Citing President Biden’s comment a year ago that “no serious economist thought that the U.S. would enter a period of unchecked inflation” at a time when the U.S. had 5.4 percent inflation, Fox Sunday News Host Shannon Bream asked, “How did the White House get this so wrong?” noting that it’s at 9.1 percent as of this week.… read more

Okay … I will begin with what I will call a pretense emanating from Biden’s staff. They peddled a story to Men’s Journal about those Sketchers sneakers the president was wearing as he stepped off Air Force One at Dover AFB, Delaware.
A pretense because they want us to believe that it was simply “time to loosen up a little bit” wearing those “rocking casual sneakers more often,” when we all know it was an accommodation to the aging Biden, who has made one too many missteps.… read more

Before television, they use to say “Read All About It,” and now it’s “Breaking News!”
I originally sat down to comment on the failure, or lack of the willingness, on the part of the Secret Service to tell us what it learned from the cocaine find in the White House, with this opening quote:
“At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence.”… read more

In recent editions, I have written about the political ideological turnaround of journalist Matt Taibbi, who discovered how the government was censoring what the social media published when Elon Musk selected him to review the Twitter files.
Once the contributing editor to the leftist Rolling Stone magazine, the enlightened Taibbi (he may not like that description) asks in his Racket column, “Where Have All The Liberals Gone?”… read more

I’ve collected an assortment of articles about the candidates for the presidency in 2024, and thought I would share them with you along with my comments. They appear in no special order.
Sen. Tim Scott
In “Could Tim Scott Pull an Upset?,” an opinion piece by Wall Street Journal columnist William A.… read more

When I heard that FBI Director Christopher Wray was going to testify –“grilled” we were told – before the House Judiciary Committee, I had hoped we would finally get some answers on a host of inquiries Republicans have been seeking – Hunter-Biden, the unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago, citizen surveillance, those censorship meetings with social media execs, discrimination against Catholics, threatening parents who question school boards, and Jan.… read more
Commentary
If you were putting together a series of speakers with luminaries of our time who would provide inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and insight, would Dr. Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, Stacey Abrams, and Judy Woodruff be on your list? Certainly not mine.
In a full-page advertisement for the Arizona Speaker Series that appeared in a recent edition of the Arizona Republic, those individuals headed the list of guest speakers in the Series’ October-April schedule. … read more
Commentary
President Biden is full of it, and I think you know what I mean.
From his claim of “13 million new jobs since I was elected – more than any president has ever created in their first two years” – to “the pay for low wage workers has grown at the fastest pace in two decades” to his claim that it’s because “our plan is working; it’s Bidenomics in action.”… read more

As I was drafting my commentary on the Supreme Court’s decisions on affirmative action and student loan forgiveness for my Fourth of July edition, I needed to keep it brief because I had so many topics I wanted to touch on – topics that took the joy out of celebrating America’s birthday.… read more
Commentary
I used to view the Fourth of July as the day we celebrate our patriotism, the day we recognize our independence as a nation, but things have changed.
Oh, there will be fireworks where it is permitted, lots of flags, and perhaps a small parade here and there, and mattress firms and car dealers will be advertising their blockbuster sales, but today, patriotism holds less importance to too many Americans.… read more
