Senator Marco Rubio recently introduced a bill that would impose severe sanctions on Russia if it continues to meddle in American elections.

The Senator means well. But the sanctions are so broad they'd damage America's economy -- even more so than Russia's. Our oil and natural gas industry would bear the brunt of this damage.

Let's hope Sen. Rubio is willing to return to the drawing board and design a sanctions package that pummels Putin -- not Floridians from Pensacola to Palm Beach.

I know what you’re saying to yourself ...‘Oh, no, not another negative opinion of President Trump’s executive performance from some know-nothing outsider.’  Well, yeah, that’s what this is, but with a bit of historical insight and a perspective that you might appreciate and find useful in your own dealings with your fellow man, boss, government official ...or woman, as the case may be.

President Donald Trump intends to hand out $12 billion to various farmers to offset the financial losses they are facing due to his trade war. That’s his attempt at directly padding his supporters' pockets.

He announced his plan to indirectly help farmers during a recent visit to Iowa, saying he may issue a "12-month E15 waiver."

       So much of our reasoning about race is both emotional and faulty. In ordinary, as well as professional, conversation, we use terms such as discrimination, prejudice, racial preferences and racism interchangeably, as if they referred to the same behavior. We can avoid many pitfalls of misguided thinking about race by establishing operational definitions so as to not confuse one behavior with another.

Dear Dave,

My husband started his own one-man, small business as a handyman a little less than a year ago. He has netted $17,000 in that time, but the business has about $13,000 worth of debt. We’ve always kept personal finances and business separate, but what would you think about us selling one of our paid-for cars to help with the business debt?

It’s easy to blame the internet for the decline of the traditional daily newspaper.  It’s a factor, yes, but just because demographics and the social blueprint are changing it doesn’t mean your local newspaper should accept this techno-quick & dirty iPhone phenomenon.  The sad decline in readership, circulation and sales is the result of the newspaper-reading market becoming both stimulated and stupefied by social media, and bored to death by the uninspiring content of your local paper.
