Reading commentary about the recent elections, I thought of an observation of Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. Feynman said, “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” That is, we must always be disciplined in looking at things as they are and not bend to the temptation to see them as we wish them to be. After the recent Democratic election sweep, we are hearing that there is unhappiness out there. But is this really news? C...

I don't get it

2025/11/18

Why start something that you don’t have the guts to follow through with? Why grab defeat from the jaws of victory? Barely a week after the best election night Democrats have had in years, with the president’s approval ranking hitting new lows, with voters deserting him on the economy and immigration, what do Democrats do? They cave, or at least eight of them did. By carefully (self?) selecting to include no one who is up for re-election (and two who are retiring), they gave the president the ...

Editor: Re: “Hiding the facts on hunger,” Nov. 5 I take issue with the “Hiding the facts on hunger” letter in the Nov. 5 issue. The author states that they have testified in Washington and Austin for federally funded nutrition programs. I am disturbed that the author is more than willing to reach into my pocket for more money. Already one in 8 people get SNAP benefits. How many more should get them? How about this — non-citizens get removed from the SNAP list, maybe means test the benefits? I...

Confused GOP While President Trump is moving ahead with his planned agenda — an agenda that voters overwhelmingly approved last November — his support from those within his own party is lackadaisical at best. Republicans need to get a backbone, as too few of them are backing the president to move ahead with conservative causes. Texas battles The way Texas primaries are now and continue to be, they are heavily influenced by Democrats and independents. With no requirement for voters to register...
