“Combating climate change and slowing the rate at which Earth warms will mean transitioning away from fossil fuels, the major source of greenhouse gas emissions.”
Those were the words of Melissa Quinn and Kathryn Watson, who collaborated on a piece about the social spending and climate bill recently sent over to the Senate. … read more

You may recall the beating former President Trump took in response to his Tweets. In fact, it has been said that Joe Biden was elected because of the public’s frustration with them.
Following the August 2020 shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, candidate Biden Tweeted, “I don’t know whether that 17-year-old kid, exactly what he did, but allegedly he’s part of a militia coming out of state of Illinois,” suggesting he was a white supremacist.… read more

“The fact of the matter is, my Build Back Better agenda costs zero, and it won’t raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year.” President Biden
How often have you heard him say that? And he’s still saying it as he touts his massive welfare spending bill. In New Hampshire this week, he said, “no one making less than $400 grand will pay a single penny more in federal taxes.”… read more

A day doesn’t go by that I am not embarrassed, disgusted, appalled, angry, outraged, or just plain pissed off with President Biden.
Before he was elected, it was all about his gaffes, but many of us tired of hearing ‘that’s just Ole Joe.’ In office now for less than a year, his gaffes are insignificant compared to his lack of judgement.… read more

It shouldn’t surprise you that President Biden’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, is coming under increased scrutiny in Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion tale.
Sullivan is reportedly the “foreign policy director” referred to in the indictment of Michael Sussmann, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager, determined through e-mail distributions.… read more

In my November 6, 2021 blog, I wrote of Fiona Hill’s effort to bring down the Trump presidency with her impeachment testimony against him.
Obviously disgruntled that the Republican-controlled Senate voted to acquit the president, she bitterly stated that the impeachment “came down to political mud wrestling.”
Space didn’t permit me to include her published opinion that the January 6, 2021 breach of the Capitol was a self-coup by Trump.… read more

Does the name Fiona Hill come to memory? It did to me.
I recall her stern appearance, her mannerisms and British accent, and I wondered why she was invited by the Democrats to testify at the hearing covering the Ukraine and the Trump-Zelensky phone call. She left her job in the White House national security office 10 days before the phone call took place.… read more

Surely, you’ve heard how the McAuliffe for Governor campaign in Virginia tried to tie their Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin to former President Trump.
During President Biden’s campaign appearance for Terry McAuliffe, he mentioned Trump more than 24 times in his 17-minute stump speech.
During a brief Q&A Wednesday, after making remarks on Covid injections for kids, Fox’s Peter Doocey asked him why he referred to Trump so many times in his Virginia speech.… read more

While listening to a group of pundits talk about Glenn Youngkin’s win in Virginia the morning after the election, the conversation lead to a discussion of what move President Biden and the Democrats will make now with that massive spending bill that has been languishing in Congress.
In football, coaches are occasionally faced with a decision to “take the points,” kick a field goal, but all too often they fail to do so and they wind up losing the game.… read more

Yesterday, I purposely chose to combine the recognition of my November Fool’s Day honorees with the preview of COP26, the UN climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland, where foolishness will abound for two weeks.
Some 30,000 people are expected to participate in the event, from presidents and prime ministers to community activists, all of whom believe that human activities influence climate change, and their use of fossil fuels has to be stopped. … read more
