I’m back at the keyboard after taking a little time off. I followed the vote for Kevin McCarthy, I waded through the volume of Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss’ findings in the Twitter files, and most recently noted President Biden’s photo op in El Paso.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Just a few brief observations.… read more

In my last blog post I unapologetically wrote that I would not be selecting my man or woman of the year and that I would not be writing a year in review of 2022. It is so old hat.
Embarrassingly, however, the Arizona Republic’s left-leaning editorial board decided to name WNBA player Brittney Griner its ‘Arizonan of the Year,’ and in doing so screwed-up its lead paragraph saying, “A week before the Russian Army invaded Afghanistan, Britney Griner ….”… read more

Selecting a man or woman of the year and reviewing the year just passed is old hat and I don’t intend to waste space here with it. I just have a few items I found both interesting and humorous that I want to share with you.
Those Trump Tax Returns
Since former President Trump refused to release his tax returns, the left has continued an effort to gain access to them, seeking an opportunity to embarrass him. … read more
Commentary
It’s Christmas Eve Day, a good day to put the ugly past political year in the rearview mirror, but not before one last critical commentary.
The Spectator headline probably said it all: “Democrats and Republicans agree … on wasting taxpayer dollars.”
It’s safe to say that no one in the Senate read the contents of the 4,155-page bill, but, hey, they had to get home for the holidays before the winter storm hit.… read more
Commentary
By now, regular readers know how strongly I feel about demanding accountability for wrongdoing. On a number of occasions, I have written about individuals who have eluded charges, not because they are not culpable, but primarily because of who they are or who they represent.
Now, with the House January 6 Committee’s partisan investigation complete, it is asking the Department of Justice to consider prosecution of former President Trump on four criminal charges, including “inciting or assisting an insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to make false statements to investigators and conspiracy to defraud the US government.”… read more
Commentary
Over the years, we have seen a number of occasions when we were reminded that the wheels of justice turn exceedingly slow.
Regular readers will recall my persistence in finding individuals accountable for wrongdoing regardless of how long it takes and regardless if no jail time results.
For instance, I never believed we would see Hillary Clinton serve any time for her dereliction of duty over the deaths of four Americans during the Benghazi raid, for her mishandling of classified documents and thousands of missing e-mails, nor for her involvement in the fabrication of the Russian dossier.… read more
Commentary
I recently wrote of a new talking point emanating from the left in which the new House majority would be accused of spending all of its time on investigations.
One involving Hunter Biden and his White House access-peddling and another seeking the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his failure to secure our southern border. … read more
Commentary
I endeavor to keep my commentaries brief because I don’t want to lose you as a reader, but I occasionally find it necessary to expound on a topic in an effort to present the whole story objectively.
In addition, I prefer to keep each post focused on a single topic, but like today, I feel the need to give you my thoughts on several topics as concisely as I am able.… read more
Commentary
‘Hey, hey, get your program here …you can’t tell the players without a program … hey, hey …’That used to be a familiar shout out one would hear from someone holding a stack of programs as you entered a stadium for a sporting event.
For those of you just coming in from the dark to learn that our politicized FBI was complicit in censoring information about Hunter Biden and the corruption of the Biden family, this should be of interest. … read more
Commentary
Former President Trump is in the news and again charging fake news with reporting what he said with “more disinformation and lies.” Writing in Truth Social last Saturday, he suggested “the termination of all rules … even those found in the Constitution,” as he again returned to voter fraud.
It comes less than a month after his announced plan to again run for the presidency in 2024. … read more
