Commentary
Just as I respond to opposing opinions, I like to occasionally call your attention to other writers who agree with me.
Checking my archives in each of the first three months of this year, I devoted space to the subject of responsibility and accountability, usually in disgust of leaders, military and civilian, who failed to accept either.… read more
Commentary
Regular readers know that I have often voiced the need for accountability and justice to be administered to government officials primarily responsible for the loss of life or in the humiliation and ruination of a career.
I’m concerned that the current assault on former President Trump by the Department of Justice and FBI, and the January 6, House committee on the Capitol breach, are both designed to affect the midterm elections. … read more

“We went to Afghanistan almost 20 years ago with clear goals: get those who attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, and make sure Al Qaeda could not use Afghanistan as a base from which to attack us again. We did that.” – President Biden, Aug. 16, 2021
While our foreign policy genius appeared satisfied that our withdrawal from Afghanistan a year ago had cooled the terrorism threat, he said “we’ll not take our eye off the terrorist threat,” as he boasted of our over-the-horizon drone strike ability.… read more
Commentary
In 2001, “If you see something, say something” became a national campaign, launched to raise public awareness of the indicators of terrorism, as well as other suspicious activity, and reporting it to law enforcement.
While listening to President Biden, it occurred to me what he wasn’t saying, so I am devoting this post to things said and not said, seen and not seen.… read more

The “Nimbys” of the Hamptons
Surely, you’ve heard of the Hamptons, the summer playground of the rich and famous. They work on Wall Street and in Hollywood and own homes of $10 million plus or drop $100,000-a-month for a plush rental, some big names, but many you wouldn’t recognize.
“There’s so much money now its nauseating,” a longtime homeowner there told a reporter for Vanity Fair.… read more
Commentary
I don’t watch NBC’s left-leaning Meet the Press for obvious reasons, so when I read that Hillary Clinton made an appearance, I just had to find out what she had to say.
Before I provide you with the highlights, I am compelled to take you back to 2013, when Susan Rice was the fallback to appear on the Sunday news shows in her place, responding to questions about what happened during the Benghazi raid that killed four Americans, including our ambassador.… read more
Commentary
I found it astonishing that within a few days, President Biden talked of a new world order, intimated we might answer Russia’s use of chemicals in kind, suggested that the 82nd Airborne might see action in Ukraine, and most recently he seemed to call for Putin’s ouster through regime change.… read more
Commentary
I have frequently devoted space to call for individuals to be held accountable for their actions. Hillary Clinton for the loss of lives in Benghazi and President Biden for the loss of lives in his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, are two that come to mind.
I’m still hopeful that Special Counsel John Durham will reveal those accountable for the four-year deep state effort to accuse President Trump of colluding with Russians. … read more
Commentary
If you were among the curious souls who watched President Biden’s State of the Union address, you understand my inability to provide my readers with a comprehensive review in my last post. He threw everything into it except the kitchen sink.
I’ll limit my post comments to two topics that caused me to go to the transcript of the address. … read more

“I think it’s really important for people to understand the brilliance with which President Biden is conducting this (Ukraine). This is a man (who) served decades as chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee. He knows the arena. He knows the personalities.” – Nancy Pelosi
Today, as I tuned in to the streaming from the sold-out Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) from Orlando, I saw thousands of people of all ages from across the country, willing to pay $295 for general admission and $7,000 for premium tickets to hear the conservative message. … read more
