The Republican 118th United States Congress, which began on January 3, 2023, and will end on January 3, 2025 is really failing.

It has enacted 51 public laws and zero private laws. In contrast with previous Congresses, which generally enacted their first laws no later than January or February, the 118th Congress's first law was enacted on March 20.

Republicans are at each others throats as US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene tried and failed miserably to remove GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson.

California was once home with my wife and kids, but when I got divorced, I turned over the deed to my ex-wife and two daughters.

Today, there are few places left where I can afford those outrageous real estate prices that have gone through the proverbial roof. 

Luckily, some places in Northern California are still high, but not like The Southland.

ARE YOU NUTS?

I certainly am proud of it, because sometimes you feel like a nut, and other times you're it. A nut job if you don't consume nuts or water.

ACADEMIC ACTIVISM

American Colleges and Universities say activism is welcomed and encouraged on their campuses. US Students reacted.

This is not to say scholars don't have to arrive on time, engage in the classroom, and complete their assignments.
Student activism has its place, but institutions for higher learning must prioritize academic excellence and intellectual diversity over politics.

Activists can create an echo chamber and limit the exchange of ideas, hindering the true purpose of higher education.

ACHIEVEMENT

As the school year ends, many students will be only too happy to see math classes in their rearview mirrors.

It may seem to some of us non-mathematicians that geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form of torture, so imagine our amazement when we heard two high school seniors had proved a mathematical puzzle that was thought to be impossible for 2,000 years.
