I am angry and frustrated that we are forced to watch Donald Trump try to save face while the pandemic rages on without his leadership. If it were fun, it would be a circus. This is not fun. It is a crisis! The Republican Party needs to stand up and demand a stop to this […]

Greg Kesich wrote on Nov. 15 that great achievements of the past comes when one party controls Congress and the presidency.
