Inflation and the Economy as Key Election Issues, but the Threat to Democracy, No

Commentary

For months now, Biden and Democrats, with the aid of the leftist media, have repeatedly voiced the threat to democracy posed by Republicans.  It was in their talking points and repeated in every speech.

In all my years of following the political scene, I do not recall democracy or the threat of democracy, listed as an issue of voter concern in surveys leading up to an election.… read more

Biden’s Twisted View of the Constitution, Rule of Law and Will of the People

Commentary

During the 2020 presidential campaign, then candidate Joe Biden told voters that the choice between him and Donald Trump was between the lawful and the lawless.  He called for voters to “support the rule of law, our Constitution.”

Six months into his presidency, Biden openly flouted the Constitution with a knowingly invalid extension of the eviction moratorium, written to keep border crossers out of the U.S.… read more

Biden’s Misguided Attempt to Save his Party from a Midterm Disaster

Commentary

In my August 28, 2022 post, I took you through a timeline from President Biden’s inaugural day “unifier” speech, in which he called for “stopping the shouting and lowering the temperature” of the rhetoric, and his current attack on supporters of former President Trump as extremists and semi-fascists.

That’s just one of several reversals we’ve seen in Biden since he campaigned and won the presidency, watching him move from a moderate to the radical progressive left in just eight months.… read more

Draining the Swamp Still Necessary, Though Seemingly a Fruitless Endeavor

Commentary

 Donald Trump came to Washington as an outsider with the pledge to drain the swamp, and in many respects, he was successful, but he obviously didn’t really understand the depth of the deep state, nor the audacity of its bureaucrats to block attempts to harness their power.

As president, Trump worked tirelessly to make Washington accountable to the American people. … read more

Politics and Climate Change News Provides Fodder for the Ill-informed

Commentary

When former football star Herschel Walker, a Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia, began attacking his opponent, Raphael Warnock, as one “who only cares about making a better life for himself, not the people of Georgia,” I decided to look into it. 

People talk about wanting fresh talent and term limits on those who have made millions in Congress, yet Walker is one of those GOP candidates being rapped as unelectable due to his inexperience.… read more

Democrats Chose Insults Over Unity

Commentary

Joe Biden was elected to be the great unifier and his inaugural address was billed as his “Unity Speech.”  Let’s go back to that day.

“On this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation.  And I ask every American to join me in this cause. read more

Zuckerberg Revelation of FBI Interference Further Evidence of Rigged Election

Commentary

Regular readers of this blog know that I contend that Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election was the result of deep state suppression of Biden family corruption in the weeks leading up to election day.  The election was rigged, but not by wide-spread voter fraud as the former president often insists.… read more

The Chickens Have Come Home to Roost

Commentary

The saying – “the chickens have come home to roost” – with its meaning that bad things done in the past have come back to bite you in the ass – fits all too well with President Biden’s decision to forgive college loans.

In 2010, when I was living in Texas, writing op-eds published in several newspapers, I recall a critical piece I wrote when then President Obama signed legislation overhauling the student loan program.… read more

Stirring Republican Leadership; Memories of June 6, 1944

Commentary

We’re just 79 days from the midterms, and Republicans, Democrats and Independents who want to restore America to greatness again, better make up their minds about the central figure – Donald J. Trump.

“Trump’s dominance in GOP comes into focus, worrying some in the party.” The Washington Post

I’m addressing this primarily to Republicans, but specifically to those in the House and Senate, who continue to waver on him, willing to set aside all that he accomplished while under constant attack from the left, because of his continuing dispute over the 2020 election and a lingering doubt over his role on January 6.… read more

Don’t Allow the Biden Administration to Distract You

Commentary

Regular readers know that I have often voiced the need for accountability and justice to be administered to government officials primarily responsible for the loss of life or in the humiliation and ruination of a career.

I’m concerned that the current assault on former President Trump by the Department of Justice and FBI, and the January 6, House committee on the Capitol breach, are both designed to affect the midterm elections. … read more
