GOP Quest to Identify Wrongdoers has Begun and the Democrats are Livid

Commentary

Regular readers will recall my frequent blog posts in which I insisted that individuals responsible for wrongdoing leading up to the 2020 election be identified and held accountable, and that I support the new House Republican majority effort to identify them.

I predicted that Democrats, fully aware that the FBI colluded with Twitter and other social media sources just before the election to suppress the story of Joe Biden’s family corruption, would criticize the Republican effort. … read more

Biden Seeks Expansion of Big Government in Forgettable State of the Union Address

Commentary

As a political news wonk, I look forward to each State of the Union address in search of a memorable line or two that Americans can hang their hat on.

The day and morning before the address, news anchors repeatedly ask their guests what they think the president will say, and what he should say. … read more

‘Just Whistling in the Wind’

Commentary

Sure, you’ve heard that phrase before.  So have I.

While researching its origins, I found this appropriate meaning for its usage: 

“If you describe someone as whistling in the wind, you mean they are trying unsuccessfully to change something which cannot be changed.”

It’s appropriate because it applies to the effort to have us believe that wind power is capable of supplying us with a reasonable generation of electricity cheaper than fossil fuels.… read more

Unwhittingly, Jane Fonda Accuses the Biden Administration of Racism

Commentary

If anybody told me that I would one day be quoting Jane Fonda in my blog, I would have said they were ready for the looney bin, but her latest rant was just too good to pass up.

Fonda, now 85, made news this week when she blamed the climate crisis on racism during an appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”… read more

Joe Biden is the President, but Who’s Running the Show?

Commentary

“Who’s in charge in the White House?” That question surfaces every time Biden, the placeholder, says or does something that reflects negatively on his competency, his inability to carry out the duties of president.

Jill Biden is frequently on hand to steer him in the direction of the lectern, but when he gets there, he needs a Teleprompter. … read more

Recognizing Democrats Who Foolishly Predicted Doomsday Over Trump’s Tax Cuts in 2017

Commentary

By now, regular readers of Kramerontheright are familiar with my selection of a “Fool of the Month,” not just on April 1, but on the first day of every month.

When I saw the Washington Examiner headline – “It’s Official: Trump’s tax cuts paid for themselves” – I was reminded of the Democrats who got hysterical over the cuts, and I thought ‘who better to recognize as my February 1, “Fool(s) of the Month” in memory of their hysterics in 2017?’… read more

Another Look at Davos … Biden ‘Transparency’ … Union Membership Down … Wealth Accumulation in Congress … Wind and Solar Snags … and the Top Ten Singers of All Time

Commentary

Here are a few topics I selected from my stack of stuff.

A Davos Follow Up

If you read my January 24, 2023 commentary on the humor from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, you will appreciate Gerard Baker’s thoughts from his Wall Street Journal column.

While noting that trying to forecast the state of the world by gauging the mood of its participants is about as valuable an exercise as flipping a coin, Baker referenced a 50-year analysis by Financial Times in which the publication found that the consensus of the elites who gather there each year is as likely to be wrong as right.… read more

Words Have Meaning

Commentary

It’s been a few days since I last shared with you my comments on items in the news.  I shuffled through my stack of stuff, where I save material for future posts, however, a topic of special interest to me surfaced this week that deserves comment.

In my 68 years as a journalist/communicator, I have followed the writing guidelines of the AP Stylebook since it was first published in 1953. … read more

The Humor You May Have Missed in the Davos Coverage

Commentary

I had decided I wasn’t going to comment on the Word Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, appropriately referred to as “the regular smug gathering of our intellectual superiors and social betters” by Brad Slager in Red State, but the material was so goofy I just couldn’t resist.

The participants include some 600 world leaders, corporate bigwigs and professional thinkers, who gather to tell us how we should live our lives. … read more

Biden Shaping Future Military Leadership a Scary Proposition

Commentary

Since authoring my blog piece, “Watching the Deterioration of Our Military on President Biden’s Watch,” October 27, 2022, sadly, my concern for the lives of our service men and women has worsened, while our readiness is highly questionable.

While several military items have landed on my stack of stuff, it was this week’s  Wall Street Journal story, “President Weighs Joint Chiefs of Staff Pick,” that triggered my decision to do a follow up.… read more
