ANOTHER VIEW: To win, Democrats must come down strong for abortion

By Jack Bernard  |  Several years ago, my nephew (Anthony Bernard) and I wrote a column for the UGA newspaper, The Red and Black, which was entitled “Rep. Jody Hice has a poor record on women’s issues.” Even though ex-Congressman Hice was obviously anti-women’s rights, he represented liberal Athens, including the University of Georgia

ANOTHER VIEW: Actions of presidential children bring disgrace to the office

By Jack Bernard  |  The U.S. House Oversight Committee, run by right-wing Republicans, has publicly declared war on Joe and Hunter Biden, aggressively pursuing its questionable investigations. But let’s be real. Hunter is unquestionably a total bum, playing on his family name. However, so are the Trump kids, if anything, more so. And, despite GOP screaming, absolutely nothing has ever been proven to show that Joe Biden has done anything wrong.

FOCUS: The war on “Woke” is not won; continue seeking truths

 By Jack Bernard |  An objective source, the Oxford Dictionary, defines woke as “aware of social and political issues, especially racism.”  However, the political right in America uses this term and has chosen to attack those of us who acknowledge our many social, political and environmental problems.
