    Uvalde - the followup

    Election 2024

    Trump's chaotic style: may impart to casual observers the impression Trump is less deliberate, less diabolical than he actually is. Trump knows it's a close political race. And patriots including veterans might have seemed a voting block Trump might easily win. Perhaps that explains Trump's...

    Quotable Quotes

    Perhaps relevant: In 2016 the Republican candidate was referred to by last name: "Trump". The Democrat was referred to by first name: "Hillary". Sexism? That would explain it. I suspect it's more practical. We already had one "President Clinton". And the polls predicted we were about to have...

    Election 2024

    It's called "voter suppression". My contempt for this is quite basic. Deliberately applying this level of corruption is tantamount to a confession that their political agenda is so unappealing they know they can't win the election legitimately. So rather than revise their political platform to...

    Election 2024

    That alone is headline news. BUT !! I'm not sure it's the main headline of this issue. It seems Trump has methodically tried to pack the courts so he can avoid consequence for his treachery. And it appears Trump has not ruled out overthrowing United States federal government. Shutting down the...

    Election 2024

    a) I'm not endorsing any of these Republican positions. b) Has the GOP suddenly become the champion of human rights? However, bear in mind the U.S. Republican Party has been hijacked by a charlatan, a convicted felon. Currently on probation? This doesn't reduce the harm of Republican...

    Uvalde - the followup

    There's been recent (current?) controversy about arming teachers. Why not arm students? If as Art. 6 Sect. 2 of the Constitution says, our Constitution is "the supreme law of the land", and the 2nd Amendment says the right to keep & bear arms "shall not be infringed" then why have we usurped...
