The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to María Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and her efforts to achieve a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
I am grateful we still have leaders upholding justice, truth and integrity.

Why we support Prop 50 in Ca.
On the one hand, we believe in representative democracy—districts that fairly represent the electorate, regardless of party or politics.

A wise OpEd (SDUT on 9/26/25) on why we need to move to the center if we want some control over our futures.

Here's a great proposal from author, journalist and historian Matthew Algeo--

direct elections of your Senators and Reps! No districts, just vote for who you like and the top vote getters represent us in Congress.

Take Pennsylvania as an example. Instead of 3 you'd be represented by all 17.

This tells the story of how we need to power everything. The size of the circles represent the amount of energy from those sources. Start with the consumption circle (earth's energy needs for 30 years). Then compare that to what our choices are. Renewables on the left and finite on the right.

Sending love and gratitude to all out there.

Never thought I would be posting editorials by George Will. Here is his take on what our government is doing to this precious America--the one I grew up in, where pursuit of knowledge was valued.

I don't always agree with her, but Peggy Noonan's "Trump's Climbdown for the Ages" is powerful, wise and rings true.
Appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, 4-12-25.

At least 10 countries are on track to get more than two-thirds of their electricity from wind and solar by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. And the US is not one of them...especially now.
