Rebecca Boyle last week wrote a fascinating piece in The Atlantic that crystallized the fast-approaching catastrophe facing our western states. Richard examines her conclusions and offers a sincere warning to America.

Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas is no stranger to scandal and might end up winning the biggest Pyrrhic victory in recent Republican history.  Richard explains the potential consequences for both Republicans and Democrats.

He has told us that even though he is neither a doctor nor a scientist, he knows more than all the experts when it comes to lifesaving vaccines and medical protocols. Richard takes a close look at the quirky life of RFK Jr. , America's Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Unqualified to begin with, Kristi Noem has refused to create any accountability for what has in essence been a secret police force, and has not only denied local law enforcement the ability to investigate the abuses and deaths but she has blatantly defied every stage of the rule of law. Richard explains the rationale.

When a judge last week dismissed defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s attempts to retaliate against Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, a former Navy Captain and Astronaut, many of us were buoyed by a federal judge’s damning opinion for the Secretary but also stunned that it’s come to this. Richard explains.

The numbers confirm things are going from bad to worse for Trump and by extension the party. And here’s the thing... there are no indicators that the White House has any intention of helping it’s party. Richard explains.

Yesterday the Attorney General of the United States appeared before Congress under the assumption she would answer pressing questions about several urgent issues. The AG made it clear from the very beginning that she had no intention of answering any questions. Richard reviews what turned out to be a circus of sorts in our nation's capital.

Friendships among Congress persons across the political aisle were not always as uncommon as they are today. In particular cases, a Republican and a Democrat could fight and argue in session but maintain a good friendship away from the Capitol. One noteworthy example is the friendship of Republican Ronald Regan and Democrat Tip O'Neill. In this segment, Richard explains why friendships across the aisle are so valuable and important for a functioning Congress.

Late last week, Donald Trump posted an unmistakably blatant racist video clip that portrayed a former President and First Lady as apes. Apologizing would require a conscience or the faintest presence of decency.  But don't hold your breath! Richard explains why.

After being threatened with contempt by Congress, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed last week to testify before the House Oversight Committee about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Could this backfire for Trump and the Republicans? Richard explains.
