Jonathan Bernstein: Speaker Jim Jordan would mean more chaos

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:43:38 GMT

The first nine months of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives have been chaotic, ugly and ineffective. Could it get any worse? Yes.If Republicans follow the advice of former President Donald Trump and elect Rep. Jim Jordan as the next speaker of the House, the odds are that things will get a lot worse.It’s not just that the Ohio congressman is among the chamber’s most extreme conservatives, or that as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee he seems obsessed with Hunter Biden and impeaching President Joe Biden. Yes, those are divisive issues — even among Republicans — that would create problems for him as speaker.As speaker he needs to be able to manage his own party and deal with Democrats. It’s a partisan job, but extreme partisans who have held the position previously have found ways to work with the other party within the chamber, in the Senate, and when necessary, in the White House. The question is whether Jordan is equipped t...

I wanted to get your opinion on something for the social dilemma. So, my wife and I got a dog right after we got married 12 years ago and sadly, his time is coming. The vet told us the only humane thing to do is to put him down and we're going to do so this Friday. It’s so sad, and I’m heartbroken but the dog has had an amazing life and it's just his time. We don't want him to be in pain. My wife is so devastated that she told me she never wants to get another dog and she wants to pay a taxidermist to stuff our dog, and she wants him displayed in our bedroom. I thought she was joking but she’s dead serious and I think she’s lost her mind. I love our dog too, but I think this is over the top. My first question to you...

Ask Amy: Repressed emotions won’t stay hidden

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:43:38 GMT

Dear Amy: I grew up in the ’60s in a Midwestern family where we were taught to repress our emotions.I was a sensitive and creative kid, the youngest of three brothers.My parents were loving but detached, which offered my brother (who was two and a half years older) endless opportunities to torment me.I moved away from our small town after high school and have had a good life and successful career.But it took many years to overcome the low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence that I partly attribute to my brother’s abuse.I’ve since realized that my brother was depressed, and even now, many years later, he hasn’t been in therapy or received medical treatment for his depression.I’ll be seeing my brother in a few months and am wondering if I should tell him how I feel?We’re both in our early 70’s, and talking about it now seems ridiculous, but at the same time I wonder if keeping quiet is upholding an unhealthy family tradition. Should he be held...
