I’ve recently chided those who mumble about the price of gas while filling their tank, suggesting consideration for the fact that we are bringing the biggest terrorism regime to its knees, something previous presidents have failed to do.

Those on the left like to say it’s a war we didn’t have to start, not recognizing that we’ve been at war with Iran for more than four decades and President Trump refused to keep kicking the can down the road.… read more

James Carville, former Bill Clinton strategist and one of the media’s favorite “go to’s” for political comment, has openly admitted he has “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS), calling it a “horrific, consuming disease” and saying he wants it to get worse.

In a recent appearance on Politico’s YouTube channel, Carville embraced the label that some critics, including comedian Bill Maher, have used to describe his intense fixation on President Trump.… read more

Here we are with just 21 days until Election Day, November 3, 2026, and the questions mount even though I personally believe the choice is clear.

No question, President Trump has accomplished more in his second term than any other president.  But he’s not on the ballot, you say.  That’s right, but the congressional candidates who support him are there and they aren’t ashamed to say so, even though the opposition, haters of Trump, are using that against them. … read more

As a believer in Constitutional originalism, Jason l. Riley’s column, “Clarence Thomas, Stalwart for the Constitution,” in the Wall Street Journal was of interest to me.  As I was reading it, it was like Justice Samuel Alito was looking over my shoulder.  The smiling photo of him on the cover of Mollie Hemingway’s book, “Alito,” a Father’s Day gift, seemed to be smiling at me from the table next to me.… read more

Commentary

This past week, we mourned the passing of Arizona’s Sen. Jon Kyl, at age 77.

Prior to my retirement as vice president of communications and public affairs with Honeywell, I had the pleasure of knowing the Senator in my government relations role with Honeywell and earlier with Sperry Flight Systems.… read more

I believe I’ve made my position on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clear in a dozen or so blog reports, including her weak foreign policy knowledge demonstrated at the Munich Security Conference in February to her endorsement of Angie Nixon, the Democrat Socialist running for Senate in Florida.

But after scanning several opinion pieces on her that wound up in my stack of stuff, I thought it was time to revisit AOC with the views of others.… read more

Commentary

While some Americans are whining about the price of gas at the pump and higher costs at the supermarket, they’re forgetting that wages have risen faster than inflation with lower-income earners seeing the best gains, though modestly ahead of inflation. 

From July 2025 to July 2026, wages grew 3.5% vs.… read more

I’m back on one of my favorite topics again – accountability. This time it centers on fraud in the state of Minnesota, where those in leadership are all in denial.

However, if you haven’t heard, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released a report, “The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz ad Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Explosion,

They found that senior officials in Minnesota state government, including Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison, were aware of widespread fraud in federally funded social services programs for years, possessed the legal and procedural authority to stop payments and ban fraudulent providers from participating in these programs, but repeatedly failed to act.… read more

Regular readers will recognize that I am again devoting space to the subject of accountability.  In the past four years, I have written eight pieces on the subject, naming individuals, like Hillary Clinton, James Comey and John Brennan, all guilty of an illegal act, but known for avoiding punishment, so far.… read more

Remember the game, Simon Says?  Well, pardon the pun, but I just couldn’t resist a play on Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s name to make my point.  It’s about what El-Sayed has “said” recently. Remarks that can’t help his chances to beat Republican Mike Rogers in his bid for the Senate in Michigan this fall.… read more
