Where are politicians who believe?
Where are politicians who believe? Why is it that only the far left- who want to end democracy- have a clear plan? In Britain the last real conviction politician was Margeret Thatcher. Whether you agree with her policies and programmes- most people find some bad but a lot good in what she did- it is self-evident she actually believed in what she was trying to do. She had a clear vision of what would be best for the nation as a whole, she may not have achieved it, but she had conviction of what was right and wrong for the nation.

“Care Is the Flame They Fear”. Content Warning.
The Department of Education announced this reclassification plan in early November 2025, and it is tied to the implementation of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” passed in July 2025. The Department has said final rules will be released by spring 2026, so the changes are not yet in effect but are expected to take hold then.

Dear Author. Top Story - November 2025.
Today I read a Dear Abby column that really bugged me. It was about a woman whose best friend of thirty years abruptly stopped speaking to her because of differing political beliefs. They supported opposing parties, and her friend ended their relationship over it. The writer was hurt, but she hoped that there would be a way to work things out. When the friend had a grandchild, she wrote her a text congratulating her. Her friend responded with a "Who's this?" Our writer was ravaged and wrote the Dear Abby letter, and Abby's response was rather lacking.
