Why Trump thinks that he is a "hit" with Black voters defies wisdom, notwithstanding the support from Tim Scott who says that he "loves" Trump, along with other Black conservatives who have jumped on the MAGA wagon, Trump is like "Casey at the bat".

There seems to be a consensus in the community that the current Monroe City Council "is on to something." It's only been two meetings in the new term, and judging from the comments from citizens at the last meeting, it appears that the voters in Districts 3, 4, and 5 like what they are seeing. And that, they say, is good for progress. However, the honeymoon may be short-lived after the conclusion of the August 13, 2024, council meeting. Councilmembers will once again discuss the highly...
