No, and Neither Should Non-Members of Congress! I am deeply concerned about the allegations that various Members of Congress might have traded on their stock portfolios after meeting with the President about the coronavirus pandemic. It is a political crime if proven; would be a good reason to vote for an opponent. Maybe also even […]

I can tell you this early afternoon that I was wondering if the President or others had read the blog; I started to write an article several months ago when this impasse started saying in effect if John Bolton and President Trump played the law card they might get Maduro […]

Ashbrook ran in the early 1972 primaries against a sitting President of his own party! Not too many people remember Representative John Ashbrook of Ohio.

Climate change is NOT the issue – it’s the proposed solutions: World Government. Loss of Liberty!

The General Assembly CAN undo this error! When I “ran” for judge this legislative cycle, I tried to defend the Virginia system and usually paraphrased the Churchill aphorism about democracy is the worst form of government until you consider the alternatives. The present system at least lets you get your foot in the door but […]

Gabbard’s anti-war, anti-intervention message is the reason I have said several times at this blog that it is politically unethical to interfere in the other party’s primary to elect the weakest candidate (That means Republicans should stay out and not vote for Bernie Sanders!)
