“I’ve never been more worried than I am now about the world at large,” said Sen. Lindsay Graham, referring to the situations in the Ukraine, Taiwan, Afghanistan and Iran before alluding to President Biden’s border policies. “I’m really worried about the world under the Biden administration … they’re clueless ….”… read more
ON THE BORDER – Preparing to board his helicopter, President Biden responded to a single reporter’s question regarding his plans to visit the border to find out what’s going on down there. “At some time I will, yes,” adding “I know what’s going on in those facilities.” Well, Mr. President … there’s a crisis down there; don’t you think it would be a good time to go down there? … read more
FLASHBACK – In my last blog post I wrote of weak-kneed senators, unwilling to fight for Republican values, referred to as “squishes” by Kurt Schlichter in Townhall. Well, Sen. Tom Cotton is no squish.
Despite the fact that Vanita Gupta, Biden’s nominee for associate attorney general, is certain to be confirmed, Cotton confronted her over her earlier comment that “there is not an institution in this country that isn’t suffering from institutional racism.”… read more

How often do we hear the pundits rhetorically ask prior to a major speech, ‘what does he have to say?’
They may be asking it because the speech is being given at a critical point in time – for the president or the country, because of the audience, or for some other esoteric reason.… read more

In Oregon, a bastion of leftist thought, the Department of Education is promoting a course titled, “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction: Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction.” No joke.
“White supremacy culture infiltrates math classrooms in every day teacher actions,” according to the course description. “Coupled with the beliefs that underlie these actions, they perpetuate educational harm on Black, Latinx and multilingual students, denying them full access to the world of mathematics.”… read more

As Joe Biden continues to select members of his administration in the White House and the Cabinet, I recall his commitment that they would look like the country. He has already claimed that his initial nominees already constitute “the most diverse Cabinet in American history.”
“The Biden appointment process reminds us that diversity in practice is preponderantly political, which is to say, divisive.”… read more
“I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify. Who doesn’t see red and blue states, but a United States. And who will work with all my heart to win the confidence of the whole people.” – Joe Biden, November 7, 2020
Commentary
Much has been written about Joe Biden’s first speech; from Wall Street Journal columnist William McGurn’s fawning reference to it as “Lincolnesque … exactly what the country needed to hear,” to Daily Wire Ben Shapiro’s remark that he “found the speech so pollyannish in its call for reconciliation as to be risible.”… read more
THE LAST DEBATE, ho hum. The best gotcha line that President Trump used repeatedly was his reminder to Joe Biden that “you had eight years, why didn’t you get that done?” I regret that he didn’t remind the audience that 56 percent of the American believe they are doing better than they were four years ago. … read more
YOU’VE HEARD that winning the November 3, 2020 election is arguably the most important modern-day national election we will experience. I know, you heard that in 2016 when Hillary Clinton was the other choice, but this is different, vastly different.
“Although Americans did not know what kind of president Donald Trump would be,” wrote Michael Anton in his 2016 essay, “The Flight 93 Election,” they should risk all to elect him because they could be very sure that the alternative would be our republic’s death.”… read more
YES, BUT, BUT what is he going to do for us in the next four years. We’ve heard it from the pundits, and I read it in e-mails from my friends, with lines like “I’ve been hoping Trump was going to talk more about what he wants to do going forward, and not the usual self-congratulation.”… read more
