Commentary
In my last blog edition, I touched on the subject of lies in politics, in which I included President Biden’s big lie about climate change, with his claim that his spending bill, the largest expenditure ever made by the federal government to slow global warming, provides $555 billion for programs that could significantly curb fossil fuel emissions.… read more
Commentary
After the failed assassination attempt on former President Trump, we just knew President Biden’s plea for “the need to lower the temperature in our politics,” as he called for “a cooling down of heated political rhetoric,” were just words.
Two days later NBC aired a taped of Lester Holt questioning Biden about his choice of words that could have fueled the shooting.… read more

The flurry of appearances by Vice President Harris this week, putting the spotlight on her, not President Biden, are intended to grease the skids for her so to speak leading up to the DNC convention, where she will become the official candidate.
While these appearances have been orchestrated to give her more exposure beyond the previous short news clips showing her as an unserious candidate making silly remarks followed by laughter, they have given Republicans an opening to reveal the real Kamala.… read more
Commentary
After a breakfast earlier this week, a friend commented on the sheer volume of political news of late, knowing of course that as a political commentator I am in the thick of it.
We didn’t know of President Biden’s decision to drop out of the race at the time.… read more

“What a revoltin development this is.” – William Bendix (aka Chester A. Riley)
It’s almost like an episode from the 1940s radio program and the 1950s television series, Life of Riley. Chester used to concoct a scheme to get a raise in pay or a supervisory position at the Cunningham Aircraft Plant, only to fail due to a miscalculation, and as the program ended, we would hear the quivery voice of Chester burst out with “what a revoltin development this is.”… read more

Ironically, I recently shared with a friend the memory of New York Yankee Lou Gehrig’s July 4, 1939 speech. Standing before a microphone in Yankee Stadium, having been diagnosed with an ALS disease, Gehrig refuted what he had been reading about “the bad break I got … yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth,” as he spoke of the kindness of fans over his 17 years in baseball.… read more
Commentary
I had hoped President Biden, in his rare address from the Oval Office Sunday night, would turn the page on White House disinformation and deliver a message calling for unity.
Still, I couldn’t help but be reminded of his 2020 inaugural speech, in which he said, “I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but to unify,” a promise unfulfilled.… read more
Commentary
After publishing yesterday’s edition on the subject of President Biden’s heated rhetoric with a downright dirty personal attack on former President Trump in Detroit, I was encouraged to hear similar commentary in the media.
I noted that even the left-leaning New York Times reported the reversal in Biden’s messaging since he began his election campaign. … read more
Commentary
Ironically, prior to the assassination attempt on former President Trump, I had drafted an edition of my blog about President Biden’s sudden shift of personal attacks on Trump.
While Trump has been talking about how he was going to make America great again, Biden went to Detroit and other Michigan locations and attacked Trump the man, Trump the convicted felon, Trump the rapist, and Trump the man of multiple bankruptcies. … read more
Commentary
Seemingly, a day doesn’t go by without someone in the media, or someone being interviewed, voices concern that if former President Trump wins, he will do this or that, even though he didn’t do so in his first four years; like retribution against Hillary Clinton.
Most likely, they’re simply trying to stir up a controversy to make news – fake news – however, in doing so, they are spreading disinformation. … read more
