Shooting aftermath: Do we need to reconsider our relationship with politics?
Yesterday, following the shooting in the DC area, a “friend” posted on Facebook, “I guess that’s one way to open Republican seats…” I assume he thought his comment was both humorous and somehow appropriate.

The COVFEFE Act Triggers 1st Amendment Concerns
Life increasingly mimics art (or what now resembles art), as Rep. Mile Quigley (D-Ill.) has introduced the so-called COVFEFE Act, preventing the President from deleting any of his social media posts.

American Health Care Act an Important First Step
Guest Commentary by San Diego City Councilmember Scott Sherman There’s a reason Congress has approval ratings in the single digits – they never seem to keep their promises, unless it means spending more money.

Jean Freelove, R.I.P.
I walked in on John McCain in the bathroom. He was standing at the basin washing his hands, casually he glances over his shoulder to see my horrified face. I couldn’t move, my knees locked. Inside I’m screaming, “Run, a$$hole, run.” Yet, I stood frozen in my most embarrassing moment in life. Wait, let’s back up. That story really began …

Let President Trump Try to Work with Russia
President Trump is under assault for his posture toward Russia and Vladimir Putin. This is true even as American presidents are fully within their prerogative to establish working relationships with world leaders, and President Trump most certainly deserves the same opportunity.
