The conviction of Donald Trump by a New York City jury will have no effect on the election.

There may be some short-term trend against Trump, but the public fully understands the nature of this verdict and the partisan bias behind it.

Judge Juan Merchan has guaranteed that this verdict will be perceived as a manifestation of judicial bias. His daughter’s employment by the Democratic Party as a fundraiser, and his biased rulings throughout the case make his bias evident.

Some people don’t like oil-based products.

Forget the fact that many life-saving devices and health care products, not to mention the oil and fuel that have created worldwide and even interplanetary mobility, these morally superior types believe they are saving the planet by trying to end the use of oil.

Crazy, I know, but everyone has the right to protest.

A lot of attention is being given to support being picked up by Donald Trump among non-white voters.

But the change taking place among young voters is even more dramatic.

In the elections in 2016 and 2020, Donald Trump was soundly defeated among voters 18-29.

We can rest assured that the special session of the state legislature beginning Tuesday, called to reportedly approve a plan to return some tax money to Kansas taxpayers, didn’t begin the way it should – with an apology from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly.

For five years now and particularly in regard to 11 bills Kelly thwarted which were designed to bring relief to over-taxed Kansans, our supposedly “moderate” governor vindictively continued to veto efforts by the legislature to return part of the state’s growing surplus to the people who paid it in. Kelly’s performance on tax relief has been abysmal, even as consumer prices skyrocketed under the national mismanagement of the Biden Administration and sucked hundreds of dollars more a month from household budgets. Indeed, Kelly may hold the record for most tax relief plan vetoes by any governor in state history.
