Nikki Haley’s immoral decision
Nikki Haley is releasing her delegates and “urging them to support” Trump, CNN reported on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 (read story here). This should disqualify her from future consideration for the presidency. Why? I can think of at least four reasons, in addition to those I’ve posted p[...]

Will your kids hate you for loving Trump?
I don’t know, I can’t speak for them, but a Missouri mom wrote that her father’s unblinking Trumpism destroyed their relationship. He was a Navy man, carpenter, guitar player, and “good guy” who liked fast cars. “A hippie in his pot-smoking, hard-rock youth,”[...]
