Hillary Clinton
After all the weeks and months and, yes, years that the 2016 presidential campaign consumed, the climax was surprisingly abrupt. Politics makes strange bedfellows. By all accounts it should have been pretty much a “wham, bam, thank you ma’am” affair with no need for apologies on the morning after. Little did we suspect that the…

Less than one week after Donald Trump’s stunning election as our 45th president, several things have become crystal-clear — unfortunately.

(Reprinted from several sources. BE 11/13/16) POLITICS BY AMY MORENO NOVEMBER 12, 2016 The New York Times, along with the rest of the North Korea-style propaganda media, made a mockery of journalism by shamelessly shilling for Hillary Clinton.

It is the perceived loss of freedom at the hands of a smothering big government. We are beset by a vast collection of rules, restrictions, blandishments and recriminations which,…

For many days and weeks now, those who pine for the good old days when elections were roughly fair and bloodless have been heartsick at the prospect of a Constitutional crisis beginning on election day and continuing for who knows how long. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if some honest authority would take charge? Wouldn’t it…

Whoo, boy. Talk about a late-October surprise that has roiled — absolutely roiled — the race for the White House. FBI Director James Comey’s decision Friday to publicly disclose that his agency is looking into emails potentially pertinent to Hillary Clinton’s use of private emails has the potential to elect Donald Trump as president. Forget…
