By Ben Weingarten – Real Clear Wire More than a dozen jurisdictions run by Democrats – including Washington D.C., and several adjacent Maryland municipalities – allow noncitizens to vote in some local elections.

“Winning is merely a precursor; what is of most importance is what happens afterward.” In my early years, I voted for a Party’s candidates based on their Platform. Later, in mid-life, I learned that while the Platform should be the Standard of Measure/Quality Assurance document, I had learned through a rude experience to shift my voting focus. … Read more
I hope this will be the last word I write about the character flaws of the Vice President Nominee, Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota. This topic is distracting when we have minimal time to concentrate on the country’s issues and the candidate’s policies. The problem with comparing policies and platforms is that we only … Read more
After more than 50 years, Joe Biden is finally leaving the political scene. It’s something both Republicans and Democrats wanted but for different reasons. Republicans have always seen him as a weak politician without convictions or scruples, compromised by foreign adversaries, and suffering from increasing mental confusion. Democrats certainly saw the same thing but managed … Read more
The last of the Baby Boom generation–the largest generation in American history–will have reached retirement age for maximum Social Security benefits as of the end of 2031.

I have always felt it is difficult to lie. The truth is easy to remember, but when you start to bend the facts, you have to remember your version of reality and who you told what. The Democrats are good at twisting the truth or, as some people would say, lying. The advantage the Democrats … Read more
There is a movement afoot to keep the distraction of cell phones out of classrooms, and it is rare these days of division.

Dwayne Johnson seems like a nice enough guy, and he acts, so that might be all it is, but is he nice enough to give six million dollars back to the US Army? They “hired” him and the United Football League (The Rock is part owner) for 11 million dollars to help the Army increase … Read more
As the UK descends into tyranny, where just re-Tweeting something the government doesn’t like can land a person a multi-year jail sentence, Americans are wondering, “can it happen here?” After all, we have the guarantees of the First Amendment. But while we shake our heads at UK authorities jailing people for their social media posts … Read more
San Francisco has deteriorated steadily under progressive policies that have seeded overdoses, homelessness, an exponential increase in crime, and plummeting housing prices. In the midst of San Fran’s Mad Max despair, innovator Zoox is planning to launch a fleet of shiny EV robotaxis to ferry citizens around the City by the Bay. The contrast between urban decay … Read more
Every State is going to have its share of people who don’t care for the governor, some more than others. Since it’s an election year and the Democrats have anointed one as vice president, focusing on Minnesota seems appropriate. Walz is not popular there, but it is still deep blue Minessota, so any pushback has … Read more
The Kamala Harris coup/campaign would be funny if the stakes were not so serious. Kamala was on the team that gave Joe Biden the boot with 100 days left until Election Day. This takeover of the Biden reelection bid has become so apparent that the Democrats waited until the two-minute warning to change quarterbacks, knowing … Read more
