BRACK: It was an amazing performance Tuesday by Kamala
By Elliott Brack | Should there be another debate, we suspect Mr. Trump won’t do much better, but will continue to flub around, go off in many directions, and continue to throw off utterances that often make little sense. And observer after observer noted again that Trump pumped out false facts (“lies”) time and time again.

FOCUS: Making a few points as she waits for the 2018 elections
By Sara Rawlins, Lawrenceville, Ga. | Please allow me to make a few points.
Point 1. Yes, Mr. Trump won the election with the help of the “White Man,” especially in the rural areas, but here’s a fact that needs to be pointed out: most of their jobs went overseas way before President Obama came into office and most jobs were out-sourced because of cost concerns. Here the fault lies with big business, which Mr. Trump is a part of.
