Connecticut has its two Democrat Senators Murphy and Blumenthal, and so does Virginia with Tim Keane and Mark Warner, all afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, always ready to respond negatively to President Trump’s Truth social media messages or executive orders.  The leftist news anchors at CNN and MS NOW know who to call for comment.… read more

I’m returning after a brief hiatus to touch on President Trump’s decision to finally end the era of Iran’s nuclear threat and terrorist activities around the world.

While President Trump has unleashed the power of our military, with the help of Netanyahu’s Israeli forces against Iran, to do what decades of past presidents only talked about doing, the pundits are ecstatic.… read more

The accompanying photo appearing in the Wall Street Journal, picturing Taliban security personnel on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, succeeded in again raising my ire over the Biden administration’s irresponsible withdrawal of Afghanistan.

I’ve written about the chaos at Abbey Gate at Hami Karzai International Airport used for the withdrawal rather than Bagram Air Base, where proper security was possible. … read more

We finally have a president, a Republican president, who is doing what presidents of both parties in recent history failed to do, putting an end to Iranian terror.

“For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted ‘Death to America’ and waged and unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops and innocent people in many countries,” said President Trump in announcing a massive strategy to bring Iran’s despicable leadership to their knees.… read more

“I love him.  I don’t want to hear nothing you got to say about that racist stuff,” said Forlesia Cook, a black grandmother whose grandson was murdered in Washington DC during his deployment as a member of the National Guard.

It was genuine, coming from someone unaccustomed to public speaking, let alone in the White House with President Trump at her side, and the audience in the East Room of the White House recognizing Black History Month warmly responded as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.… read more

I know, it’s been a week since I last shared with you my comments on a variety of topics, but it doesn’t mean there wasn’t material worth writing about, so here goes.

Democrats Embarrass Selves

Three Democrats who are often referred to as presidential hopefuls – Newsom, Ocasio-Cortez and Whitmer – managed to embarrass themselves and their party while participating in the Munich Security Conference

With his recent embarrassing appearance at the World Economic Conference in Davos, Switzerland still on the minds of those of us who follow these events, Newsom again chose to attack Trump, but in doing so he belittled foreign leaders for “rolling over” for the White House, suggesting that they look “pathetic on the world stage,” while not realizing how he looks.… read more

When I saw that Zubayr Al-Bakoush, the mastermind of the deadly 2012 attack on our Benghazi, Libya compound, had been brought to the U.S. for prosecution, it brought back memories, so vivid that it seemed like the attack happened just yesterday.

I was living in the Hill Country of Texas then, writing opinion pieces for several weeklies and occasionally the San Antonio Express-News. … read more

Commentary

Since the one-year mark of President Trump’s second term, I have been musing the reviews from my stack of stuff.  You’ll get a sense of what the media thinks in the mixed bag of thoughts I’ll share with you.

“Trump’s many 2025 wins clearly showed why we were right to vote for him,” Nicole Russell, USA Today

“From the moment Trump began his second term, we saw one of the busiest administrations in recent history enact changes for the better at a frenetic, unprecedented pace.… read more

Commentary

After Janet Yellen at Treasury, Scott Bessent has been a breath of fresh air, not only because he knows his stuff and is open to new ideas. But that’s especially helpful when you’re working for a guy like President Trump, an idea machine without the words status quo in his vocabulary. … read more

Commentary

When the Democrat’s National Committee decided last month not to release its much-ballyhooed autopsy of its losses in the 2024 election, they reasoned that the decision was made to avoid another public debate on the party’s weaknesses. Smart move.

Reportedly, the document contained comments based on hundreds of interviews with operatives in all 50 states. … read more
