Who Is Liz Cheney?

Liz Cheney has become a lightning rod on the right, even though she is very conservative. Because she rejected MAGA and Trumpism, she was defeated in her reelection bid in the deep red Wyoming. Who is she?

Is Tim Scott Trying To Make Black The New Orange?

Tim Scott appears to be looking towards the White House. What Does he think he brings to the table where Donald Trump casts the largest shadow? It doesn’t appear to be a difference in substance. Can he peel off black voters? MAGA doesn’t seem to have those. So, who is Tim Scott?

Who Is Harlan Crow

Lately, we’ve learned that a billionaire collects Nazi memorabilia and bribes Supreme Court Justices. Before Clarence Thomas’ obviously compromised state was made public, I had never heard of Harlan Crow. Here’s what I learned.

Tornadoes And Climate Change

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Governor of Arkansas, is now faced with realities that fly in the face of her inflammatory partisan rhetoric. Her state was ravaged by tornadoes (climate change) and now she’s asking for federal help (socialism). At least the Governor has enough sense to know when to put down empty rhetoric to secure aid for the people of her state. For the uninitiated, here is how climate change impacts tornadoes. PS-it will continue to worsen.

Unprecedented Indictment? Nope

The narrative is shaped by Donald Trump and his supporters is that his indictment is unprecedented and as such illegitimate. There is little pushback on the unprecedented aspect and all the focus on the support of the indictment seems to be on its legitimacy.

Yesterday, we learned that former President Donald Trump will be indicted. The charges appear to revolve around Trump paying hush money to a porn star in order that she remained quiet before an election. This is a campaign finance violation among other things.

CHIPS And Science ACT-What Is It?

While former President Donald Trump is being indicted (or INDICATED in his words), current President Joe Biden has been plugging along, accomplishing things to help the country and getting little ink. Despite Biden’s lack of attention, the list of policy wins is impressive. One, the CHIPS And Science Act has significant positive implications for Americans, yet few seem to even know about it. What is it?

White Supremacy And The Threat To America

In the recent past, it has been easy to assume white supremacy is a fringe idea that may have had prominence in America’s checkered past but is no longer a threat. This perception feels naive now. The days of the Ku Klux Klan marching down Main Street may be over, but now they are hiding in plain sight.
