I’m Back in the Saddle Again

Commentary

From the lyrics to the song made famous by former cowboy star Gene Autry, “I’m back in the saddle again,” after taking a brief respite to enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Now that I’m back, there are several stories that call for commentary on my part. In covering my first topic, I will be checking off two topics on my list.… read more

Democrats’ One-Sided Hearing on Jan. 6 Getting Transparency

 Commentary

As a refresher, let’s remember that then Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected five Republican House members selected by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to serve on the Jan. 6 Committee, questioning the impact that their appointments may have on “the integrity of the investigation.”

Then she allowed RINO’s Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to represent the Republican side, both with a mission to get Trump.… read more

Commentary

Unless you are an old movie buff, the name Margaret Sullivan won’t mean a thing to you, but there’s another Margaret Sullivan, who writes opinion pieces for the left-leaning newspaper The Guardian, that claims to be independent.

Not a reader of The Guardian, my thanks go to journalist Matt Taibbi for drawing my attention to it in his column in which he writes about Sullivan’s concern that the media has not adequately communicated “the dangers of a Trump win,” after noting that Joe Biden trails in key states.… read more

Retreads: Okay for Your Car, But Proven Poor Choice in Government

Commentary

Contrary to commonly held beliefs, studies have shown that retread tires offer reliability comparable to new tires, according to the National Highway Safety Administration, after concluding two decades of study.

A retread in government, someone who has previously served in a certain capacity in an earlier administration, however, is rarely effective.… read more

‘Higher Education May Have Finally Crossed the Line’

Commentary

I haven’t commented extensively on the rash of antisemitism demonstrations taking place around the world, especially in the United States, except for a brief comment about misguided college students, who no-doubt are being paid by the likes of George Soros’ Open Society, and the lying Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

Like me, perhaps you have been skeptical whether they know why they are waving Palestinian flags and yelling obscenities about Jews.… read more

Former Auto Exec Critical of Ambitious All-Electric Goal

Commentary

By coincidence, I was reading fellow blogger Francis Menton’s piece on unelected bureaucrats who use their positions of power in regulatory agencies to control our lives, when remarks by Bob Lutz, who spent years in the auto industry at GM, Ford and Chrysler, came to my attention.

Perhaps the most obvious abuse of power we experience is in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) where they have a broad mission to protect our health and environment on land, in the air and on the water.… read more
