Those Confounding Debates and Polls

Commentary

As an Arizona voter, I have been following the Republican Blake Masters’ challenge of Senate incumbent Mark Kelly.

Following their debate last Thursday, two internet headlines provided some hope:

“Blake Masters Decimates Mark Kelly at Debate” – Red State

GOP’s Blake Masters Smokes Democrat Mark Kelly” – Breitbart

It was a bit disheartening, however, when Fox interviewed a woman who says she plans to vote Democrat. … read more

Believe It! Joe Biden is on the Midterm Election Ballot

Commentary

His name may not be on the ballot, but despite what Democrats would have you believe, Americans will be voting in opposition to Biden’s radical policies that have put our nation on a dangerous footing, economically and national security-wise.  

After my October 4, 2022 tongue-in-cheek piece on voting Democrat, I was  reminded of Ronald Reagan’s memorable line in the final week of the 1980 presidential campaign during a debate with President Jimmy Carter:

“Are you better off today that you were four years ago?”read more

Thinking about voting Democrat in the Midterms

Commentary

To begin, I’m so impressed with the Democrat leadership at the top with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.  It’s unfortunate they are not on the November 8 ballot where I vote, In Arizona.

The Republicans jump on every little thing these people do or say. … read more

Our Stand-In President and Vice President

Commentary

Just in case you missed it … Our president in name only, Joe Biden, who embarrassingly asked someone in a wheelchair, Chuck Graham, to, “Stand up Chuck, let’em see ya,” at a 2008 rally, made a more serious gaffe yesterday. 

During an appearance at the White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health, Biden attempted to acknowledge the work of Indiana Republican Rep.… read more

Parents Can Bring Sanity Back to Children’s Classrooms on November 8

Commentary

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

As the GOP Unveils it’s ‘Commitment to America,’ Democrats are Stuck Trying to Explain Promised Cuts in Prescription Drug Prices

Commentary

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

Misconceptions vs Reality in Recent Poll of Americans

Commentary

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

September, a Month of Fond Memories

Commentary

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

Inflation and the Economy as Key Election Issues, but the Threat to Democracy, No

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

Our Country Loses When Biden Tries to Pick a Winner

Commentary

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
