    In a letter to James Madison, dated November 30, 1785, George Washington wrote, “We are either a United people, or we are not.

  • Remaining True to Self

    Simply put: I refuse to engage in rumor-mongering. Someone can say all the nasty things they want about me – but I will not return the favor. Recently, I went for job interview and discovered I am being ‘bad mouthed’ by another person. When I was asked to ‘explain’ my side of the story, I…

  • What Comes After Harry Reid Leaves

    Democratic operative James Carville, who worked on the presidential campaigns of both Bill and Hillary Clinton, said Hillary’s use of a private email account during her time as Secretary of State was legal and because she was trying to avoid congressional oversight. “I suspect she didn’t want Louie Gohmert riffling through her emails, which seems to me…

  • Life Lesson #16
