What was the biggest news issue this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally? Talk about it and why it’s a big deal.

The news that concerns me most is the state of the Republican Party and their attempts to control voting by gerrymandering or by restrictions on the voting process. Unfortunately Trump is still controlling too many members of Congress who have no real reasons for their positions except to foil any attempts of a working democracy lead by Joe Biden. Unfortunately the power of the former president may be behind the reason so many are refusing the vaccination. I’m watching for the civil and criminal investigations of Trump to take him out of the picture. At least I’d like to see a day with republicans with a real platform and suitable leadership to lead the party to bipartisan operations of our democracy. Obviously I also follow the Covid problems in other nations as well as the conflict in the Middle East.
