Once upon a time, horse racing was one of the most popular spectator sports in America. Tens of thousands would regularly flock to the tracks–which were located in most of the country’s largest cities–but county and state fairs would feature horse races as well. While there was always the opportunity to bet on the ponies,…… MORE
The Party Pirates
Those heading up national and state political parties have to be wondering how outsiders have managed to come in and hijack their operations. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are dealing with subversive attacks that threaten to derail their political directions–and alienate some of their largest support bases.

How the Rule of Law Works
In his “governance by chaos” style, President Trump is forcing Congress to address immigration issues with a tight six-month deadline by promising to repeal the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy instituted by President Obama.

Why would Oshkosh Corp–long a good neighbor here in the city–out of the blue ask officials if they could buy the site? …… MORE
