One of the ideas I liked the most from Donald Trump on the campaign trail was his proposal to harness the expertise and gift for innovation of billionaire businessman Elon Musk if he were to get elected. It looks like Trump will follow through on his promise to have Musk, who leads Tesla and SpaceX…
Donald Trump, despite who he is, has won the 2024 presidential election and will retake the White House for a second term. Trump’s win became official early Wednesday morning after media outlets called Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, giving him enough Electoral College votes for the White House. Republicans made every mistake they could along the way…
A family friend burst into tears when I said “hello” to her this morning. A work colleague just told me he had to take the rest of the day off because he literally could not get anything done. Another friend said she was up all night and trying “not to throw up.” Online searches for…

They understood their actions not only as a way to remedy overly harsh sentences but also to help restore public faith in the justice system. President Joe Biden now has a chance to use his clemency…
