I walked into my bedroom, turned on the TV, caught a glimpse of Mark Robinson’s face, turned, his voice roared – stopped me in my tracks. Most political ads are cliches wrapped in flashy graphics, dark music, laced with melodramatic voices – you watch one for five seconds and tune it out. But in Josh…

Sighing, a friend told me, The rule of law in America is no more. It’s gone. Sitting across the table another friend nodded, Biden’s using judges to destroy Trump. Biden controls the judiciary.

I asked a friend to make a campaign contribution to Rachel Hunt, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, and he asked me, “Why does the lieutenant governor matter?” Here’s why. As Lieutenant Governor, Hunt will preside over the Senate – unlike Mark Robinson, who handed over his gavel to the Republican Senate leader, Phil Berger.…
