The dumbing down of America…
As I’ve said many times, we get the government we elect. Thus is the case with New York’s 14th Congressional District and the election of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Now I’m sure we can all agree there are those walking the halls … Continue reading

The midterms didn’t disappoint in terms of turnout, but the “blue wave” apparently smacked right into the Senate sea wall. Democrats did wrestle control of the House away from Republicans as expected though and that does present some issues for … Continue reading
