Biden’s Misguided Attempt to Save his Party from a Midterm Disaster

Commentary

In my August 28, 2022 post, I took you through a timeline from President Biden’s inaugural day “unifier” speech, in which he called for “stopping the shouting and lowering the temperature” of the rhetoric, and his current attack on supporters of former President Trump as extremists and semi-fascists.

That’s just one of several reversals we’ve seen in Biden since he campaigned and won the presidency, watching him move from a moderate to the radical progressive left in just eight months.… read more

Draining the Swamp Still Necessary, Though Seemingly a Fruitless Endeavor

Commentary

 Donald Trump came to Washington as an outsider with the pledge to drain the swamp, and in many respects, he was successful, but he obviously didn’t really understand the depth of the deep state, nor the audacity of its bureaucrats to block attempts to harness their power.

As president, Trump worked tirelessly to make Washington accountable to the American people. … read more

Politics and Climate Change News Provides Fodder for the Ill-informed

Commentary

When former football star Herschel Walker, a Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia, began attacking his opponent, Raphael Warnock, as one “who only cares about making a better life for himself, not the people of Georgia,” I decided to look into it. 

People talk about wanting fresh talent and term limits on those who have made millions in Congress, yet Walker is one of those GOP candidates being rapped as unelectable due to his inexperience.… read more

Democrats Chose Insults Over Unity

Commentary

Joe Biden was elected to be the great unifier and his inaugural address was billed as his “Unity Speech.”  Let’s go back to that day.

“On this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation.  And I ask every American to join me in this cause. … read more

Zuckerberg Revelation of FBI Interference Further Evidence of Rigged Election

Commentary

Regular readers of this blog know that I contend that Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election was the result of deep state suppression of Biden family corruption in the weeks leading up to election day.  The election was rigged, but not by wide-spread voter fraud as the former president often insists.… read more

The Chickens Have Come Home to Roost

Commentary

The saying – “the chickens have come home to roost” – with its meaning that bad things done in the past have come back to bite you in the ass – fits all too well with President Biden’s decision to forgive college loans.

In 2010, when I was living in Texas, writing op-eds published in several newspapers, I recall a critical piece I wrote when then President Obama signed legislation overhauling the student loan program.… read more

Common Ground: An Impossible Political Goal

Commentary

A centrist friend of mine recently sent me a link to a transcript of a focus group organized to determine if individuals from the left and right could find common ground.

Organized by The New York Times and moderated by focus group veteran, Frank Luntz, the group was made up equally by Republicans and Democrats, who had one thing in common – they all shared the outlook that they were “mad as hell and not going to take this anymore,” a line from the 1976 movie, ”Network.”… read more

Stirring Republican Leadership; Memories of June 6, 1944

Commentary

We’re just 79 days from the midterms, and Republicans, Democrats and Independents who want to restore America to greatness again, better make up their minds about the central figure – Donald J. Trump.

“Trump’s dominance in GOP comes into focus, worrying some in the party.” The Washington Post

I’m addressing this primarily to Republicans, but specifically to those in the House and Senate, who continue to waver on him, willing to set aside all that he accomplished while under constant attack from the left, because of his continuing dispute over the 2020 election and a lingering doubt over his role on January 6.… read more
