After reading
The Daily Independentâs second article criticizing FCI Ashland, I am convinced that this newspaper does NOT support law enforcement.
Working in any type of law enforcement is a tough and stressful environment and I am so disgusted that this paper has joined inmate families in criticizing the conditions at this prison. I know of many homeless people that would be very thankful for free food and medical care of any kind. Yet these families are not being sincere with their concerns.
Conditions in all prisons and jails are hard to manage during the pandemic because of close proximity and other factors.

The Electoral College is flawed so are the alternatives: Experts © AP A map released by the Associated Press shows the Electoral College vote count as of 7:15 p.m. EST on Dec. 14, 2020. The map has been rotated and cropped by ABC. Democracy is built on majority rule and the concept that every person s vote counts. Yet five times in history, American presidents have won office while losing the popular vote, with two of those instances coming in the past 20 years George W. Bush in 2000 by a margin of around 500,000 votes and Donald Trump in 2016 by about 3 million. At issue is the uniquely American system of the Electoral College, which provides that a group of specially chosen representatives (538 at present) for each state choose the president, generally using a winner-takes-all model based on the popular vote.
With Republican President Donald Trump on his way out of office, the next target for Democrats is something equally erratic: the Electoral College.
So zany is the system of electing the president by units of votes from each state that Trump himself ripped it in November 2012.
âThe Electoral College is a disaster for a democracy,â he tweeted.
Trump had it right, but his denunciation of the Electoral College didnât last long. He was happy to flip-flop when the âdisasterâ put him in the White House.
Trump in 2016 lost the national popular vote to Hillary Clinton. She bested him by more than 2.8 million votes.
