I seems like our political parties forget that voters, unlike genders, are fluid. Obama, Trump, and Biden wield that executive order pen with no mind to the fact that all orders can be undone as soon as a president of the other party gets elected, which happens regularly. These latest efforts at gerrymandering aren't perfect, either. Did the Democratic party ever think that a majority of Hispanics in Texas would vote Republican? Did Republicans think 20 years ago that college educated, suburban voters would mostly vote Democratic in 2024? Real question: Do party leaders not understand the dynamic nature of their constituents, or are they just lazy and short sighted?

John, what do you think about the great big beautifulBILL? TAXESwould have been raised without it. No taxes from tips. No taxes ON social Security. And there’s more ! There’s not much said about the good stuff in this bill. I would appreciate your comment as a Ronald Reagan conservative.

John,

Why can’t Congress unite, and pass, a bipartisan national School Safety Bill, that doesn’t involve the polarizing gun control issue. I’m talking about increased mental health resources, enhanced school security, etc. After the Sandy Hook massacre, I felt for sure Congress would urgently act to protect our kids. Instead, they went straight to politics. And numerous school tragedies later, still, nothing has happened. It’s appalling. I’ve never been more frustrated and angry.
