In my last post I covered material from my “stack of stuff” on immigration, inflation, Biden corruption, the midterms and climate change, leaving you with “more stuff in my next post.” Here goes.

It’s bad enough that we have a president who is clueless on energy matters, but he hired two individuals ill-equipped to provide proper guidance to him at a time when it is needed most. … read more

Whenever I write on single issues, some excellent material ends up in my stack of stuff. I save it because it’s stuff you need to know and may not have heard or read about.
Excuse me, but I have to again begin with a bit of humor because there’s so much negative stuff in the news. … read more

On 17 occasions during President Biden’s press conference remarks Wednesday, he sought our attention, saying “look,” as if what followed would be something of note. It usually wasn’t.
Among them were, “look, we’re not there yet … look, I’m a capitalist … look, I didn’t overpromise … well look, as you know … look, I’ve laid out … look, I still contend … look, think of what we did … look, what I said …” and “look, I made it clear …” but perhaps “look, maybe I’m kidding myself …” was the most telling.… read more
