Opinion | Political violence is all the rage

1 week ago | captimes.com | Jamie Stiehm

Scene 1: There I sat in the Senate chamber, waiting for a Republican to decry the use of force against one of their own. Sen. Alex Padilla, a California Democrat, was knocked to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents in a conference room where Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem promised to "liberate" Los Angeles from "socialists."An absurd South Dakotan, Noem pretended not to know Padilla.

Opinion | Titanic Trump bill is full speed ahead

1 week ago | captimes.com | Jamie Stiehm

Let me tell you the story of the star-crossed Republican Senate and House of Representatives. Republicans can't cross the president and can't compromise with Democrats. They are utterly useless as lawmakers, precariously perched on slim majorities. The Trump Republican plan for the people is etched in black and white in a 1,000-page death warrant for the federal government, except for the five-sided fortress across the Potomac River.
The Protests in LA

I’m fine. Thanks for asking. Other than the endless and awful worries that come with caring for my daughter with long Covid, and the very real fear that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his boss will cut all the research programs that are the best and only hope for the millions (and there will be millions more) suffering from this now incurable disease, I’m OK.

Is our destiny manifest with Trump?

3 weeks ago | keysnews.com | Jamie Stiehm

I know what you’re thinking. America made a wrong turn with Donald Trump, driving our destiny into darkness. But there’s reason to believe Trump is what we’re all about, right from the start: real estate. Trump, a mogul and dealmaker, aims to acquire Canada, Greenland and Gaza. Are these far-fetched whims? No.George Washington, descendant of a Cavalier, was a skilled land surveyor. That was his early profession, along with military adventures.
