First appeared in Prescott eNews By Aron Solomon In the revered corridors of American democracy, a relic of the past continues to undermine the essence of fair representation and majority rule. The Electoral College, a uniquely American yet absurdly antiquated system, has far outlived its purpose and must be discarded. It is time for the United States to shed the shackles of an outdated electoral mechanism and embrace a system that truly reflects the will of the people — an approach that upholds the fundamental principles of democracy. Recent years have witnessed the erosion of democratic norms worldwide, and America’s adherence…

First appeared in BOXSCORE By Aron Solomon Political things went from very bad to so much worse today at the French Open in the moments following Aryna Sabalenka’s quarter-final defeat of Elina Svitolina. Sabalenka waited at the net for a handshake from Svitolina that she knew full well was never going to come. I made my views crystal clear on this in real-time: Aryna Sabalenka is deeply Belarusian and a great source of national pride through the vehicle of sport.

The NHTSA has concluded after an eight-year investigation that ARC front driver and passenger inflators have a safety defect that creates an unreasonable risk of death and injury. The agency is demanding that ARC Automotive recall the inflators in the US because they could explode and hurl shrapnel. The company has argued that the recall demand exceeds the agency’s legal…
