Biden’s Misguided Attempt to Save his Party from a Midterm Disaster

Commentary

In my August 28, 2022 post, I took you through a timeline from President Biden’s inaugural day “unifier” speech, in which he called for “stopping the shouting and lowering the temperature” of the rhetoric, and his current attack on supporters of former President Trump as extremists and semi-fascists.

That’s just one of several reversals we’ve seen in Biden since he campaigned and won the presidency, watching him move from a moderate to the radical progressive left in just eight months.… read more

Returning to My Stack of Stuff

Commentary

A glance at my stack of stuff at the corner of my computer desk tells me it’s time to share some interesting items I’ve been saving to share with you.

Election News

If the Election Were Today

I would have thought the gap would be wider, but Rasmussen Reports’ Generic Congressional Ballot at the end of the week shows that 46 percent of likely voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 41 percent would vote for the Democrat.… read more

Commentary

President Biden was in Massachusetts Wednesday toying around with the idea of declaring a climate emergency.  A real emergency calls for immediate action. 

“If this is an emergency, call 911.”

But when the president says, “Let me be clear, climate change is an emergency,” he allows that “in the coming weeks, I’m going to use the power I have as president to turn these words into format, official government actions …”

While he talks about heatwaves and drought, no one reminds him that these are short-term atmospheric conditions of weather. … read more

Noting the Slow Wheels of Justice and Presidential Disinformation

Commentary

The Wheels of Justice

We are often reminded of the metaphor the wheels of justice turn slowly.  We endured the years of Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian collusion and are now awaiting the findings of John Durham’s follow-on investigation. 

May be understandable, since those investigations involved subpoenas, hundreds of interviews and the review of thousands of documents.… read more

With Inflation, Democrats Struggling to Get Traction on Their Issues

Commentary

In recent posts, I have addressed the left’s false accusations that the Republican Party is dismantling democracy, properly attributing their remarks and refuting their charges.

I once believed that the issue of democracy was going to be the Democrat Party’s mantra going into the midterms, as every spokesperson on the left appeared to have his or her talking points.… read more

Barring An Unforced Error, Vance Should Beat Ryan Handily in Ohio

Commentary

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
