BRACK: Totally flabbergasted as our nation elects Trump

By Elliott Brack  |  The word best to use is “flabbergasted.” Never did I think the American people would stoop so low as elect someone who campaigned on lies, distortion and outrageousness.

FOCUS: Standing up to pressure to keep elections honest

By Andy Brack | It’s the second day of a new year just after a presidential election  and you pick up the phone.  At one point, the guy on the other end of the line says, “All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes , which is one more that we have because we won the state.”

ANOTHER VIEW: Call it MABA: Making America Broke Again

By Jack Bernard  |  Only one president in recent years accomplished the goal of balancing the budget. That was Bill Clinton. He had budget surpluses for fiscal years 1998–2001, the only such years from 1970 to 2023. Donald Trump’s record from 2017-2020 conclusively illustrates the fact that he supported excessive spending.
