Time to trump Jeff Flake’s hand with a royal flush
So U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake is threatening to vote against the federal judges for confirmation unless the Senate passes a bill prohibiting the president from firing Robert Mueller.
If I’m Donald Trump, I would make a counter-proposal. Unless Flake votes in favor of the judges I would immediately appoint a new attorney general whose first order of business would be to dismiss both Mueller and Rosenstein.
A new chapter for The Art of the Deal, Washington style.
Sinema’s record proves she is centrist who works across aisle
I would like to respond to the claim made by reader Robert Archer. He wants Gov. Doug Ducey to appoint U.S. Rep. Martha McSally to the U.S. Senate.
Here’s his reasoning: Sen.-elect Sinema is a phony who will not work across the aisle.
That’s ridiculous hyperbole.
I advise Mr. Archer to drop the lie and look at Sinema’s legislative record, where her voting has not been determined by partisan blindness.
She has voted with Republicans many times. And she has consistently positioned herself as a centrist. And Martha McSally?
She pivoted from a pragmatic moderate to a Trump disciple. Any guess on one which one will walk the party talk without an extended hand across the aisle?
Stringer is a good reminder of the distance we still need to go
editorial board nailed it today on Rep. Stringer. He cannot go unchallenged, but censoring him is not the answer.
We need him around, as long as his constituents elect him, to remind us how far we have to go to achieve the American dream of liberty and justice for all.
Acknowledged? Are you kidding? We shed rivers of blood.
Tuesday’s paper rightly condemns State Rep. David Stringer for his dimwitted comments on African Americans not blending in.
The editorial board into a tired liberal rant.
It states that “we still then blunders haven’t acknowledged the full horror of enslaving human beings.”
The writers must have forgotten that nearly 300,000 soldiers died fighting for the anti-slavery Union in the Civil War.
American politics will soon hear from the young Americans
As a high school student growing up in today’s political climate, it’s sometimes difficult to remain optimistic about the state of the world. There’s a lot of hatred and violence at every turn, and it’s easy to lose hope in the future.
Despite this, it’s been really reassuring

❚ to see other young people speaking up and making their voices heard and their values realized. Being a senior and about to turn 18, politics have been becoming more and more important to me. I can only hope that adults begin to take young people more seriously because the future is in our hands now.
