Words Have Meaning
Short-ish rant, this week. I’m struck by the apparent notion that a variety of things that would benefit the populace at large, or at least large chunks of it, are all “socialism.” At least, so sayeth our esteemed Senate Majority … Continue reading
Government Showdown
As I write this, on Wednesday afternoon, things on Capitol Hill have gotten a bit testy. (Well, okay, testier than usual.) The White House is refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas, which is pretty much unheard of. The House is … Continue reading
