Brett Kavanaugh has been nominated for a seat on the Supreme Court. Suddenly, a report comes to light that there may or may not have been a sexual situation that happened 36 years ago. Sitting on the Senate Judiciary Committee are Dianne Feinstein (who, it is reported, had a Chinese spy on her staff for 20 years) and Cory Booker (who tried to grope a girl’s breast in high school). And let us not forget that Richard Blumenthal lied about service in Vietnam.

Before these self-righteous people pass judgment on others, they should make sure their house can stand inspection. The circus didn’t fold. It moved to Washington and became the Senate.

Why not invest in programs that have success stories and that work rather than fund the same old, same old system that has not been successful and will continue to flounder?

Donald Trump and Sam Brown are extremists. These are two men who would sooner throw your vote away if it’s not for them.

These so-called CBO budget experts, if in the private sector, would be put out on the streets for their incompetence.

A woman has the right to an abortion up to 24 weeks. In fact, no one in Nevada can take away the right to an abortion, including Mr. Brown.

Isn’t it fascinating that signatures are excruciatingly validated and litigated when it comes to appearing on the ballot, but ignored once the actual voting takes place?
