There’s a lot to discuss in politics that much of defies description. Nevertheless they are often important. Find those here.
You may remember a previous post entitled “Symbolism over Substance.” Today’s conversation is about one thing and one thing only: Symbolism. Symbolism as defined: “1. the practice of representing things by symbols, or of investing things with a symbolic meaning or character; 2. a set or system of symbols; 3. symbolic meaning or character; 4.

You’ve heard the term “FISA Court” bandied about consistently the last few days. Do you know what it is, where it came from, what is its use, and who controls it? YOU may not know, but I’m certain the politicians and news pundits who continue to howl don’t have a clue about FISA. Ready for

There is just too much “noise” in D.C. We just elected a new president and a new Congress. It’s been more than a month since everyone swore into their newly elected positions.

What’s in the shadows we cannot see? There is a lot there I promise. For one thing this Russian business (as I promised) is there and is blowing up in our faces. And we haven’t seen anything yet! This for the Democrats is not about the Russians at all. It’s about one thing: getting Trump

We are dangerously close to letting the intelligent use of words that for so many generations have successfully painted our thoughts, feelings, ideas, and ideals slip away into a world of sound bytes.
The first time I heard this phrase it was used by Rush Limbaugh on his nationally syndicated radio show. I can’t remember the specific context of his use, but it probably occurred during the first Clinton presidential term in the 90’s. It intrigued me because until hearing it I had struggled with grasping the reasoning

Most conservatives have watched, often choking back laughter at the antics of the Democrats post-presidential election. Many still do not accept the Trump victory over Clinton. I will never forget the shock on the faces of Hillary followers in New York expecting there to be a coronation of the first female President. Instead they got
