ANOTHER VIEW: What we are seeing is the abuse of the justice system

By Jack Bernard |  Fifteen years ago, I was the head of the Jasper County Republican Party. Never did I attack the local Democratic Party.

ANOTHER VIEW: America  needs controlled, legal immigration

By Jack Bernard  |  Immigrants commit less crime per capita than U.S. citizens. Rep. Mike Collins is correct that the Riley murder was horrible. But he is incorrect in blaming President Biden. Let’s recognize the record: Immigration policy has been a mess due to inaction by both national parties.

ANOTHER VIEW: Artificial intelligence will be key part of 2024 campaign

By Jack Bernard  |  Many Americans write off the Democrats and Republicans as being the same. Having been active in both parties, I understand this tendency by swing voters. However, in reality, both parties as currently constituted are clearly not alike.
