Thursday night, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump announced that they had both tested positive for the Coronavirus. My prayers go out to them and I sincerely hope that they have only minor symptoms and recovery rapidly with no ill effects. Reading the news this morning, I was shocked at the number of…

The following is an updated version of a blogpost I wrote for Convention of States in March 2018. In my humble opinion, we should elect dead people to Congress. God only knows enough of them already vote, especially in Cook County, Illinois, and just about every county in California, and I expect at least…

The following is an updated version of a blog I posted on the Convention of States website a couple of years ago. I believe it is even more appropriate today than when I originally posted it. ENJOY. Have you ever wondered why everything that Congress does turns out bad? Why every new piece of…
