The U.S. Supreme Court recently held that a president “may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to a presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts.’’ It’s a good decision on behalf of all presidents, but not for...
Last Thursday evening’s U.S. presidential political debate televised on CNN revealed what we all already knew about President Joe Biden - that’s his cognitive health is failing and that he has no business running for re-election to another four-year term of office.  Biden, a Democrat, is 81 and not...
When they tell you the best time to start preparing for your retirement years was yesterday, it’s the truth. Social Security’s Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B - health care for retired U.S. citizens turning age 65 - is not what it is cracked up to be. First of all, it is clear that taking care...
