Commentary

Before I cover the latest news along the campaign trails, I would be remiss if I didn’t wish my subscribers on the distaff side a Happy Valentine’s Day.  Your regular reading of my blog is appreciated.

FIRST, A LITTLE HUMOR – Fox’s Greg Gutfeld, now the king of late night, calling attention to the national poll revealing 86 percent of Americans think Biden is too old to serve another term in his monologue: “Think about it … 86 percent of Americans agree … Joe Biden’s promise to unify us finally came true … he brought us together.”… read more

Anticipating Media Coverage of the 2024 Presidential Campaigns

Commentary

When I noted that MSNBC and CNN made decisions not to provide live coverage of former President Trump’s victory speech in Iowa, depriving viewers of legitimate news, I began thinking about the anti-Trump bias that continues to exist within much of the media.

To refresh your memory, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow announced that her network chose to protect its viewers from Trump’s supposed “penchant for lying,” stating, “We will let you know if there’s any news made in the speech if there’s anything noteworthy, something substantive and important.”… read more

Commentary

“It’s awfully hard to oust a sitting president who wants to run.” -Byron York, Washington Examiner

Air Power for Peace

All caught up with the Michigan Wolverines taking the National Championship and the political dueling in Iowa and New Hampshire, the story of the testing of the first B-21 Raider stealth bomber wound up on my stack of stuff.

An Unusual View of Trump by a Leftist Columnist

Commentary

I recall my delight, in 2017, when I read that Bret Stephens was leaving the Wall Street Journal for the New York Times.  It was a natural move for someone with leftist opinions on politics, which he also shares with viewers of MSBNC and NBC. Still, the opinions of the Journal’s editorial board, cannot always be counted on to be conservative.… read more

UAW Leadership Endorses Biden, But Not So Fast

An Unusual Approval

Arguably one of the smartest men on Wall Street, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, not a conservative, warned Biden and Democrats against continued demonization of Trump and MAGA voters, suggesting it could backfire on them.

“I mean, really, can we just stop that stuff and actually grow up and treat other people with respect and listen to them a little bit?”… read more
