The debate … countdown to accountability … time to name names … Brennan note tied to Obama meeting … the gall of Michelle Obama … what was missing … Trump’s record with blacks … governors dumb and dumber … and a point to ponder

THE DEBATE – Opinions of who won the Pence-Harris debate will vary, depending on where you generally get your feedback.  What’s more important is how you viewed it. 

I was struck by the snarky facial mannerisms of Kamala Harris. Smirking. Eye-rolling.  A cockiness exuding a kind of superior attitude.

I was left with the same thoughts that I had going into the debate. … read more

Criticism from medical professionals… and those who believe they are … and a public relations consultant, too … the president returns to the White House … and the polls still favor Biden

WHO’S THE SICK ONE? – “If Donald Trump were my patient, in unstable condition, plus contagious illness, & suddenly left the hospital to go for a car ride that endangers himself & others,” tweeted CNN medical analyst Leona Wen, “I’d call security to restrain him then perhaps perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity.” … read more

Those media medical experts … speculation on Trump … Townhall.com gets it right … IBD/TIPP poll reveals Trump narrows gap with debate … ponder this … Peggy Noonan at it again … and the vice presidential debate

I NEVER REALIZED how many members of the media were medical doctors.  Their reporting of President Trump’s first day in the hospital was laughable.  The questions posed to the Walter Reed medical team were repetitive and pathetic. 

I don’t know about CNN or MSNBC, but Fox News Channel felt the need to bring in Sunday host and failed debate moderator, Chris Wallace, Martha Mac Callum, and Bill Hemmer, who appears like he just moved over from one of the 10 o’clock nightly news shows on a local TV station in middle America. … read more

Members of august body not acting like it … Biden gets advice from Clintonista … nobody cares about Trump’s taxes … Biden’s either, I guess … voting troubles in Virginia, Texas and Minnesota … vote in person … Newsom’s electric car mandate questioned … and the debate

I’M ENJOYING THE PARADE OF DEM SENATORS who have announced that they won’t do the courteous thing by agreeing to talk with Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett before her confirmation hearings.  How pathetic.

Supposedly, they are members of an “august body” – the U.S. Senate.  August means “esteemed” or “respected,“ thus, august body is a phrase meant to flatter the members of the body.… read more

Biden’s Supreme Court nomination list … the attack on Barrett … Sen. Sinema still not sure … really? … the Dem plan to delay confirmation … and Trump introduces healthcare plan

IN THE ABSENCE OF BIDEN’S PROMISED LIST of black candidates for the Supreme Court, I have compiled my own, based on his past glowing comments, not listed in any special order:   Michelle Obama, Stacey Abrams, Rachel Dolezal, Rep. Karen Bass, Oprah Winfrey, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Rep. Val Demings, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley.… read more

Krugman arises with another theory … Gov. Cuomo’s hubris … deBlasio cancels New Year’s Eve in Times Square … Schumer politicizes Barrett nomination … and an attack on Barrett’s adopted children

PAUL KRUGMAN, not exactly a name known to most of America, so allow me to remind you of his New York Times prediction on the night of the 2016 presidential election, that if Donald Trump wins, there will be a “global recession.” And “if the question is when will markets recover, a first pass answer is never.”… read more

SPECIAL: It’s time to reflect on those Never Trumpers … Dear Readers, This essay is longer than usual, but well worth your reading

Many of us conservatives were shocked when National Review, the magazine of conservative thought, was so convinced that Donald Trump was not a conservative, that it devoted its February 15, 2016 issue to bring down his candidacy. 

I was an admirer of the magazine’s conservative founder, William F. Buckley Jr, who passed away in February 2008. … read more

Cindy McCain endorses Biden … says she’s still a Republican … sorry, Cindy, RINOS not wanted … join Flake … those Blue States are at it again … now altering voting deadlines … and 235 senior retired military officers endorse President Trump

STILL CARRYING GRUDGE against President Trump, Cindy McCain says she endorses Joe Biden for president, while claiming “she will remain a registered Republican.” RINOs are not true Republicans. 

I’m sure the left-leaning Arizona Republic leaped at another opportunity to print opposition material against the president.  A 72-point headline, “McCain endorses Biden,” was carried across all four columns of page one with full-color photo of the late senator’s wife posing with a director’s chair bearing her husband’s name.… read more

SPECIAL: Expect Lindsey Graham to Control the Supreme Court Nomination hearing; Preventing Another Kavanaugh Character Assassination

“I’M GOING TO REMEMBER THIS,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham as he accused Senate Democrats of “the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics” during the hearings for Justice Kavanaugh.

Visibly angry over their effort to ruin Kavanaugh’s reputation, Graham said, “What you want to do is destroy this guy’s life, hold this seat open, and hope you win in 2020.… read more

Don’t count Collins out … Gingrich, Feinstein on religious litmus test … Arizona Republic continues hatchet job on McSally … university prof wants to see Trump supporters die … and the misguided idea that climate can be altered

I’M NOT CONVINCED that Maine Sen. Susan Collins will vote against confirmation of President Trump’s nomination to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 

Yes, I read her position statement against a vote prior to the election, but I recall her thoughtful consideration of Justice Kavanaugh during his confirmation process when she was thought to be a “no” vote.… read more
