Unless you are an old movie buff, the name Margaret Sullivan won’t mean a thing to you, but there’s another Margaret Sullivan, who writes opinion pieces for the left-leaning newspaper The Guardian, that claims to be independent.

Not a reader of The Guardian, my thanks go to journalist Matt Taibbi for drawing my attention to it in his column in which he writes about Sullivan’s concern that the media has not adequately communicated “the dangers of a Trump win,” after noting that Joe Biden trails in key states.… read more

Commentary

It has been a few days since I offered my commentary on the political scene, and I have again tapped my stack of stuff for topics that have not been appropriately covered by the mainstream media.

Biden and the UAW

President Biden was back on the road again touting union auto workers in Belvidere, Illinois the site of a Stellantis plant, and again quoting his Dad, who said, “Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. … read more

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

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

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

Commentary

Like me, you’ve probably been left to wonder the outcome of a story after reading an article or watching a newscast.  You search for it the next day without success. Frustrating.  In that vein, Bret Baier at Fox occasionally includes a feature – What ever happened to – on his evening newscast.… read more

Commentary

Backstory, a term used in journalism, refers to material gathered in developing a piece that is not included, or cut, before it is published, when a decision is made to omit something for brevity.

Today, I plan to provide you with some interesting backstory material I chose not to use in recent blog coverage.… read more

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.

If the left thought that the disarray in the House selecting a new speaker would slow down the investigation of Biden corruption, they were wrong.… read more

Commentary

As usual, my stack of stuff I want to comment on has grown in the past few days.  It’s time to share my thoughts with you.

The New Speaker

The few times I saw Rep. Mike Johnson interviewed over the years, I was impressed with his thoughtful, forthright responses to questions.… read more

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
