Chances are good that you’ve never heard of Michael J. Morell, so allow me to introduce you to him, because you’ll soon be seeing him mentioned frequently in the news, and you need to know why.
Morell is one of the 51 former intelligence officers who signed a letter suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian disinformation operation. … read more

Driving a golf cart to the parking lot to transfer clubs to our cars recently, I noticed that my golfing cart partner had a new car, a beautiful cherry-red Lexus SUV. He shared that while he and his wife decided to downsize, needing only one car, he couldn’t bring himself to go electric.… read more

Since the midterms, much has been written about the need for the Republican Party to change its view of early voting and mail-in ballots.
I personally believe everyone should vote in person on Election Day, unless a voter is travelling or perhaps disabled, and in those cases an absentee ballot should be required.… read more

Regular readers will recall my frequent blog posts in which I insisted that individuals responsible for wrongdoing leading up to the 2020 election be identified and held accountable, and that I support the new House Republican majority effort to identify them.
I predicted that Democrats, fully aware that the FBI colluded with Twitter and other social media sources just before the election to suppress the story of Joe Biden’s family corruption, would criticize the Republican effort. … read more

As a political news wonk, I look forward to each State of the Union address in search of a memorable line or two that Americans can hang their hat on.
The day and morning before the address, news anchors repeatedly ask their guests what they think the president will say, and what he should say. … read more

Sure, you’ve heard that phrase before. So have I.
While researching its origins, I found this appropriate meaning for its usage:
“If you describe someone as whistling in the wind, you mean they are trying unsuccessfully to change something which cannot be changed.”
It’s appropriate because it applies to the effort to have us believe that wind power is capable of supplying us with a reasonable generation of electricity cheaper than fossil fuels.… read more

If anybody told me that I would one day be quoting Jane Fonda in my blog, I would have said they were ready for the looney bin, but her latest rant was just too good to pass up.
Fonda, now 85, made news this week when she blamed the climate crisis on racism during an appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”… read more

“Who’s in charge in the White House?” That question surfaces every time Biden, the placeholder, says or does something that reflects negatively on his competency, his inability to carry out the duties of president.
Jill Biden is frequently on hand to steer him in the direction of the lectern, but when he gets there, he needs a Teleprompter. … read more

By now, regular readers of Kramerontheright are familiar with my selection of a “Fool of the Month,” not just on April 1, but on the first day of every month.
When I saw the Washington Examiner headline – “It’s Official: Trump’s tax cuts paid for themselves” – I was reminded of the Democrats who got hysterical over the cuts, and I thought ‘who better to recognize as my February 1, “Fool(s) of the Month” in memory of their hysterics in 2017?’… read more

Here are a few topics I selected from my stack of stuff.
A Davos Follow Up
If you read my January 24, 2023 commentary on the humor from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, you will appreciate Gerard Baker’s thoughts from his Wall Street Journal column.
While noting that trying to forecast the state of the world by gauging the mood of its participants is about as valuable an exercise as flipping a coin, Baker referenced a 50-year analysis by Financial Times in which the publication found that the consensus of the elites who gather there each year is as likely to be wrong as right.… read more
