Many people are very concerned about the quality of the candidates running for President of the U.S. in 2016. Remember, Peter and/or Paula Perfect never run for office. All candidates have some flaws. Some more than others. The president is not given a magic wand when elected. He/she must work through the existing agencies and…
America could survive four years of Trump’s insults. America could survive four years of Trump’s incessant stroking of his own bloated, but surprisingly fragile, ego. America could survive four years of his incoherent policies, even as he cozies up with the Russians. And America could probably survive four years of his embrace of an economic…
Where are you, Indiana Republicans? Many of your brethren have had the courage to repudiate That Man yet you say nothing. He is a sociopath, lies compulsively, and shames women. He’s passed off as “locker room talk” an exchange where he brags about kissing and “groping” women and justifies it with his celebrity. He’s apparently paid…
It is onto Charlotte and beyond for the ever burgeoning race industry lead by President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats. They are joined by their associates in the media, the academy, the “civil rights” caucus, and Black Lives Matter, the racist group that promotes cop killing. Indeed, the race business in America is…
This presidential race could be the worst in the history of the United States. We have the two major party candidates, who by all rational measures, should not be on the ballot for any elected office. They are both being driven now by a force known as, “at least (this person) is not (that person).”…
My home is in Bainbridge Township and is affected by the upcoming library referendum along with two other precincts: Jasper-Madison and Jasper-Boone. I visited http://www.duboiscountyassessor.com to find it has a gross assessed value of $122,000. Like most folks that live in their home and have a mortgage, my net assessed value is much less than…
Simply put, government spending does not drive economic development. I can point you to multiple studies by multiple people but at a high level it is a zero sum gain. Government takes from you and spends it on X. Even infrastructure, which is what government does well, does nothing to drive growth in or around…
Elected representatives should be accountable to all people they represent, not institutional forces like lobbyists and special interests. Politicians are often unable to do their job because their only goal is to do whatever it takes to get re-elected and keep their power; not to do what is right for the American people. This doesn’t…
The election is not Trump vs. Clinton. It’s Trump vs. Clinton AND The United States of America. Donald Trump stands against every ideal that America stands for. His dexterous manipulation of fear has resonated, God help us, with tens of millions of Americans. What do they fear? The world is moving too fast for them….
May I suggest voters ask potential elected representatives the following questions, hopefully getting honest personal answers (not party approved answers) before deciding who to vote for: 1. Do you support congressional term limits? If so, what would you propose and are you willing to promise, in writing, to actively support such? 2. Is it true…
