President Biden’s speech to the National Education Association, in an appearance sponsored by the Democrat National Committee on September 23, 2022, made political sense because 98 percent of the NEA’s contributions went to candidates on the left.
Once again, however, it provides me the opportunity to remind readers of another speech; one that was given on July 6, 2009 by the NEA’s retiring general counsel, Bob Chanin.… read more

When I began hearing that the Republicans were planning to unveil a plan to tell voters how they planned to tackle the issues that concern them, I pulled my copy of the 1994 Contract With America, the bold plan authored by Rep. Newt Gingrich and Rep. Dick Armey and signed by 367 Republican candidates.… read more

For some time now, I’ve noticed that more advertisers of a wide-variety of products and services were producing commercials and print ads featuring blacks and Latinos.
It reminded me of the times in my communications career in the aerospace industry when I was asked by human resources to produce a brochure or slide program. … read more

Allow me to depart from my usual political commentary to share with you a few memories of this month of September.
A Birthday
September 18, 1947, is the 75th Anniversary of the U. S. Air Force. It is special to me because of the eight years of communications and public affairs experience I received in my service career.… read more
Commentary
For months now, Biden and Democrats, with the aid of the leftist media, have repeatedly voiced the threat to democracy posed by Republicans. It was in their talking points and repeated in every speech.
In all my years of following the political scene, I do not recall democracy or the threat of democracy, listed as an issue of voter concern in surveys leading up to an election.… read more

This is the story of gullible low information voters and weak-kneed automobile manufacturers who have allowed our fossil fuel energy independence to be abandoned to make a transition to renewable fuels with the fantasy of altering climate change.
During Joe Biden’s campaign, there were a number of opportunities for voters to see how he had been convinced by the radical progressives on the left that global warming and climate change needed to be priority number one.… read more

Regular readers know that from time to time it becomes necessary for me to go through my stack of stuff … information I save to share with you when I take a break from single-subject posts. After taking a hiatus to host family visitors, it’s an opportune time to scan the stack.… read more
Commentary
During the 2020 presidential campaign, then candidate Joe Biden told voters that the choice between him and Donald Trump was between the lawful and the lawless. He called for voters to “support the rule of law, our Constitution.”
Six months into his presidency, Biden openly flouted the Constitution with a knowingly invalid extension of the eviction moratorium, written to keep border crossers out of the U.S.… read more

Just as I respond to opposing opinions, I like to occasionally call your attention to other writers who agree with me.
Checking my archives in each of the first three months of this year, I devoted space to the subject of responsibility and accountability, usually in disgust of leaders, military and civilian, who failed to accept either.… read more

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
