At age 79, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has passed away of natural causes. Scalia’s influence and decision making within the Supreme Court has had a dramatic impact on our society.

President Obama’s weekend unveiling of tax cut proposals for the middle class was a much welcomed surprise – unless you were the Republican Party, who exhibited a similar reaction to that of a bull meeting a matador in the arena.
I like to think this is how Tuesday night’s election results were revealed to Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor.
There are few Senators that fight against the good that America could offer more than Senator Rand Paul. Whether he is perpetrating the false understanding that the U.N.

By now you have likely seen this video:
The confetti has fallen, the last patriotic song has played, the candidates have left the stage and that ends the 2012 Republican National Convention. This was a potential major turning point for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney as he reintroduced himself into the public spotlight. But before we discuss if that worked or not, join us for a crash course through the convention’s first two nights.
As the country continues to cope with last week’s horrific theatre shooting, the topic of gun control returns to the public spotlight.
Social media networks are incredible. Sites like Facebook and Twitter offer an outlet for people to voice their opinions on a wide-range of subjects in real time. If your feed read anything similar to mine, your wall was likely covered in posts by a combination of newly minted gun lobbyists and stricter gun control advocates.
Jeb Bush recently found himself in hot water like a crustacean at Red Lobster for saying former president Ronald Reagan would have a tough time being accepted by today’s Republican Party.
Bush took criticism from his own party for his comments, but he brought up an interesting point… that was dead on.
