White evangelicals voters have brought us Trump and his MAGA political team. They voted for him in overwhelming numbers in 2016, 2020 and in the 2024 primaries. Polling shows that they will again vote for him in overwhelming numbers in November and will continue to support his political and...

There is another thread on how to bring peace between the parties. This is simply not possible. The MAGA/Trump controlled Republican Party will succeed in continuing as a viable party, or it won't.

https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2023/08/08/shakespeare-belongs-classrooms-florida-says-knocking-hillsborough/ This FL nonsense speaks for itself. Some think that these efforts are to cause chaos in public schools. Surely, these educators can't be serious!

45 years ago, SCOTUS allowed Affirmative Action programs as a temporary solution to a problem. Thes results have been impressive as the Obama's noted. Barrack noted in his campaign that he didn't think that his advantaged children should be given such preferences. And this is the heart of the...

Yet again, the court has made a very reasonable choice. They rejected the ridiculous theory of the right that state legislatures should be allowed to approve delegates without any oversight by the state courts. The Court didn't have to act. They could have simply reject to review the...

The US is the country that has a debt limit to decide whether the government should default. or others, there is a budget process, and an authroization process. The debt of the US should be paid pursuant to the constitutional provision. After this fight, the law should be challenged...

Haley will announce for president in the next two weeks. She seems to be well-placed to be the VP candidate under Trump, DiSantis or even someone else. This would place her well in her goal of the 2028 nomination.

Congress passed the bill defending same-sex and inter-racial marriage. The Senate has approved the massive Defense bill which has a large amount of support for Ukraine. This will last a year. I should note that there is the flexibility to move monies around, as long as the top numbers aren't...

The Russians started a war and attacked the Western energy system. Saudi Arabia has refused to cooperate. Someone was able to lead the Western countries in strategies and actions to deal with this Russian threat. So, the effect of the Russian war on the price of oil has been negligible...

From a crass political perspective, IMO, Democrats are much better off for 2024 without control of the House. 1) With full control for 4 years, I suspect that more would want a change. This would hurt most in the Seante where 23 Democratic seats are up. 2) It is not clear that the Democratic...

This time the Republicans may be able to wait for at least a few months. Bolton's approach seems reasonable. Obviously, we need to move on from Trump. There should be plenty of candidates. He has said that if no one will oppose Trum, Bolton will. It seems reasonable for potential candidates...

Di Santis may have personally won the House for the Republicans. He certainly played a big part.

AOC is calling for the resignation of leadership. Perhaps it might have been better if she worked harder for the Democratic candidates, even those that she didn't like. It is possible that these seats made the difference.

Biden is ready to retire. He was ready in 2016. He ran in 2020 because he believed that he was the best candidate to beat Trump. If he believed that Trump wouldn't win the nomination, I think that he'd retire next year after the State Of The Union address. However, if Trump is running...

Democrats predict an 'extremely busy' lame duck. Here's what's on the agenda | CNN Politics I will be interested to see whether McConnell is willing to pass a continuing budget resolution through 2024, and whether he might even consider a debt limit increases that will bring us through 2024...

Congress will need to act on the Electoral Count bill. Congress will need to act on various budget issues (see the post below) or various laws will automatically be changed. Also, a government close-down will occur. This is NOT what McConnell wants in the last couple of months of leadership...

McConnell will have some difficult decisions to make once the election is decided. McConnell really, really dislikes Trump. He dislikes his attacks on his wife and on those who won't accept the Big Lie. But McConnell must wait and try to help elect a Republican senate, no matter how much...

In a close race, the rest of senate seats will be won by the party that now holds the seat in almost all states. The real question marks are GA, NV and PA. Others could surprise, but not likely if the nationwide voting is close. It possibly will be Republicans 49 Democrats 48 with 3 states...
