• Ask the Lawyer: Why would the District Attorney provide helpful evidence to the defense?

  Q: The prosecuting attorney has a critical job protecting the public, but I am told this includes an actual obligation to disclose to the defense any evidence the prosecutor has that might show the defendant is innocent. Just what evidence has to be turned over, and isn’t that favoring and helping the defendant?

• Taco Tuesday: These Hidalgo-style enchiladas are really just tacos in disguise

  07-05-2019 20:02
  
  It makes sense that a Mexican restaurant whose name translates to The Sacred Sheep would serve good lamb barbacoa. That’s why most people are here. But what I like even better at this under-the-radar cafe are the enchiladas verdes estilo Hidalgo, or Hidalgo style enchiladas.
  You might ask why I’m writing about enchiladas for Taco Tuesday.
  It’s a fair question.

• Democrat strategy of dividing the country along racial lines will backfire

  Most polls show Americans are more severely split and entrenched along partisan lines than ever before. Conservative Republican voters believe Trump was sent by God. Democrats agree, but only because God was out of frogs and locusts. Dems think Republicans were antagonistic to our first African-American president, so they are not being very kind to our first orange one.
  We are also divided as much along racial lines, and Democrats’ strategy is to fan the fires of racial division in order t
