Last week, I wrote about how some Democratic United States Congress candidates to whom special interests had paid relatively little attention were elected in the recent midterm election in the big wave of Democratic electoral success across the country. After the...
Here is the way congressional elections often work. The vast majority of incumbents seeking reelection win, and many races that do not have an incumbent are decided in the primary of the party that dominates in the electoral district. Meanwhile, there is a small...
Earlier this month, a mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon appears to have been cut short by Kaylub Giamanco, a father of two students at the school. Giamanco, using a handgun in contravention of gun-free school zone law, killed the murderer....
The midterm election coming up in November is looking bad for Republicans. This is supported by polling. It also is supported by similarities between the situation in America now and the situation twenty years ago. Merrill Matthews described in a Wednesday USA Today...
The advance of socialism and rejection of the United States Constitution have been continuing themes in America over several decades irrespective of which party has majorities in the US House of Representatives and Senate. Yet, on occasion — and especially as biennial...
The United States government minted its final penny in November of 2025. This came after fiat money inflation succeeded in depriving pennies of nearly all their value. Pennies are still circulating, but it is increasingly common for stores to round cost totals to...
It has often seemed like there is no limit to how much money congressional Republicans are willing to shove into the United States military. But, conditions in America are making it seem less a sure proposition that Senate Republicans will soon be following through on...
Typically, all the members of the majority party in the House of Representatives vote for the rule to bring legislation to the House floor for debate, even if some of those members plan to vote against the legislation after the floor debate. Meanwhile, minority party...
Against the horrific high- and low-tech butchery of Palestinians and Lebanese by Israeli ethno-nationalist psychopathic killers, this week there will be an effort in Congress to formally merge or integrate the military of Israel and the United States at the most...
It’s over. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) just doesn’t understand that. Her antisemitism schtick no longer packs the same punch. People see through it now. They recognize that the majority American opposition to the Israel government’s serial violence — enabled by United...
As if there were no Congressional business awaiting our elected officials' attention, Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) set his sights on the very document to which he raised his right hand and swore to defend: the US Constitution. Speaking at the Florida Holocaust...
On May 25, I wrote about how the Republican leadership of the United States House of Representatives had put off until the House would return from recess in June a vote on ending the Iran War. It had appeared that the war termination resolution would win a majority...
The Iran War has been unpopular among Americans since the beginning. Now it has reached the point where it appears it would be voted down in the Republican-majority United States House of Representatives — if House leadership would just allow a floor vote on the...
Here they go again. The members of the United States House of Representatives are set to vote Tuesday on another resolution listing off statistics purportedly demonstrating very high and growing amounts of antisemitism in America. Those claims are bunk. But that will...
Wars of choice, a plethora of changing tariffs and sanctions on countries across the world, and a historically high number of executive orders characterize the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidential term. And all this has been accomplished by the executive...
The continued fallout from the Epstein Files cover-up has apparently done little to imbue Congress with any sense of shame. The legislative branch continued to show how the upper echelon of the U.S. government is more concerned with protecting sexual predators than...
On Monday, the United States House of Representatives approved via a voice vote the BRAVE Burma Act (HR 3190). The legislation would facilitate continuing sanctions against Myanmar, as well as pursuing other adversarial action against the country in Asia. It is yet...
Last week, I wrote about the United States House of Representatives approving funding for the Department of Education for fiscal year 2026 at about the same level as each of the previous two years. This action, I suggested, was at odds with President Donald Trump, who...
It is good to be cautious when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) proclaims he is promoting “common sense” ideas. But, looking at a listing of some of what he on Wednesday called “common-sense reforms, ones that Americans know and expect from law...
During consideration Thursday of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (HR 7148), United States House of Representatives members rejected by a vote of 268 to 164 an amendment offered by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), along with cosponsors Reps. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Chip...
