The Race is On

 The race  between MAGA Republicans and Democrat progressives is on.  Who will win? Trump has transformed the Republican Party.  Most Republicans appear to support his bold plan to transform America.  He hopes to revive American industries and create an economic golden age.  He plans to achieve this by the application of tariffs, deregulation, and lower […]

Dead Horse?

There’s an old saying, “No sense in beating a dead horse.” True, but perhaps the horse is not entirely dead. On several occasions I have witnessed a Democrat legislator browbeating a Republican witness or testator by asking “Who won the 2020 election.”   The obvious intent is to force the Republican to admit that Biden won […]

Who is the Liar?

This morning I was listening to one of my favorite classical music stations.  Unfortunately, it receives funding from NPR, so listeners are occasionally subjected to public radio’s biased news coverage.  As I listened, the NPR reporter said that former President Trump was concerned about possible cheating in the coming election, and, if elected, he promises […]

Voter Supression

The Democrats often accuse the Republicans of voter suppression.  Senator Schumer makes these charges as he pushes HR1 (The For the People Act) to give the Federal government greater control over the electoral process.  The danger of further concentration of power in Washington, D.C. is frightening to me.  Is this act needed to protect voter’s […]

Term Limits

We need term limits for our representatives and senators!  We need them yesterday! The present system is broken.  Once elected, a person elected to the United State House of Representatives must immediately begin working on reelection.  The reelection campaign will start less than a year after the representative takes office; and to be reelected, he […]

Help Me Understand

There are many things I cannot understand.  Much of my confusion relates to the nation’s current political divisions. I believe that the election results in several critical states need to be verified.  On the other hand, there are prominent people whom I respect who seem to think that the whole exercise is much ado about […]

Reform or Repression?

In recent days there has been much furor over the new Georgia election laws.  The Democrats cry voter suppression, and there are calls for a boycott against the state of Georgia, its people, and the companies headquartered there. The usual liberal coalition is arrayed against Georgia.   Answering the call, major league baseball has decided to […]

Elections: Electoral Districts

To many of you, the following information will appear rather elementary; but there are others, just as intelligent, who are ill-informed about these things.  This is for you. During the recent election, in addition to choosing a President, Vice President, and a third of our senators, we also elected or reelected all members of the […]

Voting

Today I voted by means of an absentee ballot. I favor giving every adult citizen (excepting convicted felons) the right and the opportunity to cast a ballot. 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 […]

Political Turmoil

Much of the following is a repeat of things I have written before, but I feel impelled to write them again.  These are perilous times for America, and it is the time for decision. The nation has been in a state of political turmoil since the day Donald Trump was elected President.  Many people blame […]
