So. It’s 2020 and another election cycle. That means it’s time once again to comment on yet another Nancy Mace political campaign. It’s now been ten years that she has been either running for office or scheming to run for office, and she still has placed herself on the side

There can be no redemption for this.
A worthless man, you know very little about, achieved his long-stated goal of destroying the United States tonight. That man is Leonard Leo, former head of the Federalist Society: Leonard Leo is on the brink of achieving the goal he has been working toward for decades: a lasting conservative supermajority on the

Hopefully, you had a chance to read my latest post before this one about how the major machinery of our US government is broken. If you have not, please go here first, then come back and read this post. I’ll wait. Today in the sham that is passing for Senatorial
