The deceit of the Obama administration, brought forth with the revelation of Ben Rhodes’ manipulation of the media concerning our dealings with Iran’s evil regime, was just the latest in a long record covered in this blog over the years. Continue reading

Columnist Dennis Prager paints dark picture of America with Clinton or Trump
As a political news wonk, who has become extremely discouraged with much of the American public and their fascination with Donald Trump, and Hillary Clinton for that matter, I was drawn to “A Dark Time in America,” a recent column by Dennis Prager. Continue reading
Obama touts his economics prowess despite a meager growth report
“Saving the world economy from a Great Depression, that was pretty good.” – President Obama
Speaking of his legacy, successes and frustrations at a Youth Town Hall in London on April 23, 2016, the president boasted about his handling of the economy, among other issues and events, during his two terms in office despite miserable growth numbers. Continue reading
The ‘not I’ business community needs to step up
Regular readers of this blog will recall my frequent criticism of businesses that get in bed with big government. We’ve seen it with automobile manufacturers and café standards. We saw pharmaceuticals and various health entities support ObamaCare. And we’ve witnessed energy firms jump on the climate change train. Continue reading
Trump not ready for prime time
If you are wondering how Donald Trump would do in a debate with Hillary Clinton, you needn’t look beyond his performance on CNN’s March 29, town hall in Wisconsin. Continue reading
Trump supporters – are you happy now?
This pullout from a recent comic strip panel by Gary Trudeau says it all.
Yes, I know, you’ve had it with Washington. You helped give the GOP the majority in the Senate, and they didn’t follow through with promises. Along came Donald Trump and you liked what he was saying; political correctness be damned.
I hope you’re happy now, because it appears there’s no turning back. Trump has been allowed to bully his way to several primary victories and two digit leads in most of the state primaries ahead. Continue reading
The question marks around Trump
“Mr. Trump has no policy anchor; his political strategy is to rile up the ignorami. – Holman W. Jenkins, Jr., columnist.
There are many unanswered questions about Donald Trump. (businessinsider.com)
In the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses, I listened to Iowans give their views of the presidential candidates. While many of them didn’t shy away from saying why they were supporting others who really have no chance there, Donald Trump has obviously stirred those who are simply fed up with Washington’s ways.
His promise to make America great again has struck a high note with voters even though they have no idea how he would be as president. While they seem to think they have nothing to lose, many of us know better. Beyond his worn out sound bites on the wall, deporting illegals and China, we haven’t heard any specifics on a Trump administration agenda. Continue reading
Lott and Daschle – Are you kidding me?
While conservative voters are trying to make up their minds to support one of the “outsiders,” who promise to overhaul Washington’s ways, or one of the senators or governors who have records of accomplishment, who returns to the scene but former Senators Tom Daschle and Trent Lott to tell us how to change things.

The pair have collaborated on a book, “Crisis Point: Why We Must and How We Can Overcome Our Broken Politics in Washington and Across America,” their prescription for change.
Here we are in the midst of a political revolution, the result of an angry public disgusted with Washington DC, a president who lives by executive order, and a polarized Congress and these guys believe they have the solution.
You will remember that they formed a joint leadership during the 50-50 Senate in 2001. That worked well didn’t it. Continue reading
What’s wrong with the Republican Party? Let me count the ways
My wife and I stopped contributing to the Republican National Committee (RNC) years ago when my personal letters written to former chairman Michael Steele were ignored; yet we still receive mailings asking this question.
Another mailed RNC survey to tell them what they already know.
This mailing contained still another survey, asking for our position in a yes or no format regarding immigration, ObamaCare, taxes, regulation and the EPA, climate change, Planned Parenthood, defense, and the Iran nuclear deal.
The survey looks very official, complete with a registration number and a section reserved for office use only, complete with a bar code.
Really, Chairman Priebus, you don’t know where your party stands on these issues? Continue reading
Legacy-minded Obama hands GOP campaign issues
It’s amusing to see President Obama, so set on his legacy of met campaign promises that he doesn’t see that his failures not only doom his legacy, but hand the eventual Republican nominee issue upon issue to use against Hillary Clinton.
President Obama has handed the eventual GOP nominee a long list of issues to use against Hillary Clinton, who will be running for Obama’s third term. (deathandtaxesmag.com)
Unfortunately, in the process of his attempt to transform our nation, he is destroying the fabric of America. And he still has 13 months to complete his mission.
His lack of a foreign policy has made the United States a laughing stock. His feckless inability to commit to a strategy to rid the Middle East of ISIS and al Qaeda is further evidence of his failure to use the military power at his disposal.
The nuclear agreement with Iran is so important to the president’s legacy that he’s willing to sign it regardless that it doesn’t stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, and will provide Iran with billions of dollars to pursue its “death to America and Israel” goal.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Putin operates as he wishes in the Middle East. Continue reading
