Not since Barack Obama’s presidential run in 2008 have I read such drivel as I did earlier this week when I read Dan Balz’s analysis column on Kamala Harris in the Washington Post.
But first, three Flashbacks
You may recall reading or hearing about New York Times faux conservative columnist David Brooks’ claim in 2008 that “Obama would be a tremendous president because of the sharp crease in his pants.”… read more

Supposedly, Democrats are known for their values of compassion and decency, but it’s all rhetoric, and for those who didn’t watch the Democrat convention week, I’ll give you a taste.
It all began when they scheduled President Biden’s farewell speech on the first night, when individuals of lesser position are routinely scheduled. … read more

Before reading the Wall Street Journal editorial board’s lead opinion piece on Monday, “Joe Biden’s Sad Presidential Legacy,” I had been thinking about the Democrat Party coup that eliminated him from the presidential race.
Of course, we all knew it was his disastrous debate performance that triggered party bigwigs – Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi – to put the pressure on him; the same people who, among others, had earlier attempted to convince us he was still sharp as a tack, representing a major coverup.… read more

No, I’m not talking about Vice President Harris‘s goofy running mate selection of Tim Walz, I’m referring to her repeated statement, “We’re not going back.” It provides me with so much material that enables me to use her words, the words of her supporters, and, of course, the words of realists.… read more
Commentary
With just 81 days left, several political pundits, even some of the “friendly’s,” have gotten their pants (panties) in a wad recently over former President Trump’s campaign, seeing him on a path to losing again.
Even Gerard Baker, the long time Wall Street Journal columnist, who opined Tuesday, “Trump Is Looking Like a Loser Again.” … read more

“The rapidly rising federal debt will cause substantially more damage to the U.S. economy in coming years than climate change,” stated the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office on Monday.
It’s a provocative statement that should make Democrats reconsider their climate-centered agenda, and be a wake-up call to the Harris-Walz campaign. While Vice President Harris is likely to build on that of the Biden administration, she has refrained from any detailed policy discussion.… read more
Commentary
I once admired the wordsmithing talent of Peggy Noonan, who was a speechwriter for President Reagan, often reminding my readers of her words in the former president’s “these are the boys of Pointe du Hoc” speech during the 40th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1984.
“For sheer oratorical elegance,” historian Douglas Brinkley wrote, it would become “one of the most inspirational presidential speeches delivered.”… read more
Commentary
Leave it to the left-leaning media to come up with a vibe shift in the presidential election to get uncertain voters to believe that former President Trump is beatable.
I recently wrote about Dianne Schwartz, an 80-year-old Chicagoan who listens to political podcasts while she exercises, who felt something she hadn’t felt for a while. … read more

Who is Tim Walz?
If you stay up on the news, no doubt you’ve heard enough about this radical progressive, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, selected to be Vice President Harris’ running mate, but I thought I would pass along a few comments you may not have heard.
First, be aware that Walz truly may not have been Harris’ choice. … read more
Commentary
With all of the foolish concern over former President Trump’s remark that he would be dictator on Day One only to secure the border and begin drilling again, Americans seem to have forgotten the consequential order of the Biden-Harris administration’s Day One, an all-of-government approach to advance diversity, equity and inclusion across the federal government.… read more
