May 15, 2024May 15, 2024 Les Cohen

So, Mayor Brandon Scott has been re-elected with just over 50% of the vote.  The general election in November will make it official unless a viable petition candidate comes from out of nowhere to challenge him.  Wouldn’t that be something?

Missing the Point – In Government We Do Not Trust

May 8, 2024 Les Cohen

Are we perfect?  Far from it.  To put it mildly, freedom, democracy, and capitalism are a hot mess if ever there was one.  We are and will forever be a very mixed bag of people trying to figure our collective selves out, to agree on what is the good and right thing to do, and then make it happen.

Missing the Point – Is the Electoral College constitutional?

April 10, 2024 Les Cohen

Donald Trump may one day be imprisoned for persistently claiming that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election.  I’m talking about what is known as “The Big Lie.”  Ironically, a better argument can be made, albeit for different reasons, that it was Trump who stole the 2016 election by gaming the Electoral College process which is unconstitutional.
