By Bela “Bill” Suhayda John Whitehead, a contributor to The Voice, and for The Rutherford Institute, is a dunderhead.

June 29, 2025Dear editor; There isn’t a lot Americans agree on.

Of course,
To quote an old 1920s song, “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer…ain’t we got fun?” The majority of Republicans in Congress could have used this as their warcry when they passed Trump’s tax bill, celebrated by none other than the felon on July 4, which will result
