2024 Presidential Election Campaign Report No. 6

Commentary

Before I cover the latest news along the campaign trails, I would be remiss if I didn’t wish my subscribers on the distaff side a Happy Valentine’s Day.  Your regular reading of my blog is appreciated.

FIRST, A LITTLE HUMOR – Fox’s Greg Gutfeld, now the king of late night, calling attention to the national poll revealing 86 percent of Americans think Biden is too old to serve another term in his monologue: “Think about it … 86 percent of Americans agree … Joe Biden’s promise to unify us finally came true … he brought us together.”read more

Anticipating Media Coverage of the 2024 Presidential Campaigns

Commentary

When I noted that MSNBC and CNN made decisions not to provide live coverage of former President Trump’s victory speech in Iowa, depriving viewers of legitimate news, I began thinking about the anti-Trump bias that continues to exist within much of the media.

To refresh your memory, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow announced that her network chose to protect its viewers from Trump’s supposed “penchant for lying,” stating, “We will let you know if there’s any news made in the speech if there’s anything noteworthy, something substantive and important.”… read more

It’s Time to Go, Joe

Commentary

“It’s awfully hard to oust a sitting president who wants to run.” -Byron York, Washington Examiner

Former President Trump Is Indicted While Hillary Quietly Pays Meager Fine

Commentary

How often have we heard ‘nobody’s above the law,’ and how about the denial that there are two tiers of justice?

How Taxpayers are Funding Research Supporting the Administration’s Agenda in Climate Change and DEI

Commentary

Years ago, when concern for global warming began to heat up – pardon the pun – and climate change became part of the terminology, I recall writing about the plethora of studies coming out of our universities and think tanks that supported the government’s environmental agenda.

The U.S. has funneled billions, yes, billions, to the United Nations to fund the work of the International Panel on Climate Change, where funds go to hundreds of climate scientists in the development of their annual report, designed to scare the hell out of us.… read more

While ‘Get Trump’ Continues, So Does His Presidential Reelection Candidacy in 2024

Commentary

I recognize that a number of my readers do not want former President Trump to run again in 2024.  They’re not those who have been classified in the past as Never Trumpers.  Some have tired of the distractions of his legal battles, yet others have simply developed a dislike of his demeanor.… read more

Modern Day ‘Chicken Little’ Issues New Warning of Global Warming

                                                            Commentary

Surely, you are familiar with the folk tale of Chicken Little, who was struck by an acorn falling from one of the trees, and was sure the sky was falling. 

Over the years, Chicken Little has become almost synonymous with alarmism, as a description of someone or group needlessly stoking fear.… read more

Trump’s Support is Reportedly Slipping; So Where are the Challengers?

Commentary

There are several potential Republican candidates for president in 2024 who are waiting for the right time to announce their candidacy – Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, and Chris Sununu.  They all have excellent resumes, but can they successfully take on former President Trump?  Yes, possibly, but any others considering the race might just as well not waste their time and ours.… read more
