Not about the reporting of this particular story, but about your definition of the "media, I'm curious. Fox news counts as a "mass media" outlet, does it not? They have a big audience and millions get their news from Fox. You mention liberal news sources but leave Fox off your list. In your...

Pence Says, Trump Says, ATeam Says Pence: "There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, I possessed unilateral authority to reject Electoral College votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to ‘overturn...

I don't think it will matter much if they read it or not. The Omicron peak is barely behind us. The COVID-19 new case count reached astounding levels compared to previous peaks. If any lockdowns happened in the most-recent wave, they were little reported. It seems political leaders nationwide...

Former Vice President Mike Pence said this today: "There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, I possessed unilateral authority to reject Electoral College votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to...

Discerning someone's motivation and intent may not be a great feat, but it does require skill and applied effort. Every day people join our gym saying they are doing so because they want to lose weight. On the surface, their intent is to lose weight. But our staff is trained to learn the...

Regarding the effectiveness and impacts of shutdowns, it's wise to keep in mind the difference in perspective we have now, looking back on things, and in January, 2019, when COVID-19 was something completely new and deeply troublesome to many. In the early days of COVID-19, there were no...

It's like a dam is bursting. The first bit of water that makes it through makes it easier for more to come. That greater volume makes it easier for still more to come. And so it goes until all hope is lost and the dam utterly fails. First a few witnesses, then hundreds. First few documents...

It can also be credibly argued that these two governors pushed policies that killed a number of people who did not need to die.

New Zealand is an island, easy to isolate in ways impossible in the U.S. Yes, in theory, lockdowns can work. but as a practical matter in the U.S. they will never work because too few people will comply.

None of this is cut and dry. Some of what Trump said was correct and some was incorrect. So too with DeSantis. I do agree with the statement that COVID-19 did not crush the economy, government crushed the economy. It's also worth noting that the prominent experts are not talking shutdowns any...

This article provides good food for thought. It raises two important questions: 1. "One of the great mysteries that has emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic — and one that’s still being investigated by infectious disease specialists — is why some people catch Covid and others don’t, even when...

I saw this first hand when Gov. DeSantis locked down our state. While businesses shut down as ordered, all of them did not so a fair amount of human activity continued. The people who were ordered to stay at home and keep their distance did not do so in large enough numbers to make the lockdown...

Yours is a valid concern, especially given the Republican overt and unapologetic voter suppression efforts now underway.

Your points are valid. But note that you cannot request an absentee ballot if you are not already a registered voter. It's not just the signature that is verified. Your status as a voter and your address is also verified before the ballot is even sent.

When I saw that headline scroll across one of our gym TVs today I was greatly relieved. Some time ago, I happened to look at Black Lives Matter, the organization, in response to a post or story I saw. I concluded then they were a CA-based, wack-a-doodle group that was somehow trying to address...

If the people who did the harvesting talk, that would be the way to find out. They can say if they harvested ballots for all candidates in general, simply to support people's ability to get their ballots in (still an illegal act in GA), or if they gathered ballots only from voters known to...

Florida's absentee/early voting ballot process seems as good as they come and reliable. I see no reason why a properly identified citizen should have to work hard to cast a proper vote when the vote can be more-easily cast instead. It is in the interests of democracy to make it easy for people...

I don't know. Information about this investigation is not thoroughly reported so far. Those making the accusations seem to think the harvested ballots in question were for Biden. But the fact is, we simply don't know what exactly is being investigated and what the findings are or may turn out to...

I'm not talking about a particular set of screenshots. I'm talking about your habit of posting screen-shot excerpts that present only part of whatever story you are referencing at the time. Recent links you have posted are much better and much appreciated.

Which is why the matter is being investigated, as it should be.
