   Who Cares about November?

   Who does care about election day this November? The outcome seems pretty much preordained even though the MAGA right and socialist left continue to fight it out. But we deserve a better choice than these two essentially un-American options. If we want better choices in November 2028 we need to start working on it now!

   Principles versus Reality

   This has been a difficult commentary to prepare. America has welcomed people of many different religions as visitors as well as citizens. But members of one religion have repeatedly attacked us and our friends and allies. Many people, even some of our own leaders, have said that these attacks are only perpetrated by extremists within this religion. But it is hard to separate the extremists from other believers. And as members of this religion become more politically active they have allied themselves with socialists that are opposed to American ideals and principles. So what are we to do with the Muslims among us?

   Looking for Good News

   My wife always complains that my commentaries are depressing because I only discuss the bad news out there. But there is good news out there as well, if you look hard enough. In this commentary we look at some of the good news out there and discuss why many people are still anxious and depressed.
