BRACK: It’s a sad time when those in Congress heckle a president

By Elliott Brack  |  Discourteous people bother me….seriously.  It doesn’t matter who, when or where someone shows bad manners, it’s telling…about that person. Shocked! Yes, we were shocked at the lack of civility Tuesday night when the president of the United States was heckled by many Republicans during the State of the Union address.

BRACK: Here’s another way the progress of justice is being slowed

By Elliott Brack  |  Backers of former President Donald Trump would like to see him exonerated and returned to office. Those who see danger in Mr. Trump want to see him come before a tribunal and face the music for his misdeeds.

BRACK: Wheels of justice eventually move, but usually ever so slow 

By Elliott Brack  |  The wheels of progress sometimes turn mighty slowly. Yet every now and then, the wheel moves a little so that when changes arrive, it sometimes surprises us. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court restricted the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ruling  to regulate climate change.  That thwarted the Biden Administration. But help was soon to be on the way.
