Medicare – The Politicus

How Much Does It Actually Value To Promote A Home In Colorado?

Don’t simply go with the primary one as a outcome of it’s handy, or if they’re a pal of a good friend. The commonest way to pay for PMI is to have it rolled into your month-to-month fee and put into an escrow account. But this can be a lot...

When Government Becomes a Career…

It ceases to become patriotism. As a child, I remember reading about post-revolution farmers laying down their plowshares to serve a year or two in government. It was understood that serving one’s government was a patriotic, albeit temporary, duty, not a career. Growing beans, potatoes, and corn made you a...

The Upside Down World of Republican Politics

In the White House Rose Garden yesterday, President Joe Biden read from a twelve-page pamphlet labeled by its author Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) as the “12 Point Plan to Rescue America.” The Republican party’s most fervent dreams are in it, getting rid of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Democrats have wanted to invest in climate control for twenty years and, at the least, take the issue seriously. After weeks of turning their backs on soldiers exposed to human, chemical, and toxic waste from burn pits, GOP politicians finished their ruthlessness by voting, by a majority, to deny children,...

Wolves in the Democratic Henhouse

In nineteen seventy-four, I reached three milestones in my life.
