BOWMAN: The Core Is Public Service

Tue, 2025-10-07 14:00 +0000

Today’s America is partially due to a Congress that has yet to be acquainted with accountability.  And it’s not a recent ailment since this predates our grandparents.  In fact, the only bright spark was during the fifties when sessions of the House Un-American Activities Committee, HUAC, were held.  Since then, selected candidates have been of ...

Cardello: Length of Shutdown May Hinge on Definition of American

Mon, 2025-10-06 18:00 +0000

Government shutdowns are not frequent events, which is great for Congress, because they serve as Exhibit #1 for how childish both sides can be.

Sun, 2025-10-05 21:00 +0000

While we continue to rant about the Dems holding Democrat civil servants hostage in exchange for “health care for illegals,” it turns out there are several other priorities in play.
