I am afraid I have been wrong all along. The president of the United States did break a huge law. Everyone should have seen this a long time ago. As a matter of fact, this law was broken way back in 2016. It happened right in front of our eyes. The big law the president […]

Concerning the earthquakes in Puerto Rico — retired U.S. Navy ships should be refurbished as hotels for the stranded people whose lives are at risk. Ships on the ocean would be better than tent cities that leave people exposed to the elements. That is no way to live normal lives. People seeking to live along […]

I was impressed with the way commissioners appeared to really be listening to members of the public as […]

President Donald J. Trump was impeached. He cannot get that removed from history by lying, scamming, cheating, bullying, name-calling, blaming, tweeting or buying his way out. The two articles of impeachment has gone to the Senate for step two of the constitutional process — the “impeachment trial.” There was no trial in the House of […]
