If you’re not thoroughly fed up with our Department of Justice and its Federal Bureau of Investigation by now, you should be. The agency, frequently referred to as the world’s premier law enforcement organization, has run out of eyes to be blackened with its overt politicization.
Since the unprecedented raid on the former President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, the conservative media has again found the need to come down hard on the FBI. … read more

For several months, I’ve been meaning to comment a bit deeper into the Republican party’s self-imposed dilemma over former president Donald Trump. It was the unprecedented raid on his home by the FBI that finally triggered this post.
I use the term “self-imposed” because the party simply cannot come to terms on whether to support him or not. … read more

Just 88 days before the midterms, we learn that some 30 FBI agents converged on former president Donald Trump’s property in Mar-A-Lago, Florida, supposedly to recover boxes of classified documents he had in his possession.
Desperation has set in on the left as a criminal indictment of Trump appears unlikely as result of the January 6, investigation of the Capital riot, Trump teases a comeback, and Trump-endorsed candidates win big in state primaries.… read more

A glance at my stack of stuff at the corner of my computer desk tells me it’s time to share some interesting items I’ve been saving to share with you.

If the Election Were Today
I would have thought the gap would be wider, but Rasmussen Reports’ Generic Congressional Ballot at the end of the week shows that 46 percent of likely voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 41 percent would vote for the Democrat.… read more

During a fundraiser for the Democrat National Committee in Massachusetts, a frustrated Jill Biden told the audience that her husband “had so many hopes and plans for the things he wanted to do; he had to address the problems of the moment. He’s just had so many things thrown his way,”
Noting that her husband was being constantly challenged by unanticipated crises, she talked of Roe v Wade being overturned, still not believing it. … read more

While reading Matt Taibbi’s treatise on the endless prosecutorial effort against former President Trump over more than six years, I couldn’t help but think about the cost involved, yes, and I was again reminded how the president delivered on his promises while enduring the process.
While the effort to tie Trump to Russia goes back to 2015, writing about the effort to prosecute him, Taibbi notes that “People have forgotten how long this has been going on. … read more

“There’s a lot going on right now, but the idea we’re gonna be able to, you know, click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline is not likely in the near term, nor is with regard to food.” – President Biden, June 1, 2022
That’s odd, on January 20, 2021, his first day in office, he was able to “click a switch” that effectively ended our energy independence.… read more

If you were J.D. Vance, about to face Rep. Tim Ryan to take the seat being vacated by Sen. Rob Portman, you couldn’t ask for weaker opposition.
We’ve heard about Vance, being endorsed by former President Trump and heavily supported financially by Peter Thiel, however, information about Ryan, his Democrat opposition, has been sparse.… read more

Normally, I would not poke fun of a disorder that for some people can be difficult to manage, but in the case of three stories in the news, I believe a diagnosis of serious anxiety is frequently misplaced.
It’s common for people to feel an uneasiness or apprehension about something, but these stories are not cause for panic or depression
The first story concerns the employees of Twitter who sought free space, or crying rooms, to relieve the anxiety they were experiencing over Elon Musk’s acquisition of “their” company.… read more

Isn’t It interesting how Democrats are always spouting concern that Republicans are dismantling the Constitution, and putting our Democracy at risk, when they are behind activities attempting to do just that?
Elon Musk acquired Twitter to restore free speech – a tenet of democracy – to the platform after it was used to stifle information on the corruption within the Biden family during the 2020 election, causing the left to hit the panic button.… read more
