Does the name Fiona Hill come to memory? It did to me.
I recall her stern appearance, her mannerisms and British accent, and I wondered why she was invited by the Democrats to testify at the hearing covering the Ukraine and the Trump-Zelensky phone call. She left her job in the White House national security office 10 days before the phone call took place.… read more

I know, we’re told never to speak ill of the dead, but rather to show respect for someone who has died by not saying something untoward about the individual. After all he or she is no longer in a position to oppose us, and most of all, the dead cannot defend themselves.… read more

On October 5, 2021, my wife and I celebrated our 65th wedding anniversary.
Perusing our album of black and white wedding photographs was a vivid reminder of how times have changed since 1956. I would suppose that wedding photos today are taken on an iPhone.
The American flag hung in every classroom, where the pledge of allegiance was repeated each day, and prayers were not out of the question. … read more

LEE GREENWOOD, known for his patriotic anthem, “God Bless the USA,” since it debuted in 1984, has been asked by President Biden to resign or be dismissed from his position on the National Council for the Arts. Pathetic and petty.
Greenwood was first appointed to the council by President George W.… read more

On Tuesday, making his first appearance before the UN Security Council as president, Joe Biden found himself in the embarrassing position of attempting to restore America’s diplomacy following a series of his foreign policy screw-ups.
Telling other leaders of the need to work together for “our security, our prosperity and our very freedoms as never before,” his appearance, in what was termed his most high-profile moment on the world stage since assuming office, came as many leaders have expressed skepticism of the United States in recent months.… read more

We have a person in Joe Biden who lacks the competence required to be president of the United States, and he has surrounded himself with an assortment of equally ill-equipped individuals.
On Thursday, Biden and his handlers decided it was time for a distraction from his screw-up in Afghanistan. … read more

When the party in power says so.
On December 18, 2019, by a majority vote, the House of Representatives used their power to impeach President Trump for soliciting Ukrainian interference in the 2020 presidential election.
During a July 15, 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky, President Trump supposedly sought his help in digging up dirt on Joe Biden, at the time a potential 2020 opponent.… read more

Regular readers will recall that I select a fool to recognize on the first day of each month, not just in April. It would be easy to again pick President Biden for this ignominious honor.
However, my September Fool’s Day pick goes to the 81,284,666 individuals who elected Biden to be president in 2020, who, by now, must realize their mistake.… read more
Commentary
I recently wrote of my disappointment in the Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton retreads who are advising President Biden, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who you may recall “midwifed” the transfer of pallets of cash to Iran as part of the nuclear deal.
As I watched Binken’s unemotional, teleprompter-aided speech on Monday, I was reminded of Scott Johnson’s PowerLine reporting of Blinken’s August 26, 2021 press briefing, in which he described him as representing the “face of defeat,” while trying to proclaim success with the withdrawal mission.… read more
Commentary
One by one, as President Biden and each member of his administration brain trust have appeared in daily press briefings – Blinken, Sullivan, Generals Milley and McKenzie, Maj. Gen Taylor, Kirby and Psaki – attempting to deflect the finger-pointing of blame for miscues by saying there will be time for that later, when this mission is over.… read more
