Here are my observations and opinions on my selected news of the day.
THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC “newspaper” continues to carry out the late John McCain’s vengeance against President Trump.
Leftist columnist Laurie Roberts, an anti-Trumper, asks, “Must we cancel democracy to MAGA?” in her column critical of the Arizona State GOP cancelling a presidential primary leading up to the 2020 election.
It didn’t matter that there is precedent for this in both parties. It was another opportunity to attack President Trump. The Democrats did so for Bill Clinton in 1996 and for Barack Obama in 2012, while Republicans did so for George W. Bush in 2004.
“ … by canceling 1.3 million Republican voters’ rights to choose their nominee for president of the United States,” writes Roberts, repeating it twice. “The party that used to concern itself with fighting voter fraud now has decide simply to cancel voting.”
Certainly, she understands why a party – Democrat or Republican – would make such a move, but she couldn’t resist recalling Trump’s complaints of rigging in the 2016 election to say he is “rigging one of his own.”
How ridiculous. And for her to say “Trump, evidently, is afraid his support isn’t as solid as he claims,” is more so. But then, she contributed it in homage to McCain.

DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES are attacking Apology Joe Biden, but are too timid to refer to him by name, writes Ken Thomas in the Wall Street Journal.
“We can’t ask other people to vote for someone we don’t believe in,” said Elizabeth Warren. “The party couldn’t ‘play it safe’ in choosing a nominee,” said Cory Booker. Julian Castro pointed to the need for nominating “a new, exciting face.”
While Bernie Sanders recalled how different his voting record was with “Joe,” his campaign advisor, David Sirota, said, “We need a Democrat nominee with good judgment who knows that when the details are ignored, working people get left behind.”
THE NEW YORK TIMES, while crediting President Trump for helping Dan Bishop win in North Carolina’s 9th District, considered a bell weather victory, claimed the president’s core support “will be insufficient to win him a second term without improving his standing with suburbanites and women who reluctantly backed him in 2016. While Bishop’s opponent, Democrat Dan McCready, barely won in the midterms, but was defeated by three percentage points on Tuesday. Gregory Murphy soundly defeated his Democrat opponent in NC’s 3rd District.
Democrat McCready spent $3 million to Bishop’s $1.5 million.
SPEAKING OF THE NEW YORK TIMES – While referring to the 9/11 event, the “newspaper” tweeted, “18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.”
A grade school child could tell you that it takes a pilot, or in this case, a hijacker trained to fly, to “aim” an aircraft. Anything to avoid referring to Islamic terrorists.
The Times was quick to delete the tweet.
The Times also wants you to believe that so-called assault weapons kill people.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
