Elephants in the Room

There is a great scene in an old musical where a politician Dances a Little Sidestep. It’s funny in a movie, but not when our elected officials do similar in real life. Paul will never dodge the tough questions. Fortunately, I don’t dance.

Migrant Crisis
Ukraine
January 6 & the Ballot
Inflation
Israel-Hamas
Reparations
Crime / Public Safety
Jobs
Student Loan “Relief”
Taiwan
