Differences between the two events aside, it remains a pathetic, bad-faith play for Texas Democrats to flee the state to stop their own legislative body from doing its work. If they cannot secure the seats or votes to win on a bill, their job is to graciously lose and try harder next time; not...

The same system that allowed lunatic-fringe Democrats to rise in the party is in the Republican Party. Delegates become delegates at seemingly unimportant, backwater party meetings. They then vote at local and state conventions to endorse candidates, elect party leaders and set party policy...

I don't like her or her policies. I think she does the Democratic Party and the country more harm than good. But it is a mistake to write AOC off as an "air head." As a politician, she is brilliant. As a newcomer, she defeated a 10-term incumbent by 15 points, shocking the political...

The methods are dissimilar in that one was violent and the other was not. But the intent of both were identical; to stop an official proceeding of a legislative body.

That's why it's more important than ever for us older folks to figure out how to get along. We need to figure it out and teach the children so they won't have to deal with the mess we created.

LDB has a point. If it's wrong for people to try to stop Congress from meeting to certify the Electoral College vote, is it also wrong for state representatives to flee their state so a quorum is denied and the state legislature can therefore not conduct business?

As the current COVID-19 wave recedes, and time passes from the day COVID-19 first appeared in the U.S., we're able to look back on the numbers, the virus's behavior, our responses, and our results with increasing clarity. Below is a link to a fascinating article that compares Florida's COVID-19...

Refinancing Trump's massive loans got harder when Trump's former accounting firm fired him and said the Trump Organization's financial statements of the last 10 years are unreliable. Some say Trump will turn to foreign interests to get the needed refinancing when the loans come due. With Russian...

Yet another one of Trump's "best people" speaks out.

It seems Trump's insistence on keeping 2020 front-and-center is inducing an increasing Republican willingness to leave Trump behind. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/are-signs-republicans-want-move-2020-trump-may-not-allow-rcna17818

I'm not speaking to you specifically but to the audience in general. It pains (distresses) me to see so many people in politics literally hate the other side because I know how harmful that can be; to people's individual health, and to the country overall. I am not immune form this but I...

With seven years of study and practical application helping people and striving myself to achieve fitness goals, I have come to know a bit about stress and its effects on the body and brain. I claim no knowledge on this topic beyond what is stated above, but I am confident in saying the kind of...

While three are several things that prompt me to rise and/or act in opposition, I can't think of a single person, idea or thing that warrants despising. Despising something releases stress hormones into your bloodstream. Those kid of stress hormones are harmful. Why do that to yourself if you...

We can't afford to do that. Despising anything eats at you from the inside out. Political philosophies exist not on their own but only in the hearts and minds of the people who adhere to them. It is a very small step from despising conservationism to despising conservatives. Doing that only...

There are a bunch of people who like to oversimplify the credit and blame game by using gas prices for a given period to make their points. I think a rational, objective look at the relationship between gas prices and presidents shows that there is a lot more to gas pricing than who happens to...

Further evidence that Trump's star is fading. https://mycbs4.com/newsletter-daily/ron-desantis-donald-trump-gop-florida-poll-presidential-nominee-2024-republican-joe-bide-n-governor-charlie-crist-nikki-fried-annette-taddeo-david-nelson-freeman

For people who placed high hopes in the Manhattan DA's investigation and prosecution of Trump, this is very bad news. While details of the resignations remain murky, the resignations are a fact. They happened. Trump is likely thrilled...

It remains true that tech can be fixed, and it appears Truth Social has much to fix. "'The basic thing they needed to actually get right to get someone in the door, they couldn't get right," said Bill Fitzgerald, a privacy researcher. The "ineptitude of the rollout," he added, could be a...

No surprise. I fully expect Truth Social to be one of the most closely regulated and highly censored speech sites on the internet. If someone posted a "Truth" saying, "Donald Trump is too old to run again for president. We need to look to the future and embrace younger and stronger DeSantis,"...

I'm not going to write off Truth Social in advance. While it's been fraught with delays so far, the present mechanism is at least viable enough to function in a limited fashion in Apple's App Store. No longer delay-ridden, it is now glitch ridden (buggy registration process, long wait lists and...
