No surprise
It comes as no surprise that some nut took a shot at Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Instead of debating the issues and facts that concern Americans (taxes, the economy, government spending, crime, illegal immigration), the Democrats attacked Trump with a daily mantra calling him “racist”, “a Nazi”, “a threat to our democracy” and “worse than Hitler”.
Ironic demands
I find it ironic, that in light of the recent attempt on Mr. Trump's life, disgusting, sad and vile as it was, that the Republican talking heads were quick to denounce the state of the political environment in this country. Shouts of, "be civil", “we need to unite", “this is not the United States of America", "rhetoric needs to be toned down", came raining down within a short time after the incident.
Don’t let extremists control conversation
Like many Americans, I was shocked by the failed attempt to assassinate former POTUS Donald J. Trump. Moreover, I was pleased to see the outpouring of support from President Biden, Nancy Pelosi, J.B. Pritzker and Brandon Johnson. Although each is a political adversary of Mr. Trump, they unequivocally condemned the brazen assault on the former President. Violence has no place in a thriving democratic republic.
Column clearly wrong about court decision
I’m mystified why the Daily Herald would publish such a ridiculous, false column as the one by Jeff Robbins on July 11. Robbins says the Supreme Court ruling regarding presidential immunity handed “Donald Trump carte blanche to commit whatever crimes he chooses if he returns to the presidency.”
Trump has shown he knows the job
Americans, especially Independent voters must research what America was like during Trump’s administration. You will see you are not to worry that Trump will become a dictator (nor could he) and you will see America will not turn into a nation of chaos. What you will be reminded of...

Lessons in humility: Vulnerability makes for stronger leaders
My daughter recently was promoted into a management role for the first time. Within days of assuming her new duties she called to vent about the problems she was facing. From scheduling to communications to performance, she quickly was exposed to myriad new challenges. While her track record as a competent individual contributor led to her new position, she was humbled by how much she still needed to learn to be effective as a leader.
