Interview with Jerry Leeman: Today we bring you a story about a handful of fishermen rallying against a billion-dollar green industrial project, shady foreign corporations, and our own federal and state government. All are conspiring to generate a cash cow for...
There are three basic ways for a poorly informed presidential candidate to respond to an unexpected question about anticipated government policy.The least impressive is “Duh.” Another is to attempt evasive redirection of the inquiry to a different subject. The third...
If appropriate and consistent law enforcement is essential to the functioning of our democratic republic, does it make sense to elect a president with an extensive record of prosecutorial laxity?Is it a badge of honor to have overseen the administration of justice in...
Some Americans seem obsessed with the notion of electing a first-of-a-kind leader, perhaps without realizing that the result could be a trifecta. While gender and race are obvious considerations, how about the additional fact that the candidate does not appear to be...
Should we feel sorry for presidential candidate Harris because she has been callously used by her party to win the White House in 2020 and, because of subsequent deceit and misjudgment, now is propelled into a potential leadership role for which she is unqualified and...
Reticence and timidity are not leadership attributes, but self-confidence and communication skills are essential.Major decision-makers as to government policy and practice can never expect unanimous press or popular support when detractors are a permanent feature of a...
What should we think of political parties that must rely on “low-information voters” who pay little or no attention to publicized election platforms? The real “threat to our democracy” is not the President, but same-party control of both chambers of Congress that can...
Has the notion of popularly elected national leadership become a fiction in America? Is the current election-year exercise really a sham? Should one party’s ill-considered presidential running mate decision of four years ago now portend shadow government for the next...
Growing revelations of seriously outdated voter registration rolls in states like Ohio and Texas expose what probably is the greatest risk to legitimacy of the forthcoming national election. All our political parties should at least be able to agree that the concept...
Many people habitually vote for a political party, while others focus on the individual seeking to represent each side. Some merely follow their parents‘ example. Over recent decades, population growth, demographic changes, and differing personal circumstances have...
Aside from convenient talking points about gender and race, does it make any sense to install as President of a prominent world nation a person with no exposure to the domestic private sector, international community, or pertinent executive experience in any previous...
Is the voting public as dysfunctional as our more recent Congresses - or vice versa? A democratic republic implies that the expressed will of the people reflects common-sense review of timely concerns and sound collective judgment as to who and how best to address...
Unless the American public awakens quickly, its nation is on the verge of prospective transformational change. Our precedent-setting example for the rest of the world risks ideological subversion by carefully orchestrated subterfuge. Can an individual more defined by...
Does America still deserve to be called a civilized democratic republic worthy of international respect? Can two vigorously opposing political parties fail even to agree on a demonstrable need to mitigate criminality and associated drug dependency in an election year?...
Have I finally figured it out? Is the strategy of the incumbent party in power to lower the temperature of ideological tensions with other nations by reshaping America more in their autocratic images? Is the problematic California model of governance readily...
The word “weaponize” is in vogue nowadays amid strident controversy over the Second Amendment to the Constitution authorizing the citizenry to bear arms. Among other contexts, it even has been used to characterize the nine “top guns” of the Supreme Court judiciary....
Our civilization is comprised of ideologues and pragmatists, and it can be hard to distinguish which is which on different issues. The problem is complicated by overlays of competition and power between those seeking peaceful coexistence through diplomatic dialogue...
I don’t vote for leaders out of sympathy, rather for their vision, ideas and commitment. We must question why Kamala Harris would suddenly try to distance herself from policies and practices of a suddenly “obsolete” Biden-Harris regime. This strategy casts her in the...
Are we looking forward to potential governance by sophomoric platitudes rather than defensible policies? Superficially appealing declarations that “I want to be President of all Americans,” a pledge to mitigate troublesome inflation by imposing price controls, and...
Treason is defined as “the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or his family.” Is there anything more treasonous than a deliberate political...
The faddish personal pronoun obsession is reaching new heights of absurdity. One political campaign’s current DEI-inspired employment application lists nine choices for selection, including xe/xem, ze/hir, ey/em, fae/faer and hu/hu. What? It further suggests...
