Relevancy of the Constitution in Local and State Elections
 
By Dr. Harold Pease
 
With election signs everywhere it is well to note that it is unrealistic to expect national candidates to follow the Constitution when we did not insist that they did so in local and state elections.  After all, many simply move up to higher office.  Some may even view the Constitution as irrelevant at these levels.
 

Comedienne Melania

All eyes are on Mrs. Melania Trump.  It’s hard to take your eyes off her, she’s a strikingly beautiful woman.  If I were her agent, I’d tell this steely-eyed, somber First Lady to smile more, and to even go one step further and do something wacky every once in a while.  Be a First Lady diva.  There is nothing more disarmingly captivating than a beguiling woman with a sense of style, who also has a sense of comedic, slapstick humor.

President Trump Could Accidentally Help Protect the Environment

By Ryan James Girdusky

No one would mistake President Trump for an environmentalist. Yet his immigration policies could inadvertently safeguard the environment.

Catch fish in peace, solitude, against a beautiful backdrop

DWR biologists list best waters to get away from it all

Catching fish isn’t the only reason people fish. If you choose the right water, peace, quiet and solitude—in a beautiful setting—are waiting for you too. A trip to a water that features all of these things is a perfect way to escape your daily routine, breathe some fresh air and have some fun. And, in many cases, you won’t have to travel far from the Wasatch Front to find it.

Dear Dave,

When is it okay to have a little fun, and buy things you want, when you’re following the Baby Steps plan?

Kaitlin

Dear Kaitlin,

The time for a little fun is after you’ve completed the first three Baby Steps. Baby Step 1 is saving $1,000 for a beginner emergency fund. Baby Step 2 is paying off all debt, except for your home. And Baby Step 3 means you go back and add to your emergency fund until you have three to six months of expenses set aside.

Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:

Seventeen years ago this week, my daughter Ella was born. This means that a few days after 17 years ago, KidsOutAndAbout.com was born. So it's our birthday, and it's time to celebrate!

Educational Fraud Continues

Caucuses are Far More Representative than Primaries
 
Harold Pease, Ph. D
 
Voters might be confused by the difference between a caucus and a primary, each state offering one or the other to find the right contenders for the general election in November.  We will treat both.
