Last week our country narrowly missed a shut down because of 9 rogue senators. The Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, worked with the Democrats and most Republicans to pass a resolution for 45 days. This incensed Senator Goetz, (rogue from Florida) and the following day he made a call to remove McCarthy as Speaker […]
Right now there are two candidates I’m looking at for the Senate. One is Schuyler VanValkenburg, a Democrat and Sibohan Dunnavant, a Republican. Here is my dilemma: Being a registered Independent, right now I am likely to vote Democrat. This is because of the far right extremism of banning books, abortion, the denial of global […]

We, meaning all Americans, are having a serious crisis. I feel like I am living in two different societies. One is the politically usual, meaning operating as we always have, under one (hopefully) unifying President and lawmakers, again hopefully working for our concerns. This means compromise by both parties to try and get things done. […]
