India has just successfully launched an intercontinental missile
capable of reaching far into China, and China doesn’t like it. The West has remained silent on the test
while doing everything it can to stop North Korean tests.
COMMENTS:
I happen to agree with China. Why is India so intent on a military buildup
anyway? Are they getting ready to take
on Pakistan again?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Something I didn’t know excites me: the Republicans are
suing Obama over his recess appointments last December that put the unions in
control of the NLRB. Do you think they’ll
be successful? (Boris ~ Van Nuys, CA)
A. Yes. The appointments
were illegal because Congress was still technically in session and no emergency
existed.
Q. Mike Reagan is spearheading an effort to make California’s
State Legislature a part-time body. He
argues they spend too much taxpayer money on their meetings and have so much
time on their hands that they are enacting too many laws. I agree.
Could this also be applied to Congress?
(Patrick ~ Sacramento, CA)
A. Yes, and it should.
Congress was originally intended to be part-time with Members spending
the vast majority of their time back home with their constituents so that they
would be more in touch with what the populace wants. The only things they are in touch with these
days are their wallets and their lobbyists.
Q. Why aren’t your blogs on Facebook or Twitter? (Lila ~ Austin, TX)
A. I enjoy writing and do not wish to become a prisoner of
social media outlets. I enjoy good
readership as it is without pledging my time and effort in those
directions which would, in turn, limit my blogging time.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Through a blog, an ordinary citizen such
as myself can use the Internet, this thing invented by Albert Gore, to talk
from my house to the U.S. capital and to make use of my right to point out to government
officials and to the media when they are wrong.” ~ John
Jay Hooker
