Why doesn’t Nancy Pelosi have Secret Service protection?
One of the things I don’t understand is why Nancy Pelosi — the #3 in succession after the President and Vice President — doesn’t have secret service protection. Like, why does Ivanka Trump have secret service protection, but not Nancy … Continue reading

What are we rewarding Republicans for in the midterms?
As we approach the midterms, the question arises, what are we rewarding the Republicans for? I mean, so far they have only done three things: And what is their solution to inflation? Tax cuts and “trickle down” economics. BTW, if … Continue reading

Political advertising is too much on both sides of the political spectrum
I’ve come to the point that I’m no longer giving money to political campaigns. It’s too much. Both sides have too much money. I live in Central Massachusetts and tend to watch Boton-area television. And we are just saturated with … Continue reading

What did these people ever do to you that they’re still persecuted 2000 years later?

Yes on Question #1
As a service to my readers in Massachusetts, I semi-annually provide an analysis of the ballot questions that will be decided in the upcoming November primary. Massachusetts has a complicated process related to initiatives and referendums, which is actually governed … Continue reading
What do people think Republicans are going to do about Inflation?
I hear that inflation is at the top of many voters’ minds, and that a large number of them are planning to vote Republican because of inflation. Why? What do they think Republicans are going to do about inflation? Republicans … Continue reading

Why do Republicans want to be asleep instead of woke?
I’m not quite sure why Republicans are trying so hard to make “woke” into a bad word, something to avoid. Being woke means that you are awake. The opposite of awake is asleep. So Republicans all want to be asleep? … Continue reading
