Do you really believe that? Of course I'm not for having ANY book accessible to kids at school at any age. Out of schools and in schools, there are laws about what kind of content is available to kids of certain ages. Laws about explicit adult content are an example. But notice what's going on...

The whole notion of banning books is repugnant. This is America, a free country, right?

Additionally, the same judge denied executive privilege regarding: former White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino former national security advisor Robert O’Brien former senior aide Stephen Miller former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe former deputy Homeland Security...

Why is this bill necessary? Is that information not already commonly published online by schood districts where anyone can view it? Are public school budgets not already items of public record? Do privacy laws not already exist and are schools not already following them? I don't know current...

Trump's Evaporating Privilege Protections I don't keep an item-by-item scoresheet of Trump's court battles. Recent events leave me wondering this. Trump has made numerous claims regarding attorney client privilege and executive privilege. Have ANY of them been upheld when challenged in court...

How many times have you recently attended a school board meeting to speak out on an issue of importance to you? How much money have you contributed to local candidates? How many political meetings have you attended in the last year? How many city council meetings have you attended in the last...

Correct. It's not a sure bet. Senate races are statewide so the districts cannot be gerrymandered in the GOP's favor; and the Supreme Court anti-abortion ruling has already proven to be a motivator that gets non-Republicans out of their seats and to the polls. Or they do see it and look forward...

In his "clarifying statement" (a/k/a flip-flop) DeSantis branded Putin a war criminal today. https://nypost.com/2023/03/22/desantis-brands-putin-a-war-criminal-who-should-be-held-accountable-for-ukraine-invasion/

That may be, but in 2020, Biden beat Trump. In current polls, Biden beats Trump. Biden may be weak. Trump is weaker.

What about DeSantis's anti-woke agenda which he is promoting with great vigor? Why is that not helping him among conservatives? Why is that not boosting his poll numbers against Trump?

Having thought more about this, I offer the following THEORY. It's not something I believe. It's one possible explanation among many. I offer it for the purposes of conversation. DeSantis is fading in the polls because Trump's vicious attacks of DeSantis have been effective, and DeSantis's...

Except for the sympathy factor you mention, all of the factors you list were factors when DeSantis was higher in the polls. So maybe that's it; the sympathy factor. If so, it's in Trump's best interest to get charged with multiple crimes in multiple jurisdictions. As crazy as that sounds, it...

Yes it has been a number of years (7, not 8). Yes, they are just now expected to press charges. Yes, no federal charges on this matter have been filed by federal prosecutors. And, yes, if an indictment is issued by the grand jury and charges are filed by the Manhattan DA, Trump will have to...

A Genuine Surprise The recent decline for DeSantis in the polls is a genuine surprise to me. While I'm rooting for Trump to win the Republican nomination, I thought DeSantis would be above Trump in the polls at this point or at least closer than he is now. DeSantis has been more active doing...

Yes, it is perfectly fine to use the statute of limitations argument ... if the statute of limitations actually applies. But in this case, it does not yet apply. It could apply at a later date, but it does not apply now. And if charges are brought before the statute of limitations expires, the...

Your ability to twist logic is highly refined.

We'll find out for sure if charges are actually filed. If it is actually past the statute of limitations, you can count on the Trump team to raise that point with the court. And no court in the land would permit such a charge, if in fact it was outside the statute of limitations. So, for now...

Both of your points are correct. There are indeed people out there who consider Trump to be a great evil being. And southern border security is unacceptably lax.

Is This the Protest Trump Had in Mind? FOX News: "Former President Donald Trump's supporters are far outnumbered in New York City ahead of his potential arrest Wednesday, despite the Republican's call for his voters to "PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST." "Demonstrators cheering on the potential...

Yes, it does indeed seem that any hush money case Bragg brings against Trump will include Cohen as a key witness. And yes, Cohen's credibility will certainly be questioned by the Trump lawyers if that happens. But I'm not so sure about "that strategy may be blown up." Until the expected case is...
