    Trump and the Environment

    In this EPA, It would probably be more accurate to say "Top official says the more companies can bring EPA into compliance with their wishes, 'the fewer enforcement actions we need to take'".

    Republicans outpacing Democrats in early voting in key states, NBC News finds

    Thank you for your response. In my opinion, being open to change is a good attitude and may ward off the inevitable mental and physical decline for some period of time, but the decline comes to all of us. Your Dad's attitude that his "life is just how he wants it" is a good one, too, and...

    Republicans outpacing Democrats in early voting in key states, NBC News finds

    Sincere, off-topic questions: What coping issues do you think you might have when/if you reach 82? What may scare you? Have you ever watched a loved one grow old and lose her or his ability to deal with tasks you find simple and easy (not loss of ability due to dementia)? Do you not think it...

    Sorry, "boofing". Damn auto-correct.

    Report: Kavanaugh won’t commit to recusal from Trump/Mueller related matters

    I believe the term used was "booking" which has a more interesting definition.

    Report: Kavanaugh won’t commit to recusal from Trump/Mueller related matters

    The attorney should probably wear a mask during the hearing just to be sure she is safe.

    Not sure if this has been posted or if this is the best place to put this since it relates to elections further in the future than '17 and '18, but the trending demographics carry with them some serious issues about how the U.S. will be governed...

    Voter ID laws would have prevented 31 cases from 1 BILLION votes

    Thank you for the information; it's much appreciated and educational. I just wanted to correct a misreading of the posted article and subsequent post that implied the suit had been withdrawn and the almost immediate, but unnecessary, leap to a position of outrage.

    I'm not an attorney, so I cannot explain the legal difference between "withdrawing a suit" and "withdrawing a claim"; however, from reading the article I gather the suit has not been withdrawn and is still going forward, just without the Obama Justice Department's claim and support of the...

    Role of the Media

    Not having seen the panel discussion, I suppose the discussion may have been good and maybe it did delve more deeply into the "rigged elections" issue, but color me skeptical when I guess that the panel didn't really do that. Allowing panelists to make comments like "voter fraud is a major...

    Role of the Media

    I'm generally in your camp of "just report the news" but I have to admit while I was waiting for a plane a couple weeks ago and saw "CNN Breaking News: Trump says only way he loses is if election is rigged," I rethought my position a little bit. Especially when people around me started having...
