Doofus #1, Barack Obama, may be a former Democrat president, someone who you would want to campaign for you under normal circumstances, but doesn’t the left get it yet, it was his failed presidency that paved the way for Donald Trump to win in 2016?
And if you are concerned about losing the Hispanic vote, as the polls see taking place in the midterms, why in hell’s name would you bring out Obama, who in 2008 said, “I can guarantee that we will have, in the first year, an immigration bill that I strongly support,” resulting in receiving 67 percent of the Hispanic vote.… read more

Joe Biden was elected to be the great unifier and his inaugural address was billed as his “Unity Speech.” Let’s go back to that day.
“On this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I ask every American to join me in this cause. … read more

The saying – “the chickens have come home to roost” – with its meaning that bad things done in the past have come back to bite you in the ass – fits all too well with President Biden’s decision to forgive college loans.
In 2010, when I was living in Texas, writing op-eds published in several newspapers, I recall a critical piece I wrote when then President Obama signed legislation overhauling the student loan program.… read more

While reading Matt Taibbi’s treatise on the endless prosecutorial effort against former President Trump over more than six years, I couldn’t help but think about the cost involved, yes, and I was again reminded how the president delivered on his promises while enduring the process.
While the effort to tie Trump to Russia goes back to 2015, writing about the effort to prosecute him, Taibbi notes that “People have forgotten how long this has been going on. … read more

Yes, after more than five decades, The Peter Principle lives.
In his book, Lawrence J. Peter states simply that The Peter Principle refers to a member of a hierarchy who is promoted until he or she reaches a level at which that individual is no longer competent.
In Sunday’s edition of the left-leaning Arizona Republic, its executive editor, Greg Burton, announced that six-year editorial board member, Elvia Diaz, had been promoted to director of opinions and board chair.… read more

I’ve been critical of Durham’s plodding pace during this probe but he does seem to be finally rounding up people and putting them in positions from which they can’t escape.”
That remark by Stephen Kruiser of PJ Media petty well sums up my feeling regarding Special Counsel John Durham’s effort to nail those responsible for the Russian collusion hoax hanging over President Trump for four years.… read more

If you were J.D. Vance, about to face Rep. Tim Ryan to take the seat being vacated by Sen. Rob Portman, you couldn’t ask for weaker opposition.
We’ve heard about Vance, being endorsed by former President Trump and heavily supported financially by Peter Thiel, however, information about Ryan, his Democrat opposition, has been sparse.… read more

“The lesson learned from 2020 may well be that there’s also a danger of suppressing accurate and relevant stories,” wrote Richard Lempert of Arlington, Virginia to the editor of the Washington Post.
