You have your facts wrong. The Department of Education was indeed created by Congress in the The Department of Education Organization Act (Public Law 96-88). While JFK created the USAID it was later established as a separate agency by Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (Public...

You seem to be assuming that I didn't oppose the power grabs made by those presidents. That assumption is not accurate. I don't like the power grabs of Democrats any more than I do those of Republicans. The way Trump is starting out is a rather rocky road and if he wants to succeed in doing...

Even if the damages are less than $12,500 or the plaintiff is willing to limit his/her claim to that amount pursuing a malpractice claim on your own is very difficult to do successfully and actually come out ahead financially. The plaintiff will need an expert witness to testify regarding the...

I think you meant to say that it was NOT political. I think Biden's pardon of Hunter was wrong, but not because it was a political move. I don't believe politics was at the center of that decision. I think the decision to spare his son the hardships of a conviction. While as a parent that's very...

Making the government more efficient is great. But doing it by attempting to do it by either going around Congress when Congress must approve it or creating or terminating agencies, another power given to Congress rather than the President, and attempting to take power granted to other branches...

I do keep up with the news.That Forbes poll hardly shows overwhelming support for the president. 53% is just over half of those polled, hardly a ringing endorsement of his approach. He's not manged to win over many of the people in the other half of America that didn't vote that he's taking us...

Some of what Trump — and especially his henchman Musk — have done very likely violates the Constitution. Unlike running their own corporations where they have the sole power to run them any way they want, the Constitution wisely divides government power among the branches of government to...

Cutting the tax from taxing 85% of SS income back to 50%, as it was for a long time, makes sense because only the taxpayer was never taxed on the 50% of the SS contributions that the employer is required to provide. But if the Republicans wan't to cut that tax they'll need to find spending cuts...

People are the cause of most of those ills, and they existed before big government ever existed and even before writing was invented to record the history of humankind. Government is simply a reflection of those who run it.

Article 18 of the Boulder County Land Use Code is the portion that defines terms used in the Code. It does not have a definition of "access". So where are you seeing the definition and how does it affect you? Having once lived in Boulder I'm familiar with how seriously both the city and the...

Actually Trump did not say exactly what he would do should he be elected. On most issues he was very vague about what he'd accomplished and even more vague on exactly how he'd do it. Make no mistake, his efforts here are not a noble effort to purge bad agents as Trump very much wants the public...

I agree. Some of Trump's goals I agree with. But I don't agree with the way he's going about it. It should not, as much as possible, come at the expense of hardworking middle and lower class citizens, whether in government or out. His scatter shot approach to some of these things are baffling to...

That argument would work if the driver first allowed her to sit in the car and see if the seat belt will fit. Then if the passenger can't get seatbelt around them the driver would be on much firmer ground saying "I'm sorry, but all people in my car must wear a seat belt for safety."

That is flawed logic. The law has long recognized that certain rights can be restricted over the age of adulthood and others to those under it based on their capacity to exercise the right responsibly. We all have seen 18 year-olds who can't drink responsibly, hence the reason nearly every...

This may be the first statement you've made about Trump that I agree with. There's a lot Trump's team is doing that voters had no clue were coming and some of those who voted for him might have voted differently if they had known. Trump is working hard to make America a better place for...

We can add this to the long list of technological advances that get unleashed on the world before the issues of whether and how the technology should be used are considered. As a species we still haven't learned much from our past problems with tech abuse/disasters.

What the author of that didn't mention, probably because he/she didn't bother to do the research before writing up the story, is that Michigan is the only state in the country that has a law prohibiting discrimination based on weight. Currently the law only expressly covers weight discrimination...

The problem of migrants coming into the country didn't start with Biden. We've had that problem for decades. You are correct though that problem got significantly worse during Biden's term. We wouldn't have nearly as many problems as we've had the last two decades or more if both parties in...

While written pretty poorly very generally this kind provision transfers from the grantor to the grantee all of the rights and property described in the deed except for those rights that are reserved in the deed and excluding any property that is excepted in the deed. But in order to know the...

Yes, the 1099 should go to the lawyer/law firm that handled the case. Please don't snipe at me for giving you information you already knew. I can't read your mind to divine what you know and don't know. So I provided information that I thought might be helpful. I don't see why getting more...
