How the Middle East could cost Harris the election
Grossly simplified, the Middle East conflict boils down to two peoples living in the same space. As you know, the latest stage of the conflict began Oct. 7, 2023, when Palestinian terrorists from Gaza invaded Israel, massacred over 1,100 people, and took about 250 hostages.

Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), passed over by Trump when he chose his 2024 running mate, is defending Trump’s latest election rant. On Saturday, September 7, 2024, Trump posted this on his social media platform: “WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of th[...]
Untangling the Arlington Cemetery controversy

Should restaurant service fees be illegal?
I’m against government micromanaging the economy, but I’m for government protecting consumers from deceptive business practices. Restaurants are struggling with higher costs, but are afraid that raising menu prices will drive away customers, so they’re passing those costs through ([...]
