This is the continuing story of how CEOs of our automobile companies took President Biden for his word when he told them he would have their backs, providing subsidies to produce electric vehicles if they would transform their factories to build them, and a nationwide network of charging stations to support them.… read more

An Unusual Approval
Arguably one of the smartest men on Wall Street, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, not a conservative, warned Biden and Democrats against continued demonization of Trump and MAGA voters, suggesting it could backfire on them.

When I read that E. Jean Carroll, during court testimony, state that Donald Trump had “shattered her reputation,” claiming that he had defamed her during his presidency, by publicly impugning her honesty, her motive, and her sanity after she published a story accusing him of sexual abuse, I too, questioned her motive.… read more

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
“While CO2 is portrayed now as the cause of damaging extreme weather, our research indicates these extremes are not becoming more intense or frequent; thus CO2 cannot be the cause of something not occurring.” – John Cristy, Climatologist and Professor of Atmospheric Science, University of Alabama

NOTE: Before I offer my commentary on matters political, I want to thank you for your indulgence in my recent blogs on the University of Michigan football team. It was a great year for the maize and blue, beating Ohio State again, defeating Iowa in the Big Ten Championship game, the semi-playoff victory over Alabama, and Monday’s defeat of the Washington Huskies to become the National Champions of college football.… read more
Commentary
On New Year’s Day, I wrote about the challenge the Michigan Wolverines would face in the semi-playoff game with the Alabama Crimson Tide. It was a tight game as I imagined it would be, but the Maize and Blue came through victorious.
Since that game, I have had considerable difficulty in thinking about the political scene, the subject matter this blog should be addressing. … read more
Commentary
