Pay attention to human beings who corrupt and corrode their intimate, social, and political relationships. Lying is a criminal vice.

However, treachery, disloyalty, and cruelty are also crimes that politicians become engulfed in for the need for power. We’ve seen this in local, state, regional and national politics. 

The accursed vice and the most vile and all-corrupting of them all is lying. Since understanding is brought about by words, whoever breaks their word betrays society.

The Republican Party has failed and is incapable of governing. They only deny, delay, and destroy this great nation our forefathers built.

US Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell’s response to the # MAGA-loving #HighlandPark murders was to say: "We have got to figure out some way to identify these troubled young men."

In June, all #GOP members blocked the following:

- Mandatory wait time for gun sales

- Permanently enhanced background checks

- Mandatory licenses for assault weapons

Gavin Newsom's media ad slamming Republicans is the best effort to fill a vacuum in the Democratic Party's response to the GOP.

While an increasing number of Democrats grow impatient with POTUS, alternative voices emerge. The lack of forceful leadership making a comprehensive case about right-wing radicalization degrading our national life on so many fronts is crucial.

it is about time for Democrats to start fighting back while still following the law of the land and normal rules of respect, consideration, and civility.

According to the question by New York magazine, what do new NYC mayors reportedly accomplish with their incoming political capital?

Did Trump have an un-democratic US dream to enter the Capitol with an armed mob and interrupt the peaceful transfer of power?

American voters see Trump as engaged in nothing less than an attempt to overthrow the government by force. This amounts to criminal sedition. Add to these allegations interruptions of a congressional proceeding, defrauding an American election, destroying U.S. property, seditious conspiracy is now in play, and assaulting a Secret Service agent.

Regardless of which side of the abortion issue any American stands on, SCOTUS conservative jurists have managed to rewrite history.

The ruling reportedly signals a new battle at the polls for future elections. Republicans have won only eight of the last 14 presidential elections and two of those presidents did not win the popular vote, so the president has seemed like more or less a toss-up since the debacle of the Lyndon Johnson presidency.

Historians Rank Every President in history. The votes are in and the POTUS with the lowest score isn't who you might expect.

But then again as they say-  'The jury is still out' - Judgment has not yet been finalized; especially due to information being completed as we speak. The term has been a staple headline in American newspapers for at least 150 years; for example, this from The New York Daily-Times, May 1850: Jury is still out, with no prospect of immediate agreement.
