Look … President Biden Held a Press Conference

Commentary

On 17 occasions during President Biden’s press conference remarks Wednesday, he sought our attention, saying “look,” as if what followed would be something of note. It usually wasn’t.

Among them were, “look, we’re not there yet … look, I’m a capitalist … look, I didn’t overpromise … well look, as you know … look, I’ve laid out … look, I still contend … look, think of what we did … look, what I said …” and “look, I made it clear …” but perhaps “look, maybe I’m kidding myself …” was the most telling.… read more

More from My Stack of Stuff

Commentary

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

Elizabeth Warren Again Surfaces ‘Profit’ as a Dirty Word

Commentary

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

Transcript: “Profoundly Unpresidential”

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

Democrats View Domestic Terrorism Threat to Democracy Supplanting Threats of Climate Change, Systemic Racism and the Viruses

Commentary

By now, you must have noticed that the left is diverting its scare tactics over climate change, systemic racism and the viruses to make you believe there’s a new threat.  We are in danger of losing our democracy and we need to fear domestic terrorism.

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

Not a Strange Bedfellows Story as Some May See It

Commentary

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

Democrats’ Despicable Attempt to Gain One Party Rule

Commentary

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

Part 2: A Year to Dread What’s in Store, or Take Back America

Commentary

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
