The price of gasoline at the pump has doubled since the day Joe Biden took office, mortgage rates, too, have doubled, and inflation is eating up those increased wages people earned.
After fist-bumping with the Saudi King, he told us “We had a good discussion on ensuring energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth. … 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

Just two months ago we were treated to a series of interviews with former Attorney General Bill Barr, reviewing his book, “One Damn Thing After Another.” Now it’s former Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s time in the spotlight with his book, “A Sacred Oath.” Both gentlemen provide viewers with their opinions of former President Trump that are, for the most part, critical.… read more

I found it astonishing that within a few days, President Biden talked of a new world order, intimated we might answer Russia’s use of chemicals in kind, suggested that the 82nd Airborne might see action in Ukraine, and most recently he seemed to call for Putin’s ouster through regime change.… read more

Watch Zelensky’s Speech or Go for Ice Cream?
When White House Mouthpiece Jen Psaki was asked if President Biden would be watching Ukraine’s President Zelensky’s virtual presentation to Congress on Wednesday, she intimated it depended on his daily schedule. Really, Jen?
As a former spokesman in the corporate world, her answer should have been: ‘While I haven’t seen his schedule for the day, I’m sure viewing that speech will preempt anything previously scheduled.’… read more
Commentary
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

PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS LOST IT – During a meeting of his cabinet on Thursday, he announced that he’s sending Vice President Harris to Poland and Romania to show solidarity with Ukraine.
That, after she told reporters at the Munich Security Conference in Germany last month that Europe had enjoyed “peace and security” since the end of World War II, forgetting Soviet Excursions into Hungary and Czechoslovakia during the Cold War, the Balkan civil wars of the 1900s and Russia’s campaigns in Chechnya, Georgia and Ukraine under Putin.… read more

If you were among the curious souls who watched President Biden’s State of the Union address, you understand my inability to provide my readers with a comprehensive review in my last post. He threw everything into it except the kitchen sink.
I’ll limit my post comments to two topics that caused me to go to the transcript of the address. … read more
