ANOTHER VIEW: What on earth happened to the Grand Old Party?

ANOTHER VIEW: Collins acts like a 6-year-old, wanting to get his way

By Jack Bernard | The Grand Old Party (GOP) just does not have its act together, as shown by the fight to elect a Speaker. Our country narrowly averted a government shutdown last month when then conservative House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R) made a last-minute deal with Democrats to pass a continuing resolution (HR 5860) to keep the government open for 45 days at existing spending rates.

FOCUS: Making comparisons with two Washington marches

By Jack Bernard | The famous March on Washington took place 60 years ago – Aug. 28, 1963.  Some forces in the black community wanted it to be militant and disruptive, along the lines of what Malcolm X desired. However, because of its truly patriotic organizers, the gathering was peaceful- as well as effective.
