The Politicization of Justice Won’t Result in True Accountability

Commentary

By now, regular readers know how strongly I feel about demanding accountability for wrongdoing.  On a number of occasions, I have written about individuals who have eluded charges, not because they are not culpable, but primarily because of who they are or who they represent.

Now, with the House January 6 Committee’s partisan investigation complete, it is asking the Department of Justice to consider prosecution of former President Trump on four criminal charges, including “inciting or assisting an insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to make false statements to investigators and conspiracy to defraud the US government.”… read more

Despositions in Obama IRS Scandal Reveal Full Knowledge of Agency Abuse of Taxpayers

Commentary

Over the years, we have seen a number of occasions when we were reminded that the wheels of justice turn exceedingly slow.

Regular readers will recall my persistence in finding individuals accountable for wrongdoing regardless of how long it takes and regardless if no jail time results.

For instance, I never believed we would see Hillary Clinton serve any time for her dereliction of duty over the deaths of four Americans during the Benghazi raid,  for her mishandling of classified documents and thousands of missing e-mails, nor for her involvement in the fabrication of the Russian dossier.… read more

GOP Can Succeed in Walking and Chewing Gum at the Same Time Where Democrats Failed

Commentary

I recently wrote of a new talking point emanating from the left in which the new House majority would be accused of spending all of its time on investigations.

One involving Hunter Biden and his White House access-peddling and another seeking the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his failure to secure our southern border. … read more

So Much to Say, So Little Space to Say It

Commentary

I endeavor to keep my commentaries brief because I don’t want to lose you as a reader, but I occasionally find it necessary to expound on a topic in an effort to present the whole story objectively.

In addition, I prefer to keep each post focused on a single topic, but like today, I feel the need to give you my thoughts on several topics as concisely as I am able.… read more

Be Aware and Thankful for Elon Musk

Commentary

‘Hey, hey, get your program here …you can’t tell the players without a program … hey, hey …That used to be a familiar shout out one would hear from someone holding a stack of programs as you entered a stadium for a sporting event.

For those of you just coming in from the dark to learn that our politicized FBI was complicit in censoring information about Hunter Biden and the corruption of the Biden family, this should be of interest. … read more

Filling the Vacuum Again Left by Lazy Journalists

Commentary

Former President Trump is in the news and again charging fake news with reporting what he said with “more disinformation and lies.”  Writing in Truth Social last Saturday, he suggested “the termination of all rules … even those found in the Constitution,” as he again returned to voter fraud.

It comes less than a month after his announced plan to again run for the presidency in 2024. … read more

Don’t Be So Sure That the Climate Extremists Have Won

Commentary

I borrowed the headline for this post from a fellow blogger, Francis Menton, who stays atop the global energy system better than anyone in his blog, Manhattan Contrarian.  Regular readers may recall that I quote him frequently.

Like me, I believe many of you are concerned with the Biden administration’s fantasy agenda of transforming our nation, and the world, off fossil fuels in favor of renewables wind and solar.… read more

‘Targeting’ Mexican Cartels and Biden’s Big Lie on Drilling Permits

Commentary

Regular readers may recall that I suggested here, on September 14, 2022, that those Mexican cartels responsible for producing fentanyl pills for smuggling into America needed to be treated as terrorists.

That is, they should be taken out just as we did Qasem Soleimani and Ayman al Zawahiri.  While they were eliminated with the use of drone-fired Hellfire missiles, I suggested we tap the covert intelligence capability of the CIA to systematically destroy their labs, one by one. … read more

Two Different Magazines in Opposition to Trump Six Years Apart

Commentary

When I received my latest edition of Washington Examiner magazine, with the main headline, “Time for Trump to Go,” along with an unflattering cartoon characteristic of the former president, I immediately recalled a magazine cover that shocked the conservative community shortly after his decision to run in 2016.

National Review

It was the February 15, 2016, edition of National Review, with its bright blue cover with the words, “Against Trump” in gold that shocked many conservatives. … read more

The GOP Needs to Stop Wasteful Spending on the Climate Change Fantasy

Commentary

Regular readers will recall my quoting the campaigning Joe Biden’s pledge to end our dependence on fossil fuels, and later President Biden’s executive order to end our energy independence and his costly legislation to transform the nation into a dependence on energy from wind and solar.

As I have previously written, I don’t think most of those who voted for Biden actually believed he would be able to follow through with his pledge, but here we are today, in an untenable position.… read more
