Mandate of Where?
“Your voice, your hopes, your dreams will define our American destiny…” –45 Our American destiny. This phrase, echoed by the RNC, explains a lot about the GOP and its actions — as well as inaction — of late. The Republican Party is the only force right now that could actually apply the brakes to some… Continue reading Mandate of Where?
These Days
What are you up to these days, Mel? You sure aren’t writing much.
