While anti -Trumpers have been working to keep the former president off ballots, I find it interesting that President Biden, the self-proclaimed defender of democracy, who promotes free and fair elections, is attempting to keep his challengers, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., off the ballot.

Over the years, those of us who watch political moves by both parties, commonly referred to as dirty tricks, especially look for what is termed an “October Surprise,” an unexpected event in the waning days of the campaigns designed to impact voters, that turns out to be not so “unexpected.” … read more

Last month, I wrote that it was Donald Trump’s Republican Party now, including changes at the RNC that included the resignation of Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and the naming of Michael Whatley and Lara Trump as co-chairs.

I chose not to elaborate on that change, believing that the former president, as the presumptive presidential candidate, should have his team there just as new CEOs and even football coaches often bring their own staffs.… read more

I know you’re probably tired of this subject, but I wouldn’t be writing about it again if I didn’t consider it vital for you to get a handle on it with the election in about 200 days.

Former President Trump has made it an election issue, warning auto workers that President Biden’s pressure on auto manufacturers to produce more EVs will result in job reductions, as fewer workers are required to produce an EV.… read more

In Donald Trump we have seen a man skillful in communications, although mind you not by the book.  We saw it in the days of “Apprentice,” when he entered the 2016 presidential race, and the rest is history.

It came to light again on Tuesday morning, when I tuned in to the news on Fox Business News, as I frequently do, when I was treated to host Stuart Varney’s “My Take,” his opinion segment on “Varney & Co.” … read more

While most of the political news of late has been over the legal issues facing former President Trump and the frailties of President Biden, news of sudden Republican departures from the House and the outlook for a Republican Senate in 2024 are getting notice.

With so much going on in politics, other topics of interest wound up on my stack of stuff.  Just as I was beginning to write about the latest global story of fraud in the selling of climate change, another climate fraud was highlighted in my daily newspaper, the left-leaning Arizona Republic.… read more

With political campaign happenings soaking up the space I allow myself for each edition, there were four stories related to the January 6 breach of the Nation’s Capitol that I was holding in my stack of stuff for a future story, when WHAM, a single word – bloodbath – gave the story priority.… read more

WOULDN’T YOU THINK President Biden could walk into the Oval Office to meet and exchange pleasantries with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar without having prepared cheat cards with the PM’s photo and a reproduction of the flag of Ireland imprinted at the top?

Yes, if he possessed the mental acuity we would normally expect of our president.… read more

ONLY IN THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE can an “apology” become a “regret.”  When questioned during an exchange with Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC, President Biden said, “I shouldn’t have used ‘illegal,’ it’s ‘undocumented.’

‘So you regret using that word?” asked Capehart.  “Yes,” Biden responded.

But Olivia Dalton, principal deputy press secretary, living up to her title, declared that President Biden “absolutely did not apologize” for his use of the term “an illegal.”… read more

Commentary

Alright, we’re stuck with a choice of former President Trump or President-Biden much to the disgust of voters.  Members of both parties would prefer someone else.

In the beginning, there were a dozen or so candidates for president on the right.  If they had a modicum of support, they had an opportunity to stand on the debate stage and show their stuff. … read more
