In my September 12, 2021 post, “Why, George, Why,” I wrote about the gratuitous slap George W. Bush took at Trump supporters while speaking at the 9/11 memorial ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, comparing the 9/11 terrorists with the January 6, 2021 Capitol rioters.
“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within.… read more

WHY, GEORGE, WHY?
I thought it made sense that George W. Bush accepted an invitation to speak at the 9/11 memorial service in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on the occasion of the event’s 20th anniversary.
Since leaving office, “W” has pretty much refrained from making political statements, often referring to the presidents’ “brotherhood.”… read more

We have a person in Joe Biden who lacks the competence required to be president of the United States, and he has surrounded himself with an assortment of equally ill-equipped individuals.
On Thursday, Biden and his handlers decided it was time for a distraction from his screw-up in Afghanistan. … read more

When the party in power says so.
On December 18, 2019, by a majority vote, the House of Representatives used their power to impeach President Trump for soliciting Ukrainian interference in the 2020 presidential election.
During a July 15, 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky, President Trump supposedly sought his help in digging up dirt on Joe Biden, at the time a potential 2020 opponent.… read more

Regular readers will recall that I select a fool to recognize on the first day of each month, not just in April. It would be easy to again pick President Biden for this ignominious honor.
However, my September Fool’s Day pick goes to the 81,284,666 individuals who elected Biden to be president in 2020, who, by now, must realize their mistake.… read more

I recently wrote of my disappointment in the Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton retreads who are advising President Biden, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who you may recall “midwifed” the transfer of pallets of cash to Iran as part of the nuclear deal.
As I watched Binken’s unemotional, teleprompter-aided speech on Monday, I was reminded of Scott Johnson’s PowerLine reporting of Blinken’s August 26, 2021 press briefing, in which he described him as representing the “face of defeat,” while trying to proclaim success with the withdrawal mission.… read more

As I watched President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden stand there on the Dover Air Force Base tarmac Sunday as the bodies of the 13 service members killed in Afghanistan passed in front of them during the precision transfer of the caskets from the C-17 to awaiting hearses, I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through their minds.… read more

One by one, as President Biden and each member of his administration brain trust have appeared in daily press briefings – Blinken, Sullivan, Generals Milley and McKenzie, Maj. Gen Taylor, Kirby and Psaki – attempting to deflect the finger-pointing of blame for miscues by saying there will be time for that later, when this mission is over.… read more

Every now and then, during my research for this blog, I discover a writer who I have never heard of before. He’s David Solway, 80, a Canadian poet, who is also known for his essays and critical pieces. Although he has been in print since the mid-seventies, sadly, only now have I discovered his talent.… read more

“YOU’RE FIRED!” – President Biden isn’t inclined to fire any senior national security officials over the chaos in Kabul, according to the left-leaning AXIOS. “Why it matters: Dismissing national security advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin or CIA Director William Burns would be tantamount to admitting a mistake, and the president stands by his decision.”… read more
