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

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
Commentary
I apologize. This is intended to be a conservative political blog, but I am simply tired of writing about the corruption of our current president and his inadequacies, the outlook for former President Trump and the other wannabe’s, the sorry state of our sovereignty with the open border, assisting Ukraine and now Israel, and of course the lack of unity among Republicans in the U.S.… read more
