More Than Ever, Our Military Service Men and Women Need the Change We Can Bring About in the Midterms

Commentary

“… and may God protect our troops.”

And so, President Biden regularly concludes another speech.  Just words.

I’m not questioning his appreciation of the troops, but as a veteran who supports a strong military, I have never been more disheartened by what has been taking place in the Pentagon since Biden came into office. … read more

Latest Jan. 6 Show Trial Hearing Another Dud … No Equality Under the Law for Bannon … and Black Commentator Voices Disappointment in Biden

 The Jan. 6 Show Trial

From the beginning, I decided I would not lower my standards by watching hearings that did not allow dissent from the minority party.  I found the comments in blogger Matt Taibbi’s account of the last hearing compelling.

At 9:06 p.m. he noted, “All of this stuff is incredibly politically damaging, but legally? … read more

Weather vs Climate … Our Woke Universities … and the Sorry State of the Fourth Estate

Commentary

President Biden was in Massachusetts Wednesday toying around with the idea of declaring a climate emergency.  A real emergency calls for immediate action. 

“If this is an emergency, call 911.”

But when the president says, “Let me be clear, climate change is an emergency,” he allows that “in the coming weeks, I’m going to use the power I have as president to turn these words into format, official government actions …”

While he talks about heatwaves and drought, no one reminds him that these are short-term atmospheric conditions of weather. … read more

A Clueless Biden Continues to Push New Green Deal

Commentary

The price of gasoline at the pump has doubled since the day Joe Biden took office, mortgage rates, too, have doubled, and inflation is eating up those increased wages people earned.

After fist-bumping with the Saudi King, he told us “We had a good discussion on ensuring energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth. … read more

Poor Baby … First Lady Talks of Joe’s Shattered Hopes and Plans

Commentary

During a fundraiser for the Democrat National Committee in Massachusetts, a frustrated Jill Biden told the audience that her husband “had so many hopes and plans for the things he wanted to do; he had to address the problems of the moment.  He’s just had so many things thrown his way,”

BIDEN’S ON THE ROPES

Noting that her husband was being constantly challenged by unanticipated crises, she talked of Roe v Wade being overturned, still not believing it. … read more

Six-Year Effort to Prosecute Trump Dwindling

Commentary

While reading Matt Taibbi’s treatise on the endless prosecutorial effort against former President Trump over more than six years, I couldn’t help but think about the cost involved, yes, and I was again reminded how the president delivered on his promises while enduring the process.

While the effort to tie Trump to Russia goes back to 2015, writing about the effort to prosecute him, Taibbi notes that “People have forgotten how long this has been going on. … read more

The ‘Crazy Season’ is Underway

Commentary

With just 115 days until the midterm elections, we are now beginning to see stories based on outcome predictions for the House and Senate, and even though it is not a presidential election, “will he run” stories looking ahead to 2024 proliferate … about both Biden and Trump.

President Biden, who frequently says he doesn’t look at the polls, got all worked up over a poll indicating that 92 percent would vote for him against former President Trump if the election were today.… read more

Biden’s Economic Advisors are Clueless

Commentary

On July 10, 2022, I wrote about the economics of “no free lunch,” believing it was time for a refresher as we experience the rising costs of everything and the specter of inflation.  However, it seems as though economics “experts” in the White House need more than a refresher.

Reading the editorial “No Business Experience,” in Wednesday’s Wall Street Journal, revealing that of the 68 top executive-branch officials who shape Biden administration economic policy, have an average of just 2.4 years of business experience. … read more

There’s No Free Lunch

Commentary

You know this, but I figured a refresher can’t hurt as we note that consumer confidence has hit a low last seen a decade ago.  It occurred to me while reading from David Bahnsen’s book, “There’s No Free Lunch.”

Last November, as I wrote about President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda that he claimed wouldn’t raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year, I reminded you of Milton Friedman’s statement, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”… read more
