Donald Trump is nobody’s prize now. We are his. He makes a fool of us citizens everywhere he travels and everything he says. Putting his foot in his mouth translates to putting that foot in our backside.

Anyone who has raised children knows the following reframes, "Mommy, he’s calling me names”, or “she’s looking at me” and of course the ultimate travesty, “they’ll being mean to me”. Generally, as children get older, these accusations dwindle when they become a mature adult; I would respectf…

I applaud AG Kris Mayes’ decision to renew efforts to secure indictments against Arizona’s Fake Electors. It’s laughable that the attorneys for the Fake Electors are accusing the Attorney General of partisan law-fare while these MAGA acolytes march in lock-step with Donald Trump and his weap…
