The importance of research, nurtured over many years of journalistic reporting and as an Air Force historian, has aided me as I attempt to give you information not normally provided by the media.
While researching the background of Special Counsel Jack Smith, I learned of prosecutorial losses under his watch as the head of the Justice Department’s public integrity unit, 2010 to 2015, namely his conviction of former Virginia governor Robert McDonnell, that was overturned by the Supreme Court.… read more

In the past three years, I have celebrated the anniversary of D-Day in this blog, including photographs of me on the cliffs overlooking the beaches of Normandy, my wife and I visited in 1999.

Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Accountability Committee, finally got a look at that document a whistleblower claimed contained information that then Vice President Biden was involved in a $5 million bribery scheme.

On this Memorial Day weekend, I want to recognize the men and women in uniform who have given their lives in support of America and the Constitution.

Biden-Trump
While former President Trump currently has a wide lead looking ahead to 2024, and a majority of Americans have made it clear they don’t want President Biden to run again, I keep hearing that Biden would win again in a Trump-Biden general election.
