Jamie Raskin Is Proof Of DC Insanity

June 6, 2023 Ray Cardello

I have never been a fan of Jamie Raskin. I have always thought that Raskin is second only to Adam Schiff as the most obnoxious and out-of-touch member of Congress. He is a person who loves the camera, even with his current bout with cancer and a different fashionable head cover daily.

Yet Another Example of How Written Constitutions Don’t Enforce Themselves

June 6, 2023 Op-Ed

Constitutions don’t enforce themselves. That’s why James Madison called them “parchment barriers.” While there are plenty of examples of this at the federal level, it’s worth looking at a situation at the state level that perhaps demonstrates this even more so.

Republicans Fiscally Irresponsible Act

The political and financial class breathed a sigh of relief when Congress passed the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.

We Do Not Need Comfortable, We Need Strength

June 6, 2023 Ray Cardello

Lesson From A King

June 5, 2023 Steve Earle

Democrats, the Party of the disadvantaged? When did that happen – if ever? I look at our nation now and fail to see any changes other than the messages of that Party.
