Kelly's Run Is Almost Over
Kelly’s Run Is Almost Over
By Grace Lidia Suárez
He lasted a long time. One of Trump’s first hires. But if the buzz is correct, he does not have long to go.
Numerous reports say that Kelly’s days are numbered. By all reports, Trump never liked him. And that is very important. If Trump likes you, it doesn’t much matter how bad you are (Exhibit A, Scott Pruitt.)
The Washington Post reports,
After White House Chief of Staff…

Her Name Was Mary Jo Kopechne
Her Name Was Mary Jo Kopechne
By Susan Kuebler
There has been a lot of talk about the new movie just released “Chappaquidick.” The New York Times review of it however, is disturbing, on a number of levels.
It was the summer of 1969. The first man had set foot on the moon. Washington, D.C. was only just beginning to recover from the riots of the year before following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. While…

Even in the Trump Swamp, Scott Pruitt Stands Out
Even in the Trump Swamp, Scott Pruitt Stands Out
By Grace Lidia Suárez
Stories about EPA Chief Scott Pruitt’s excesses are reaching fever pitch. Every day brings a new story, a new outrage. In any other administration he would have been gone weeks ago. But even in the miasmic Trump Swamp, his antics stand out.
Let’s review the acts, which to the best of my knowledge, Pruitt has not even bothered denying.
Shortly after arriving in Washington,…

Forget Mexico: We Need A Canadian Border Wall
Forget Mexico: We Need A Canadian Border Wall
By Susan Kuebler
It is time that the American people woke up to the danger being posed to our safety and lives by the dangerous border between America and Canada. Forget Mexico – we have a big, beautiful river that guards most of our border against that country.
Canada is not sending us their best people. Some of them are good people, but think about it. Would anybody really smart want to…

Goodbye, Michael Cohen, We Hardly Knew Ye
Goodbye, Michael Cohen, We Hardly Knew Ye
By Grace Lidia Suárez
Well, it happened. Trump has finally denied knowing anything about the Daniels payment, or where his lawyer Michael Cohen got the money. This brief answer carries a world of consequences.

First, it tosses out the third party beneficiary theory, floated by Cohen.

Generalissimo Trump Deploys The Troops
Generalissimo Trump Deploys The Troops
By Grace Lidia Suárez
Yesterday Trump announced he was sending “troops” from the “military” to the border with Mexico.
He can’t do that. The Posse Comitatus Act forbids it, except under extraordinary circumstances not present here.
After hours of absolute chaos, beleaguered Acting Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced that what Trump really meant is that he would deploy the National Guard.
He…

China Hits Back With Troubling Tariffs
China Hits Back With Troubling Tariffs
By David Malcolm
Republicans are once again trying to decide whether to give Trump a pat on the back or a slap in the face. Standing up to China gets a big thumbs up in the GOP, but many in Congress would have preferred a method that didn’t endanger American exports or make American consumers pay more for less. Trump is certainly taking a stand against China with the new tariffs but now China has…

Dutch Lawyer Faces Prison In Mueller Probe
By David Malcolm
Dutch lawyer Alex van der Zwaan has become the first person in Robert Mueller’s investigation to be sentenced. Van der Zwaan was sentenced to 30 days in prison and will pay a $20,000 fine after he admitted to lying to Mueller’s team of investigators in February.

The Death of the Dream
The Death of the Dream
By Grace Lidia Suárez
Trump announced, on Easter Sunday, that “DACA is dead.”
Granted, he has flip flopped on this issue so many times he owns the world record. But as some point people have to take him seriously and this is as good a time as any.
Who are the Dreamers?
They are people who were brought to the U.S. by their parents or guardians as children, some as young as three months. In other…

Electronic Minimalism
By Grace Lidia Suárez
Every once in a while I allow myself the pleasure of writing about something other than politics.
I noticed that although I have made mighty strides towards organization and minimalism, I looked at my computer the other day and found it … cluttered.
Oh, there were no files on the desktop or thousands of emails in the inbox. I’m past that. Instead, there were perfectly…

Protecting our most sensitive data is vital, especially as technology becomes an even bigger part of our lives. However, the issue is complicated and more than a little touchy for some…

The Second Amendment Is Not Going Anywhere
The Second Amendment Is Not Going Anywhere
By Grace Lidia Suárez
Retired Justice John Paul Stevens threw a well-aimed hand grenade into the gun control debate with a simple suggestion: repeal the Second Amendment and rewrite it.
He put the issue very clearly:
Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment, which provides that “a well regulated militia,…
