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.”
The op-ed, published in the Wall Street Journal, follows his Tuesday appearance on ABC News’ Good Morning America with its left-leaning host George Stephanopoulos, as he began his pitch for the new edition of his memoir decidedly designed to stop Trump’s return to the White House.… read more

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

I know that a number of my readers do not like Donald Trump, and they do not want to see him back in the White House, but as a fellow in the social media recently asked, “Are you going to take your football and go home, or are you going to help defeat the Democrats?”… read more

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.
