We can do better, and we have to do better. We continue to put people into positions of authority or elect people to public office that are not qualified to perform their jobs.

The Mixed Signals Are Getting More Twisted
Rising gas prices are good, as is low weekly job creation. The President thinks that both indicators are favorable signs that his economic policies are working to recover the economy.

Canceling Loans Means Taxpayers Foot the Bill
The shame of the situation is that proponents of a bill to cancel or forgive outstanding student loans do not understand the process. Or worse, they know and are comfortable with someone else paying their debt. Either situation is disappointing and indicative of a generation weaned on entitlements.
Regaining Congress Cannot be About Investigations

American Politics Seems to Have No Redeeming Factors.
The modern self-appointed progressive faction of the country’s political class has totally embraced Nazist ideologies. This so-called Democrat party is not democratic. Although the Democrat party members talk about democracy, typically in a way that seeks to provoke support through instilling fear, they do not practice what they preach. Actually, it seems the Democrat party … Read more
