“It’s awfully hard to oust a sitting president who wants to run.” -Byron York, Washington Examiner
Yes, but President Biden needs to be told it’s time to step aside.
Regular readers may recall my repeated criticism of Jill Biden for her failure to advise him not to run in 2020, followed by three years of encouragement when the world saw him going downhill.… read more

You may recall how President Biden told world leaders at the G7 summit that “America was back,” and he repeatedly told us how he has restored their confidence in the U.S.
On Thursday, however, Special Counsel Robert K. Hur, investigating the presidents mishandling of classified documents, said “We have considered that, at trial, Mr.… read more

On Day One of his administration, President Biden halted construction of the border wall begun by former President Trump and announced that he was sending an immigration bill to Congress as part of his commitment to modernize our immigration system.
“The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 established a new system to responsibly manage and secure our border, keep our families and communities safe, and better manage migration across the hemisphere.”… read more

The Polls
“While it’s true that national polling doesn’t tell us much because we don’t elect a president with a national popular vote,” writes Matt Margolis of PJ Media, “it can still give us some hints about how the political winds are shifting.”
Margolis quoting Moody’s Analytics :
“They predict Biden will hold Georgia and Nevada despite polls consistently showing Trump leading in those states.”… read more

John Bolton, who considers himself the authority on national security, came out with his op-ed forecasting former President Trump as a “danger to U.S. security,” just in time to be selected for my February Fool’s Day “honor.”

I know, you’re probably tired of reading about windmills. After a quick review of my blog archives, I noted that I have written a great deal about both wind and solar as alternative energy sources, including “Just Whistling in the Wind, about a year ago.
Sorry, but it’s time for a brief update, because President Biden will certainly be talking about his “successes” in combatting climate change in campaign speeches. … read more

Air Power for Peace
All caught up with the Michigan Wolverines taking the National Championship and the political dueling in Iowa and New Hampshire, the story of the testing of the first B-21 Raider stealth bomber wound up on my stack of stuff.
The initial B-21, one of six pre-production models the Air Force plans to acquire, has been making test flights out of Edwards Air Force Base in California since November, but only became known to the public recently.… read more
Commentary
I recall my delight, in 2017, when I read that Bret Stephens was leaving the Wall Street Journal for the New York Times. It was a natural move for someone with leftist opinions on politics, which he also shares with viewers of MSBNC and NBC. Still, the opinions of the Journal’s editorial board, cannot always be counted on to be conservative.… read more

“We need to know who’s gonna sit in the most powerful seat in the world and help us win the united working class,”
Those were the words of United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain officially endorsing President Biden’s reelection on Wednesday, recalling that Biden was the first president to join a union picket line last summer.… read more
