While discussing a topic have you ever asked yourself, ‘I wonder what so and so would think’ if he were alive today? It happened to me recently, but I couldn’t recall the name of the “so and so” I was thinking about at the time.
I can usually count on my wife to come to my rescue, but I was trying to remember a name of an individual that wasn’t in her wheelhouse.… read more

While finally bowing to public pressure, President Biden announced Tuesday that he was “banning all imports of Russian oil and gas energy,” and in doing so, he said, “the American people will deal another blow to Putin’s war machine.” However, he refuses to budge off his stubborn position of reducing U.S.… read more

“All great changes are preceded by chaos.” – Deepak Chopra M.D.
We all saw it coming from the day Joe Biden was elected, and for sure on Day One of his presidency, when he chucked the goal of unifying America and, one by one, reversed the policies of President Trump, in a personal vengeance against him and Americans who voted for him.… read more

(NOTE: I am not a doctor. I only played one in a made-for-TV movie. But I do possess a degree of common sense.)
Weeks ago, I decided I didn’t want to read one more story about Covid or the variants and stopped covering it in my blog.
I had it with the “experts,” – Fauci and all of the talking head doctors – featured on the networks and in newspapers. … read more

The headlines alone give you a feel for topics currently on the media agenda, but I’ll give you a little back up to go with them.
The story behind The Spectator headline, “Are Kamala Harris’s days as VP numbered?” delves into the Washington whispers of a cunning plan to shunt Kamala on to the Supreme Court in order to bring in a more popular vice president, someone better prepared to take over should Biden win in 2024.… read more

Regular readers will recall that I have devoted a great deal of commentary on the subject of climate change, and the flawed effort to end our dependence on fossil fuels in favor of renewable sources like solar and wind.
I have noted surveys showing strong pubic support for wind and solar energy, but there was always that doubt about just how much they would be willing to pay more for it. … read more

On 17 occasions during President Biden’s press conference remarks Wednesday, he sought our attention, saying “look,” as if what followed would be something of note. It usually wasn’t.
Among them were, “look, we’re not there yet … look, I’m a capitalist … look, I didn’t overpromise … well look, as you know … look, I’ve laid out … look, I still contend … look, think of what we did … look, what I said …” and “look, I made it clear …” but perhaps “look, maybe I’m kidding myself …” was the most telling.… read more

WHILE THE DOJ IS SO OBSESSED with domestic terrorism caused by extremist white supremacists that it has formed a special unit equipped with massive resources to address it, they’ve taken their eye off anti-Semitic threats.
Anti-Semitic attacks have grown since the 2018 killing of 11 people in the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.… read more

Years ago, I recall reading about a survey in which Americans believed businesses made on average profits of 36 percent, an estimate supported by years of similar polls by Opinion Research when estimates ranged from 28 to 37 percent.
A recent review of more than 7,000 companies revealed that the average profit margin for all companies was 7.9 percent, and just one industry had a profit margin as high as 36 percent – tobacco at 43.3 percent.… read more

In Part 1 of my look ahead, I wrote of the mid-December Axios/Momentive survey revealing that more than half of Americans dreaded what was in store for the country, with a third claiming they were fearful of what 2022 would bring.
A subsequent Axios/Momentive survey, conducted between January 1-3, 2022, revealed that 53 percent of adults view America as more divided today than ever before and likely to continue.… read more
