FOCUS: Legislators decry gun violence but never take action

FOCUS: Whoever wins could face a Republican Senate

By Jack Bernard | The Senate currently has 49 Republicans, 49 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats (Senators Angus King and Bernie Sanders). All the GOP needs is to win one race to tie the Senate, or  two flips of seats to give the Republicans control of the Senate.

ANOTHER VIEW: Call it MABA: Making America Broke Again

By Jack Bernard  |  Only one president in recent years accomplished the goal of balancing the budget. That was Bill Clinton. He had budget surpluses for fiscal years 1998–2001, the only such years from 1970 to 2023. Donald Trump’s record from 2017-2020 conclusively illustrates the fact that he supported excessive spending.
