For those not paying attention, and I understand why, Democrats held their summer meeting, looking for fresh ideas going into 2026, in Minneapolis, home of a loser, Tim Walz.
Having forgotten that it was his party’s clinging to DEI that was one of the reasons Harris-Walz lost, Walz said, “We are proud of the diversity in this country. … read more

I have often written about President Trump’s energy, seemingly boundless, as he deals with domestic and foreign issues 24/7 and still has time to work in a round of golf. And a day doesn’t pass that he doesn’t spend time answering questions by the media.
While reporting on his energy, the media usually focuses on his apparent need for few hours of sleep, fellow blogger, Francis Menton, led into a piece on the president’s first seven months with reference to Federalist Number 70 and Alexander Hamilton’s pitch for a strong unitary executive. … read more
Commentary
With 70 years in communications, I pay attention to the words people – primarily politicians and other public figures – use as they speak to their constituencies.
I could give you a long list of favorites, but I must again quote the late Rush Limbaugh, arguably one of the best modern-day wordsmiths, who often declared that “words mean things.” … read more
Commentary
During President Trump’s first term, I recall quoting from Psychology Today, in which it stated that there was “no shared lay understanding of TDS,” assigning it to a folk category rather than a professional category.
The publication noted that “some people have been seriously disturbed and distressed by the policies, speech, behavior, and tweets of President Trump, so much so that it has affected their cognitive, affective, and behavioral functioning.… read more

“Trump has Just Discovered He Isn’t as Powerful as He Thought He Was.” – The Telegraph
“Opinion: Why Trump’s Latest Reality TV Show Is a Flop.” – The Daily Beast
“What Was the Trump-Putin Meeting Even About?” -The New York Times
Those were a few of the headlines following President Trump’s meeting in Alaska with Vladimir Putin, but The Daily Beast seemed take particular delight in its headline covering First Lady Melania Trump’s letter to Putin:
“Melania Throws Curveball with Personal Letter to Putin.”… read more

With public interest dwindling on the detention and deportation of illegals and the release of Epstein documents, Democrats suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome have latched onto a couple more topics to whine about.
One is the move by Texas Republicans to redistrict the state to gain Congressional seats in largely Hispanic districts where voting has been Republican. … read more
Commentary
As the Democrats look to the 2028 presidential race, their bench strength is understandably mentioned with somewhat reluctance. It stands to reason. They have no bench strength. Not even a leader.
An awkward response came from former Vice President Kamala Harris during her recent appearance on the “The Late Show,” when Stephen Colbert simply asked her, “Who’s leading the Democrat Party? … read more

“I will fight them with everything I’ve got to keep their grubby little hands off it.” Rep. Brandon Boyle (D-Pennsylvania)
That quote is typical of Democrats, who while having the House, Senate and the White House, knowing of Social Security’s projected insolvency in 2034, kicked the can down the road.… read more
Commentary
News of securing the border and Trump’s applying of tariffs took up most of the media coverage until last week, however, when the political focus switched to criminal charges initiated by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the House’s hearings on Biden’s mental acuity and the possible misuse of his autopen, and the controversy over the release of the Epstein files, you may have missed other newsworthy stories.… read more
Commentary
While the media on the left either gives the Obama-Russiagate scandal short shrift or ignore it altogether, I will be commenting on “Irrefutable Evidence,” “Explosive Revelations,” and a “Conspiracy to Subvert President Trump’s 2016 Victory” in reporting by responsible journalists.
It shouldn’t be surprising, because the leftist media knows the story implicates them, like the Hunter Biden laptop story and the attempt to cover-up Biden’s mental and physical capacity to serve as president.… read more
