BRACK: Judges give new president perhaps his first and only “No!”

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Finally, and maybe for the first time, someone has said “No” to Donald Trump.

About the only other time he may have heard the words “No” was from his two previous wives, who finally divorced him. For sure, it seems that he has never heard the words from his parents, who must have given him his every wish. For sure they staked him with vast sums to start his fiefdom.

BRACK: Our sincere wishes to President Donald Trump on his inauguration day

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Today Donald Trump becomes the 45th president of the United States.

We hope that his administration is a good one for our country. He comes to the office after an unprecedented candidacy, and with the backing of many citizens who sometimes feel disenfranchised from everyday America. He also comes to the office without having won the popular vote.

BRACK: Trump administration may be turning point for our government

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Thinking back politically into the middle of 2016, I must admit that I began to wonder if the GOP challenger Donald Trump might be moving the United States toward a seminal and decisive change.

HOUSTON: One way to view the change:  Seven post-election thoughts

HOUSTON: One way to view the change: Seven post-election thoughts

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist | What did we learn from the election?

1. Trump earned the white guy vote. They didn’t organize, demonstrate, or riot, but they voted. The Midwestern guy thought in accord with the Southern one: “I’m tired of being blamed for all the ills of the world.” Unemployment is a big issue for these guys, especially after manufacturing went overseas. Trump addressed their concerns.

BRACK: He’s our nation’s new president; We wish Donald Trump solid success

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | An out of state reader prompted today’s entry when he asked a question about the election.

What really concerns me seriously are the protests and riots by the young. It is obvious that they do not know the mechanics of government, and I suspect this comes from more than a generation not studying the basics of civics.

FOCUS: Had Clinton Won Florida and Wisconsin, she would be president-elect

By Andy Brack, Charleston, S.C. | Wasn’t the presidential election supposed to be rigged?

Had Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who garnered just over 350,000 votes more than the GOP’s Donald Trump out of 120 million cast across the country, won the electoral college, we wouldn’t hear the end of the election being rigged.
