’s statement was deliberately […]

Reparations

I enthusiastically endorse voter education efforts Polling places should be readily available, and the process of voting should be made as easy as practicable without threat to the […]

Trump’s Taxes

The Trump hating New York Times has published an article claiming that Trump paid no federal taxes in 11 of the 18 years reviewed by the newspaper, and only paid $750 of personal taxes in 2016 and 2017. I do not trust the Times.  Perhaps the reporting is accurate, perhaps it is not.  For the sake […]
