   It’s beyond sad when the cover of an internationally respected news magazine asks “Is America Dictator Proof” —and no Hank, The Economist article inside was not referring to concerns over Biden or the Democrats.

   Last month the Republican Congress tried to prove Fauci had tried to suppress investigations into the possibility that Sars-CoV-2 came from a China lab. They were defeated when numerous letters and emails were presented showing Fauci stating he wanted and was actively supporting scientists investigating the lab scenario. The Wenstrup Committee quickly dropped the matter.

   What I found most upsetting was the GOP committee members repeatedly saying they could not understand why science changes when there is new data. These supposedly educated people had no clue about the scientific process.

   There were many times in the past where I’ve been proud to be an American and a few times when I was embarrassed to be an American, but the last 7 years have made me feel ashamed.

   Thank you, that was the intent.

   This case is based on whether Trump thought he was paying to violate election campaign funding laws/corporate records (which, although a misdemeanor under NY state law has never been used in NY in a federal election case, much less calling it a felony). For Stormy, this should have been one simple yes or no question, but the prosecutor wanted to embarrass and impugn Trump’s character by being a voyeur in Trump’s bedroom (a mental image no one needs). My hope is the NY jury finds him not guilty, or else appeals on a guilty verdict will push this salacious part of the Trump circus into 2025 and the media will, of course, focus on this Trump story over the legitimate actions against him.

   The only positive for the nation after Trump wins in November (as history tells us he will) is at least the House will have a Democrat majority as a buffer, but the judiciary will be even more extreme far right by 2028 as the Senate goes to 50/50.

   Varvel takes a lot of shots at college grads. Although he attended Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, there’s never a mention that he graduated – he’s not listed as a Herron School of Art and Design alumni. Could all this rancor be sour grades?

   It’s simple to fix. First, remove the sanctions that Trump put on Venezuela that caused the recent surge – okay, Biden did that. Next, get the Latin American countries to completely change their economies and become less state directed and reward larger free enterprise solutions. Third, since low-cost manufacturing (the China miracle) is no longer the route to prosperity, figure out a jobs solutions that provide good wages for the less educated that hasn’t been created yet …wait a minute…maybe it’s not simple.

    Oh please. There are, at times, hundreds of thousands of people that experience temporary homelessness. The reason it is temporary is they find a way to solve this problem and society should spend the money to help them. There is also a core of 150,000+ hardcore homeless that refuse free mental health care, free drug counseling and a free place to sleep if it has rules. This group doesn’t want their “problem” solved.
