BRACK: Trump’s many pardons benefitting his convicted friends

BRACK: Trump’s many pardons benefitting his convicted friends

By Elliott Brack   |   Though President Trump has embarrassed us nationally and internationally again and again, we are most distressed over his wholesale pardoning of so many people convicted by our criminal justice system. He is making a mockery of the courts by granting  clemency to many who have contributed to him in some financial manner.

BRACK: Senators, stand on your hind legs and curtail Trump

By Elliott Brack  |  Last week, there were two significant votes in the U.S. Senate that may show signs of an initial crack in the Republican Party ranks that might eventually curtail President Trump’s efforts to drastically change our country.

ANOTHER VIEW: Trump dynasty is showing signs of rocky road

By Jack Bernard  |  President Trump was elected with less than 50 percent of the popular vote. However, Trump has convinced himself that he was elected in a landslide and somehow has a “mandate.” Therefore, Trump has decided that he can and will be a King. And that he is entitled to rule forever more, regardless of the Constitution.

ANOTHER VIEW: Can we remain as a nation of laws, not ruled by a king?

By Jack Bernard  |  Gov. Kathy Hochol of New York made the above statement after Trump had posted “He who saves his country does not violate any law.” That statement is taken from the French dictator Napoleon, a small of stature man who wanted to rule the world by force.

FOCUS: With no mandate, Trump oversteps his boundary

By Mike Wood  |  He can say it again and again, but Donald Trump did not get a mandate in the 2024 election! He is far overstepping the boundary of what a president should do, and needs to be curtailed in his efforts.
