IN THE AFTERMATH of the foolish move by Major League Baseball and CEOs at Delta, Coca Cola, et al, covered in my last post, I thought you would find these views interesting:
“The rush by corporate leaders to denounce Georgia’s new voting law will rank in infamy as one of the most cowardly, cynical and socially destructive moves in modern American history.”… read more

FOR SIXTY YEARS, my voting experience was about the same. Where ever I lived, I could vote any time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Election Day. If necessary, my employer permitted me to vote on their time if necessary. My identity was confirmed. If I was going to be out of state or the country, as I was one year, I requested an absentee ballot.… read more

For the past dozen or so years, I have been writing about those wimps heading up our auto and truck manufacturing firms who didn’t stand up and fight when the government insisted that they meet the mileage required by its Café standards.
More on the cozy arrangement between automakers and your government later.… read more

APRIL FOOL’S DAY – The History website states that the tradition of people playing practical jokes on each other began on April 1, 1700 in England. It’s also known as “All Fool’s Day,” the site notes, and has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, but its exact origin remains a mystery.… read more
IT’S MALARKY, to borrow a term from our puppet President Joe Biden. The left is intentionally peddling misinformation.
When Republicans talk about voter-ID, signature verification, early poll closings, reducing early voting days, and limiting no-excuse ballot requests, the left shouts voter suppression, disenfranchising minority voters, and racism.
However, a close look at voting rules in their blue states reveals that they, too, are then guilty as charged.… read more
ON THE BORDER – Preparing to board his helicopter, President Biden responded to a single reporter’s question regarding his plans to visit the border to find out what’s going on down there. “At some time I will, yes,” adding “I know what’s going on in those facilities.” Well, Mr. President … there’s a crisis down there; don’t you think it would be a good time to go down there? … read more
It was a chilly day with a light rain, September 27, 2002, when my wife and I went to the Coconino County Fairgrounds in Flagstaff, Arizona to see and hear President George W. Bush speak. “I love the rain,” he said to a rousing applause, “thanks for standing out here. I appreciate you all enduring the weather.”… read more
BIDEN’S TEAM TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS – President Biden’s Obama and Clinton hand-me-down foreign policy representatives – Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan – had their hats handed to them during talks with the Chinese communists in Anchorage, Alaska.
“I don’t think the overwhelming majority of countries in the world would recognize the universal values advocated by the United States or that the viewpoint of the United States could represent international public opinion,” said Yang Jiechi, a member of the Chinese Communist Party’s Politburo, reportedly a clear indication that the CCP will no longer abide by the rules set by the United States.… read more
TRUMP URGES SUPPORTERS – During a prime-time Tuesday telephone interview on Fox News Channel with Maria Bartiromo, former President Trump urged Americans to get vaccinated to help fight the Covid pandemic. “I would recommend it,” especially urging those “who don’t want to get it … a lot of those people voted for me.”… read more
FOR THE PEOPLE ACT – That’s the public relations title the crafty progressives on the left have assigned to HR 1, a bill that would change our election process on a massive scale never before attempted. It’s also referred to as the “voting rights” bill; who wouldn’t support that?
I had intended comment on HR 1 for days, but it was an ad in the leftist Arizona Republic newspaper this morning that triggered this commentary. … read more
