His plan to contest the election has nothing to do with staying in power and everything to do with staying in business — Trump knows he didn’t win the election. He also knows that an even bigger loss is looming. He knew long before the election, that his business, and the Trump brand, has some reckoning in the coming years. When it comes to his brand, his family name, he will stop at…

And why we should be concerned — Over the last several years more and more Western democratic countries have publicly acknowledged the failure of their defense procurements.

After multiple losses, and backroom deals, Kevin McCarthy won’t relinquish his bid for Speaker. — It’s hard to imagine another situation where an individual is vying for an elected position, and after 11 losing election attempts, that candidate still is convinced that they are entitled to the job. “Let’s have another vote!” Same result.

There has always been an expectation that common sense would prevail and the party would…

But, does SCOTUS have the right tools to do its job? — I value perspective. I try not to surround myself with too many like-minded people and I like to have respectful conversations and debates on controversial issues. It is actually how we learn and grow intellectually. Admittedly, it’s been increasingly harder to do that over the last few years. While there…
