ANOTHER VIEW: Liz Cheney would make a good candidate—as a Democrat

By Raleigh Perry  |  Many of my ideas go in one side of my head and out the other in a giga-second.  One stuck the other day and I have been unable to get rid of it. I have to admit that this might seem like a bizarre idea, but I think it will work.

FOCUS: 14th Amendment already bans Trump from being president

By Raleigh Perry  |  A headline in the Aug. 17, 2023, in The Hill reads “The Constitution bars Trump from holding public office ever again.” This refers to an argument put forth in the previous week by William Baude, a professor of law at the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas School of Law.  The argument refers to Section 3 of Amendment 14 in the Constitution.

FOCUS: Sit back and watch the birds that come into your yard

By Raleigh Perry |  The other day, I just saw my first black and white warbler.  It came to a perch not two feet away from me, like it wanted to talk. It is an incredibly beautiful bird. Where I live, it is a migratory bird, so I will not see many of them.
