Air Power for Peace
All caught up with the Michigan Wolverines taking the National Championship and the political dueling in Iowa and New Hampshire, the story of the testing of the first B-21 Raider stealth bomber wound up on my stack of stuff.
The initial B-21, one of six pre-production models the Air Force plans to acquire, has been making test flights out of Edwards Air Force Base in California since November, but only became known to the public recently.… read more

“We need to know who’s gonna sit in the most powerful seat in the world and help us win the united working class,”

Regular readers know that I prefer to comment on single topics, but my stack of stuff at the corner of my desk silently beckoned my attention with its height.
Why They Want to Get Trump
Last month, former President Trump unveiled his plan to dismantle the Washington Swamp if elected by cleaning out the deep state, firing rogue bureaucrats and career politicians, while targeting corruption and weaponization.… read more

Vice President Harris was at it again Monday night, making convoluted comments that made no sense whatsoever, during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers
Speaking about immigration and the border, she referred to the people who have fled great harm to seek refuge and decried the “political theater” being played with their lives.… read more
Commentary
The saying – “the chickens have come home to roost” – with its meaning that bad things done in the past have come back to bite you in the ass – fits all too well with President Biden’s decision to forgive college loans.
In 2010, when I was living in Texas, writing op-eds published in several newspapers, I recall a critical piece I wrote when then President Obama signed legislation overhauling the student loan program.… read more

We’re just 79 days from the midterms, and Republicans, Democrats and Independents who want to restore America to greatness again, better make up their minds about the central figure – Donald J. Trump.
“Trump’s dominance in GOP comes into focus, worrying some in the party.” The Washington Post

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

“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in recent American history,” he said, suggesting that next, LGBTQ kids wouldn’t be allowed in classrooms with other kids.… read more
Commentary
The Democrat Party is known for its identity politics and have labeled Republicans as “racists,” “misogynists,” “nationalists,” and “white supremacists,” among others.
