The late Mihail Gorbachev and his legacy

Mihail Gorbachev has been referred to as the Last Soviet Leader, who was responsible for tearing down The Berlin Wall. Mihail Gorbachev introduced Glaznost (looking outward) and Perestroika (rebuilding) to than Soviet Union. It seemed to have awaken people’s consciousness to the world outside of Soviet Union. He had stated that he wanted to make Russia a normal civilized society. Many of us Americans still remember our late President Reagan saying to the General Secretary of Soviet Union “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down the Wall.”(Google the speech) On Nov. 6, when Berlin Wall was ...

Bill Johnson only fights for himself and a few fellow haters

Bill Johnson is not a US Congressional representative, because he does not represent a number of populations in our Republican gerrymandered 6 Congressional district. Bill Johnson buries us in robo calls to join his “town hall meetings.” He does not show up in person except to vote against anything for the common human being in our (not his) district.

Documented by honest election officials ...

Was it worth it?

Mr. Trump did what you wanted; he appointed three Supreme Court Justices that got rid of Roe although the majority of Americans were happy with Roe. Now we have draconian laws in different states with hospitals and doctors being afraid to deliver the health care that women and girls need. Was it worth it? Mr. Trump loved the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails and still brings it up today even though Hillary was exonerated. Now we have an ex-president who has kept dozens of boxes of government documents and top-secret files for over a year in his private residence. Is he ...
