Is it a big beautiful bill? Last week the Congress passed President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” with only Republicans voting for it. I have reservations about the bill, just because it might raise the national debt, and that is against my feeling of not unloading our debt onto our grandchildren. President Trump made a comment…

Foreign-backed third party litigation! I know nothing about litigation or that of a third-party litigation. Looking it up in the dictionary it states: “take a dispute or claim to court.” My attention was caught by a press release that came across my desk last Friday where the headline stated: “Foreign-Funded Lawsuits Threaten National Security,” and…

More States? Have you ever though about the number of states in the Union that all have representatives in Congress. That is except for the District of Columbia, or Washington D.C., the Capital of the United States and covers about 63 square miles of land. But, the Constitution defines it as being outside of any…

Trump did the right thing! President Donald Trump did the right thing for the country and especially for Los Angeles to bring law and order to the streets of this country’s second largest city with 3.8 million citizens.

The President is right! President Trump is right in his decision to withhold funds from institutions like Harvard. Many people have long criticized institutions of higher learning as being a place where students get indoctrinated instead of educated. On October 7, 2023, Hamas and other groups seized 257 Israel and foreign hostages. Another 1195 were…

All Aboard!  With all the problems that have been plaguing the airlines recently including several crashes, air controller shortage, and computer failure, I might call on my congressman and ask him to inject more federal funds to update the needed equipment.

It’s time to switch! It’s time to switch, that is from your snow blower to the lawn mower, and that is what I did Sunday afternoon. Got the lawn mower out of the storage shed and drove the snow blower into storage, just like many of you have done. I forgot how fast grass grows…
