Regular readers know that I have often voiced the need for accountability and justice to be administered to government officials primarily responsible for the loss of life or in the humiliation and ruination of a career.
I’m concerned that the current assault on former President Trump by the Department of Justice and FBI, and the January 6, House committee on the Capitol breach, are both designed to affect the midterm elections. … read more

If you’re not thoroughly fed up with our Department of Justice and its Federal Bureau of Investigation by now, you should be. The agency, frequently referred to as the world’s premier law enforcement organization, has run out of eyes to be blackened with its overt politicization.
Since the unprecedented raid on the former President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, the conservative media has again found the need to come down hard on the FBI. … read more

Trump Could Run Again
Unless you are a news wonk, who closely follows politics, the name Marc Elias won’t mean anything to you, but you need to know that he is among those on the left who continue to press for the political demise of former President Trump.
As Hillary Clinton’s campaign attorney, Elias was involved in the funding of the since discredited Steele dossier, developed to bring down the Trump presidency with a tale of Russian collusion.… read more

“We may be looking at simultaneously the dumbest and most inadvertently destructive political gambit in the recent history of this country.” – Matt Taibbi
Attorney General Merrick Garland may be tight-lipped about the raid on former President Trump’s home at Mar-A-Lago, but information is leaking out that only tends to point a finger again at the active deep state of our government.… read more
Commentary
For several months, I’ve been meaning to comment a bit deeper into the Republican party’s self-imposed dilemma over former president Donald Trump. It was the unprecedented raid on his home by the FBI that finally triggered this post.
I use the term “self-imposed” because the party simply cannot come to terms on whether to support him or not. … read more
Commentary
Just 88 days before the midterms, we learn that some 30 FBI agents converged on former president Donald Trump’s property in Mar-A-Lago, Florida, supposedly to recover boxes of classified documents he had in his possession.
Desperation has set in on the left as a criminal indictment of Trump appears unlikely as result of the January 6, investigation of the Capital riot, Trump teases a comeback, and Trump-endorsed candidates win big in state primaries.… read more

When I heard Greg Gutfeld refer to the Inflation Reduction Act as the Bend Over Act, I thought … well, it’s a bit crude … but at least its an honest title for the legislation. The only reduction will come in the household budgets of middle-class Americans who are already underwater.… read more

The Chevy Bolt
Those early purchasers of the Chevy Bolt, who are now experiencing a major recall relating to battery fires, are reasonably upset over General Motors’ decision to reduce its price on the EV by $6,000 in its bid to make the 2023 model more appealing.
In response, GM has extended the $6,000 deal to those purchasers of 2020-2022 models as a rebate, but, but … wait for it … they have to sign a waiver to the right to sue if they experience a thermal runaway and their garage is burned down, or some other catastrophic event takes place.… read more

“We went to Afghanistan almost 20 years ago with clear goals: get those who attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, and make sure Al Qaeda could not use Afghanistan as a base from which to attack us again. We did that.” – President Biden, Aug. 16, 2021
While our foreign policy genius appeared satisfied that our withdrawal from Afghanistan a year ago had cooled the terrorism threat, he said “we’ll not take our eye off the terrorist threat,” as he boasted of our over-the-horizon drone strike ability.… read more

EDITOR’S NOTE: I don’t for a moment want to distract you from the $433 billion President Biden wants to spend on his fantasy of combating climate change, and the tax increases, but you need to know about the little-reported investment included for the Internal Revenue Service.
While reading about the $124 billion included in the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” to increase the Internal Revenue Service’s ability to track tax cheats, I recalled writing an op-ed about the tax cheats in the federal government for a Texas weekly newspaper about 10 years ago.… read more
