President Biden has dropped out of the campaign and endorsed VP Kamala Harris. Biden has experienced a cognitive and physical decline that he, his White House handlers, and VP Harris have continually denied. Her covering up of this frankly posed a threat to our national security. Loyalty is …
The recent claim by Justine Wadsack that she needed to drive her Tesla faster as the battery was low is totally without fact. Having driven Teslas for over 4 years and over 35,000 miles, slower speed conserves battery energy.
I am deeply troubled about news reports that President Biden has renominated Lauren McFerran to serve on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) several months before her term is actually set to expire. The move seems designed to put politics over the needs of small business owners and emp…

In Judge Wendy Million’s wonderful opinion piece about what is being done to prevent domestic violence in Tucson, I noticed that the Pima County Attorney’s Office was not mentioned as one of the collaborators. It is my understanding that they used to be a prime mover in that effort—until Lau…
Already the naysayers, Republicans?, have started weighing in on Kamala's qualifications for the Presidency. One recent letter states that "she showed no remarkable legal activity" Also "nothing notable in legislative accomplishment". I can only assume that in the naysayers minds that no wom…
