“Even if you hate Trump, even if you despise him, this should terrify you.” – Molly Sturgeon, 55, retired saleswoman.

I know that a number of my readers dislike former President Trump and do not want him be the Republican nominee for president in 2024, but as Americans do you approve of the latest indictment against him and 19 others close to him brought by Georgia’s Fulton County Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis?… read more

It’s early, but campaigning at the Iowa State Fair is now history and the first Republican televised debate is less than a week off, so I thought I would share with you some quotes I have recently noticed in my reading.

A few of you may remember Bernard Goldberg, who earned a reputation as a preeminent reporter while at CBS, if not when he was briefly a contributor at Fox.… read more

“I don’t know that anybody should be satisfied.  This is a terrible moment for our country to have a former president accused of these terribly important crimes.  The only satisfaction is that the system is working.”

That was former first lady, secretary of state and losing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, delighted to be appearing on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC program Monday evening, when the indictment of former President Trump came down.… read more

What else were we to believe? 

While President Biden maintained that he has never discussed business with his son, a note written to Devon Archer on his vice presidential letterhead on January 20, 2011, raises questions.

You’ve heard about all the charges Special Counsel Jack Smith has included in his indictment of former President Trump, but I thought you should know a little about Smith’s background and what’s being said about him.

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, (looking at his watch) I think it was about six hours. I’m leaving in six hours.  If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.  Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.” – Joe Biden, March 2016

That was Biden, two years after leaving office, bragging to an audience at a gathering of the Council on Foreign Relations how he strong-armed Ukraine and threatened that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in loan guarantees if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General  Victor Shoklin.… read more
