Give Houston a problem, boycott Texas products The founders designed a republic with a chamber recognized as the people’s branch. Elections for Representatives would reflect the will of the country. It would be the preeminent political institution. In actual modern reality it is the Members of the political class choose their voters and not the […]
Migrants, both documented and undocumented, built this country. They are not a drain on the economy or in violation of the norms of American culture or people for whom we have no room. It just Trump’s racism for the racist among us.
