IF ONLY – If only our lawmakers had the same concern for residents of cities like Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Kenosha and others as they do for the nation’s Capitol building.

TARGETING RINOS IN 2022 – I had high hopes for Adam Kinzinger in 2009, a Republican returning from his third tour of duty with the Air Force in Iraq, deciding to run and unseat Democrat Debbie Halvorson in Illinois.

TRUMP 47.7 – BIDEN 26.9 – That’s the comparison of viewers in millions for each president’s first address to Congress. Trump’s in 2017 and Biden’s on Wednesday.
