Page 3 - Jack Batson News Today

Today I complete my prediction of the ending of democracy in the world’s premier democracy, something with worldwide and historic significance. My next piece will be lighter, I promise. To repeat my last column: many Republican state legislatures are now stealing future elections – legally. By makin

I found Jack Batson’s opinion column, “On The Left” (Nov. 22) to be a self-exposing embarrassment. Jack basically called every non-conforming voter a Nazi, Jack’s version of democracy a one-party system. He refuses to understand that we already live under a totalitarian government masked by a Covid

Jack Batson may have given up (or was that a “tongue-in-cheek” column he wrote Nov. 22), but I haven’t. He is right about the parallels to Nazi Germany (read “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” and you will see them clearly.) The Republican Party has become too blatant t

Many decades ago we used to joke about cartoons where some placard-carrying idiot would cry, “The end is nigh.” Sadly I believe it is nigh . . . NOW. I honestly believe that I will end my days living under an authoritarian government in the U.S. It wasn’t too long ago that people who compared us wit

Suisun Valley: To be part of Fairfield or not to be – that is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler to let the valley fall to the tender mercies of Big Money or to take arms against that sea of troubles. “To arms!

Once upon a time – for a brief period – the Fairfield City Council believed in smart growth, growth that protected Travis Air Force Base and our nearby agricultural valleys. Good projects were approved, but no favors were done. Once upon a time, the Fairfield City Council protected Suisun Valley by

At first, no national TV news carried the bombshell story. The New York Times only mentioned it deep within an article. Why? The event had never happened in our country’s history. Did you hear about it? We now know that Donald Trump tried a coup d’état on Jan. 6. We were one inch from becoming a ban

Jack Batson’s column on Sept. 13 is laughable. The Republican Party is not radicalized. It has been and still is conservative and a party of law and order.   Batson’s comments regarding the two Muslim members of Congress is way off base. They don’t, as he wrote, “simply want us to honor what we’re a

So the debt ceiling limit is nearing. Here we go again for the fifth time since 1995. Debt ceiling moments give us a good insight into the Republican and Democratic minds. One is sort-of rational and one . . . isn’t. No one likes the annual deficits that keep happening and no one likes the national

On the Left: Nations’s future teeters in the balance Jack Batson: On the Left Has your jaw dropped to your belt over the news? Yes, the party of Abraham Lincoln is fully supporting a Big Lie, just like in Germany in the 1930s. The reason is the same, too: to elect a person who couldn’t be elected otherwise. The GOP has no platform anymore. It just parrots whatever their Supreme Leader says, like, “I won by a lot,” which is lie number 30,001 supported by not a shred of evidence. The GOP ...
