District 14 residents, Let’s set the record straight. A recent letter to the editor is trying to paint a misleading picture that we are not conservatives. The letter’s “evidence,” is linked to a cherry-picked, bogus scorecard. This scorecard is blatant deception and does not deserve more attention or time. However, the voters of District 14 don’t deserve to be misled and are owed the truth. This scorecard excludes many bills and votes that provided a direct benefit to District 14 residents and businesses. Diving further into the data, thi...
The U.S. Supreme Court writes opinions to explain and justify to the American people the decisions it reaches in cases it hears and resolves in conference. The explanation of the Court’s interpretations of statutes, constitutional provisions, precedents and, ultimately, its results, is critical to the partnership between the judiciary and the citizenry, one that hinges on the public’s trust in the Court’s rationales and exercise of awesome power over the life of the nation. In a constitutional democracy grounded in reason and persuasion, the H...

The Cardinals haven't been kind to the Black Sox this season. After a hot start to the year, the Black Sox have cooled off with their two most recent matchups against two separate Cardinals' teams. In a matchup at home against the Langdon/Edmore/Munich (LA/E/M) Cardinals on Thursday, April 25, the Sox suffered their first lopsided defeat of the season. After a scoreless first inning, the Cardinals broke out for a 3-run second inning, and followed that up with a disastrous 8-run inning in the...
