Regular readers will recall the pleasure I get in nominating someone to receive Kramerontheright recognition as my first of the month Fool’s Day recipient, even when it is a bit belated this month.
My belatedness provided me with an opportunity to select from a host of Washington fools, reminding me of the book, “Ship of Fools,” written by Tucker Carlson about five years ago.… read more
Commentary
Every so often, there’s a timely surfacing of several issues that give me the opportunity to comment on how they, intertwined, are taking America down a path to ruin led by the left’s progressive movement.
In this edition, using the news, I will attempt to explain how the Democrat Party, unions, academia, environmental activists, and an uninformed public, all aided by a compliant media, are responsible for the ill-advised transformation of our democracy.… read more

Regular readers will recall my displeasure with our deteriorating military forces under the Biden administration, from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, a retired general, retiring Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, and the individual service chiefs.
The study of critical race theory, renaming our military bases in the spirit of wokeism, and the adherence to addressing the existential threat of climate change has replaced the serious study of warfare and preparedness.… read more

For years I have been poking fun at Congress, especially the Senate, that insists on referring to itself as the “most August body,” or “hallowed ground” as Sen. Robert Byrd once called it.

Commentary
Trump supporters are feeling better about his decision not to participate in the first Republican debate, even though it’s because of his showing in those demandable polls.
He didn’t participate in the first Republican debate, but has made recent appearances with unlikely moderators that gives him exposure to broader audiences.… read more
Commentary
I have a routine of setting aside single-subject material in an effort to provide you with the broadest view of a subject when I decide to comment on that topic.
BEFORE I BEGIN with that topic, the news that the Washington Post leftist columnist David Ignatius has opined in the Post that “I don’t think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for reelection,” is stunning. … read more

“Trump Actually Has Pretty Good Odds of Getting Back to the White House. Yes, he can win.”
After reading the above headline over the opinion piece in the left-leaning Politico Magazine last month, I set it aside with other commentary on the presidential election for an occasion like this to weigh other opinions.… read more
