Watching the gubernatorial winners in New Jersey and Virginia latch on to Zohran Mamdani’s pledge of making life affordable for New Yorkers and the resulting media pressure placed on President Trump on affordability, I decided it was time for me to address the issue.

As I began researching “affordability” as a political issue, I recalled that candidate Trump talked about it at rally after rally, but without calling for state-owned grocery stores, rent control, free bus service and other socialist freebees.… read more

While “Lady Justice” has been known to move ever so slowly, she’s getting a bit of a boost from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is zeroing in on those usual suspects, deep staters who were part of the weaponization of the Department of Justice with a mission of stopping candidate and President Trump.… read more

Commentary

Recently, I have had discussions with a few friends, who subscribe to this blog, primarily because I have noticed my readership has dipped.  Not over my thoughts on a single issue, but over weeks of writing on various issues.  One suggested that once Donald Trump got elected there was no reason to read it.… read more

When former President Obama titled his 2006 book, “The Audacity of Hope,” he should have taken note of the dual definition of the word, audacity.  He chose it, I’m sure, for its references to boldness and daring, the “I am” individual he is.

During his weekend appearances for Democrat candidates in New York, New Jersey and Virginia, the content of his remarks reflected the definition of audacity I relate to Obama … imprudence, Impertinence and presumption.… read more

Commentary

Most Americans are aware of Kamala Harris’ lack of preparedness to run for the presidency in 2028 after the sound beating by Donald Trump in 2024 in which he took all the battleground states.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is best known for his coddling of immigrants, his inability to manage the land against fires and the aftermath, his mismanagement of the costly high-speed rail system. … read more

What!  Republicans are going weak-keened?!

I darned near lost it while reading the banner headline across the top of six columns in the Wall Street Journal Tuesday morning while enjoying my coffee. It read, “Manchin Warns GOP: Don’t End Filibuster,” the longstanding rule that requires a 60-vote supermajority to bring most bills to the floor.… read more

I usually don’t pay too much attention to polls, but two polls by the usually accurate Rasmussen Reports and another by Reuters/Ipsos that received detailed coverage on retribution in the daily paper deserve comment.

Trump Targeting Enemies

This poll by Reuters/Ipsos is a natural follow-on to my last edition, The Chickens are Coming Home to Roost, in which I briefly reviewed charges against individuals who attempted to keep Trump from winning in 2016, 2020 and 2024.… read more

Commentary

You will recall, I am sure, how the left plotted to keep Donald Trump from returning to the White House with 91 felony counts in four criminal indictments in four different cities.

Democrats had visions of him handcuffed in an orange jump suit and took pleasure in referring to him as a felon, but through it all, he hung in there, even appearing in court when he wasn’t required to be there.… read more

Enough seriousness for the week.

All of us, at one time or another, have disliked a photo taken of us. That includes President Trump, who disliked the cover photo selected for the recent TIME magazine.

“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time,” he said.… read more

Commentary

On October 7, 2025, after years of dueling keyboards with Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, I finally designated her as my nemesis as a conservative political commentator, tired of her disdain for President Trump.

It was her November knee jerk reaction to Trump’s selection of Pete Hegseth to be his defense secretary, writing that Hegseth didn’t possess the seriousness of General George Marshall.… read more
