FUNDING CENTRAL AMERICA – Last month, while announcing a plan to provide $4 billion in aid to the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, the White House said it was fine-tuning, and sharply limiting how much money will go directly to the governments.

FOR SIXTY YEARS, my voting experience was about the same. Where ever I lived, I could vote any time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Election Day. If necessary, my employer permitted me to vote on their time if necessary. My identity was confirmed. If I was going to be out of state or the country, as I was one year, I requested an absentee ballot.… read more

BIDEN’S TEAM TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS – President Biden’s Obama and Clinton hand-me-down foreign policy representatives – Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan – had their hats handed to them during talks with the Chinese communists in Anchorage, Alaska.

FOR THE PEOPLE ACT – That’s the public relations title the crafty progressives on the left have assigned to HR 1, a bill that would change our election process on a massive scale never before attempted. It’s also referred to as the “voting rights” bill; who wouldn’t support that?
