Part of my job in keeping tabs on what leftist newspapers are palming off on their readers is the need to do due diligence on opinion writers I don’t recognize. It’s important to know something about their background.

WHILE THE DOJ IS SO OBSESSED with domestic terrorism caused by extremist white supremacists that it has formed a special unit equipped with massive resources to address it, they’ve taken their eye off anti-Semitic threats.
Anti-Semitic attacks have grown since the 2018 killing of 11 people in the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.… read more

Years ago, I recall reading about a survey in which Americans believed businesses made on average profits of 36 percent, an estimate supported by years of similar polls by Opinion Research when estimates ranged from 28 to 37 percent.
A recent review of more than 7,000 companies revealed that the average profit margin for all companies was 7.9 percent, and just one industry had a profit margin as high as 36 percent – tobacco at 43.3 percent.… read more

While I prefer to devote my commentaries to a single subject, today I have gone to my stack of stuff for material I have been saving to share with you.
LEAVE IT TO TOM FRIEDMAN, the tired New York Times columnist, to come up with an idea for 2024 that perhaps only he alone could concoct.… read more
Regular readers know that I don’t make a practice of publishing full transcipts of speeches, television interviews or press conferences, choosing instead to take excerpts from them to use in my commentaries. However, I felt the Senate Minority Leader’s response to President Biden’s over-the-top speech was called for, and I wanted you to read his defense of the Republican Party.… read more

During his Summit for Democracy last month, President Biden referred to the struggle as “the defining challenge of our time,” noting that democracy was in retreat in the U.S.”… read more

It has been said that politics makes for strange bedfellows, but except for last month’s tribute to the late Sen. Bob Dole, we haven’t seen much collegiality in Washington.
The one-year anniversary of the January 6, 2021 breaching of the Capitol could have been a unifying event, but Pelosi & Company had other ideas, stemming from her formation of select committee to investigate the protest, and designed to paint Republicans as white supremacists out to dismantle our democracy going into the midterms.… read more

You probably heard the speeches and saw the candlelight vigil commemorating the one-year anniversary of the January 6, 2021 breach of the nation’s Capitol.
It was over-the-top leftist theatrics, beginning with Vice President Harris’ ridiculous comparison of that day with the day Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941 and the day terrorists downed the World Trade Center buildings in 2001 … days “when our democracy came under assault,” she said.… read more

In Part 1 of my look ahead, I wrote of the mid-December Axios/Momentive survey revealing that more than half of Americans dreaded what was in store for the country, with a third claiming they were fearful of what 2022 would bring.
A subsequent Axios/Momentive survey, conducted between January 1-3, 2022, revealed that 53 percent of adults view America as more divided today than ever before and likely to continue.… read more

“Let 2022 be the year when we say enough, no more. When we demand more of our nation, our neighbors and ourselves. Things cannot continue as they are. This is not the new normal, we refuse to let it be.” – Ben Domenech, The Federalist
