ENDURANCE

I look at the calendar and realize that it is just under 110 days until the election in this, the strangest presidential election year I have ever experienced.  Nominating conventions are in limbo.  Campaign speeches and appearances are few and far between, but that is about to change.  Over the next 100 days we can […]

PARTIES

There are two distinct political parties in the United States today.  They are the Republican Party and the Democrat Party.  What each party stands for and works for becomes very fuzzy and hard to distinguish at times.  There was a time in the not too distant past when the differences were very evident and a […]
