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

Year Early ‘October Surprises’ Broadly Hit Biden Campaign

Commentary

Normally, an “October Surprise” is an event designed by the opposition to disrupt a campaign the month before an election, however, President Biden’s campaign was the recipient of several events this month, a year early, that reflect poorly not only on his character but his leadership.

Boo Hoo – No Tears Here for Auto Manufacturers

Commentary

Regular readers will surely recall that for years I have been highly critical of automakers for giving up on free enterprise and the ability of the consumer to determine the cars and trucks they preferred, and caved to the whims of government.

When I saw the headline – The Auto Makers Cry for EV Mercy – over an opinion piece by the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, it was my opportunity to again address this issue.… read more

It’s Time for a Change

Commentary

I apologize. This is intended to be a conservative political blog, but I am simply tired of writing about the corruption of our current president and his inadequacies, the outlook for former President Trump and the other wannabe’s, the sorry state of our sovereignty with the open border, assisting Ukraine and now Israel, and of course the lack of unity among Republicans in the U.S.… read more

Biden Administration Signals Weakness

Commentary

Anyone who is anyone in Washington knows that Iran is the biggest funder of terrorism, yet President Biden, who undoubtedly knows that too, again showed his weakness after the dastardly attack by Hamas on Israel, with his warning to Iran, a milquetoast “be careful.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, all know of Iran’s complicity in the attack, but they too were unwilling to state it. … read more
