Bernie’s Supporters Could Throw Everything Away
Reading Time: 6 minutesThe YouTubers are still plying their trade, dwelling on sob-stories, ominous polls, and adding to the general rudeness and confusion any way they can. My concern is that we can be led astray regardless of where we look for our news, so we have to be clear about why we’re supporting our…

My Take on Bernie’s Endorsement
Reading Time: 5 minutesWe know there were probably many factors in Comey’s decision not to recommend indictment for Hillary Clinton—the possibility that Bill Clinton blackmailed Loretta Lynch or her independent investigators for example. Knowing the background, you could interpret Comey’s press conference several ways, most of them having to do with bowing to the demands…

President Obama Must Tell Us Who He Serves
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI can’t count the number of hopeful articles I’ve read and YouTube videos I’ve watched about how much trouble Hillary is in over her private server.

He Endorsed Her
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere’s good news and there’s bad news. The bad news is President Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton. The good news is Bernie Sanders turned down the vice presidency, in part because Obama refused to remove Wasserman Schultz as chair of the DNC. This was a good move for Sanders. As for Obama’s part,…

Warning to California’s Independent Voters
