This will be a story or two that is the most current or most important.
Trump’s 2017 tax break was an alleged sham: “more than 60% of the tax savings went to people in the top 20% of the income ladder, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. The measure also slashed the corporate tax rate by 40%”.
Opinion William Barr was appointed United States Attorney General in the Donald Trump administration February 14, 2019. As a federal employee, Mr. Barr must abide by the federal government ethics policy which states employees shall act impartially and not give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual.

This blog has used, for years, the name for the United States ‘Supreme’ Court by putting the word supreme in quotes indicating that it is not supreme because it favors the rich and powerful over the common people. It has not been the people’s court for a very long time and the situation is getting worse. If Brett Kavanaugh is appointed to the court then this blog will change the naming of that court to Supreme Plutocracy Court to reflect it’s…
The “Supreme” Court ruling that public unions can not require workers to pay union dues seems to be following the fascist play book.

It is best read from a screen a lot larger than a cell phone; a large tablet or computer screen is perfect. It offers a lot of detail. The graphics are very good and nicely worked in. The embedded links are cleverly applied. This is a story, a history, of how…
Hearing that the Syrian leadership has allegedly used chemical weapons to kill parts of its own population seems to be the most stupid development by Syria’s government. Knowing that this should draw the United States and other countries into the conflict is either a colossal misstep or a calculation that might gain the Assad regime some advantage. Lets look at the countries that support Syria and see their motivations. If it is the wishes of Russia, China or Iran to…
We live in a Meridith built home. My wife tells me that Meridith is a very good home builder. In my opinion, it IS in some regards but NOT in others. I believe many home builders intentionally cut costs in a number of ways especially items that will take you some time to figure out. Our very large house has one door bell and it is located in the family room, north east corner, ground floor. The door bell can…
