  • What is a veto proof House/Senate?

    I am curious about the legislative veto process. As it is now, if a bill passes the House it goes to the Senate. If it passes the Senate, it then goes to the President for his signature. What I would like to know is what is the veto override threshold, and if it is over ridden, will it become law? If after the mid term elections the Republicans take the House and the Senate, what margins will be required for a Biden veto to be over ridden and become law. Hope springs eternal!

    I was in a discussion with a friend and he asked if there was a difference between the Covit-19 virus and the Coronavirus. If the two are not the same, which one is the target of the "vaccine?" Not knowing the answer, I said I would present the question to the best deliberators, The FreeRepublic.
  • Who defines "White Supremacist, Hate Groups, etc?"

    Who defines what organizations are "Hate" groups? To some people, Christians are hate groups, to others, the Muslim religion is a hate group. Some might call the Boy Scouts a survivalist exclusionary training ground. And the list could go on and on. When a "reporter" asks President Trump to denounce White Supremacist groups, and he asks to give him a name of the group, that is a fair question. Someone in this country probably believes that Santa Clause leads a hate organization called, Christmas. It is a sad state of affairs the country I love has entered into.

  • Watergate Revisited....Bergergate

    Sandy Berger should be prosecuted with the same zeal as the Watergate burglers were over 30 years ago. The investigation should also follow the responsibility trail to where ever it leads. The Watergate investigation lead to the resignation of Richard Nixon. If he acted on the request of Bill Clinton, then the dots should be connected and persued. In any event, this burglery has national security inplications and should be treated as such.
