All this time, I thought Joe Biden selected Kamala Harris to be his running mate because he wanted to take credit for naming the first black woman to that position. It was natural. He boasted about it endlessly.
Could it be, however, that he viewed her ineptness taking the spotlight off his own? … read more

What a wonderful week it has been for Americans who have been seeking retribution, accountability, defense of the First Amendment and the preservation of democracy.
We have Elon Musk, Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, Tyler Vargas-Andrews, Reps. Kevin McCarthy and Michael McCaul and Tucker Carlson to thank.

By now, those of you who are regular readers of this blog, are aware of my persistent plea that individuals and agencies, who have failed Americans for one reason or another, be held accountable.

In addition to looking forward to watching the news without those political ads, I’m hopeful the pundits will finally drop the use of the term “kitchen table” issues.

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.

“We went to Afghanistan almost 20 years ago with clear goals: get those who attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, and make sure Al Qaeda could not use Afghanistan as a base from which to attack us again. We did that.” – President Biden, Aug. 16, 2021
While our foreign policy genius appeared satisfied that our withdrawal from Afghanistan a year ago had cooled the terrorism threat, he said “we’ll not take our eye off the terrorist threat,” as he boasted of our over-the-horizon drone strike ability.… read more
