Commentary

“I think he (Biden) has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” – former Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

That was hardly what candidate Joe Biden wanted to hear from someone as distinguished as Gates going into his campaign.  But as a longtime member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, including a stint as its chair, and his eight-years as vice president under Barack Obama, his role was seen as insignificant.… read more

Will Someone Please Tell Biden He’s Ruining Our Country

Commentary

THOSE BIDEN JOBS CLAIMS – You’ve heard them, and questioned them as I have, I’m sure.  Well, now some in the media are beginning to take a close look at those numbers.  “Biden Keeps Making the Same Dubious Jobs Claim,” was the headline on the Daily Caller’s analysis.

“We’re now the first administration in history to add jobs every single month in our six months in office, and the only one in history to add more than four million jobs during the first six months,” said Biden

The official government data shows that between January and June 2021, the number of employed Americans rose from 142.7 million to 145.8 million, a gain of just over 3 million.… read more

Joe Biden, Venture Capitalist

Commentary

I recently commented on President Biden’s August 5, 2021 signing of an executive order outlining his target of 50 percent electric vehicle sales share in 2030.

The title, provided by the White House: President Biden Announces Steps to Drive American Leadership Forward on Clean Cars and Trucks (emphasis is mine) couldn’t be clearer, as the order outlines the investment in the infrastructure, manufacturing, and incentives needed to lead on electric vehicles around the world.… read more

More From My Stack of Stuff

PRESIDENT BIDEN and his missing point person on the Southern Border, Vice President Harris, continue to ignore the flood of migrant illegals crossing our border, many of them with the Covid virus.

Who Would’ve Thunk It? Bin Laden Had Biden’s Number

Commentary

While reading Peter Bergen’s piece, “The Last Days of Osama Bin Laden,” in the weekend Wall Street Journal, an account of his last days in the Pakistani compound, Bergen wrote of Bin Laden’s plans for a follow on, “bigger than that of 9/11.”

Bergen wrote of the documents recovered by our Seal team, including some 470,000 computer files from a trove of 10 hard drives, five computers and about 100 thumb drives and disks, containing thousands of pages of his private letters and secret memos. … read more
