Hillary Clinton, already known for her long history of lying, has been caught in another one, according to Allysia Finley, writing in the April 26, edition of The Wall Street Journal. 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
When it comes to facing, defeating terrorism, Obama and Clinton just don’t get it
After scenes from the terrorist bombings in Brussels disappeared briefly from our television screens, we saw clips of President Obama sitting with Raul Castro at a baseball game in Cuba and dancing the tango in Argentina. Even after seven years, I can’t understand how he can be so indifferent and callous with the loss of life to terrorism; not to mention his refusal to call out Muslim radicals. Continue reading
Observing the 2016 presidential campaign
Trump dismisses Christie – While telling the crowd that it was Gov. Chris Christie’s endorsement that he really wanted, after being introduced by him in Millington, Tennessee, Donald Trump unceremoniously dismissed him on the tarmac, saying, “get on the plane and go home … it’s over there.” Continue reading
Democrats not democratic
In my Feb. 7, 2016 post, “Words have meaning,” I stated why I do not refer to that other party as the Democratic Party, because it really isn’t democratic. To me, it is the Democrat Party. I was pleased to see the editorial board of Investor’s Business Daily seems to agree, although it continues to be politically correct, and uses the official name of the party.
“The Democratic Party had better reeducate itself about the word “democratic,” IBD stated in its Feb. 10, 2016 editorial, “Is There Anything Less Democratic Than the Democratic Party?” IBD told how Hillary Clinton collected the same number of electoral college delegates (15) as Sen. Bernie Sanders, even though he crushed her 60 to 38 percent, calling it “just plain rigging.” Continue reading
The wasted New Hampshire primary
It’s over, and nothing has changed, except I no longer have to listen to the ridiculous stories about New Hampshire voters, who don’t make up their minds until they step into the voting booth. Balderdash! For what? The entire effort there was for naught, a waste.
The “live free or die” people of the Granite State had an opportunity to right the GOP ship, giving us a clear choice going forward, and they failed us. Continue reading
Words have meaning
“Conservatives should not play into liberals’ hands by allowing them to reinvent themselves as “progressives” because they know “liberal” is a pejorative term,” – Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX)
During a nine-year stint in the hill country of Texas, my conservative political views were published there as letters to the editor and as op-eds. The Boerne Star graciously allowed me to present views counter to those expressed in a regular column written by Kendall County Democrats entitled, Progressive Views. Continue reading
Hillary’s untrustworthiness on display … again
“You know, every secretary of state that I know have (sic) done that,” was Hillary Clinton’s response to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper’s inquiry into her receiving $675,000 for speeches to financial firms. “That’s what they offered to pay,” she snarkily added.
Hillary Clinton during Feb. 4, 2016 debate with Sen. Bernie Sanders.
If Cooper had done his homework, he could have pointed out that former secretaries of state Colin Powell and Madeline Albright usually speak for $50-60,000 dollars. Condoleezza Rice was paid $150,000 for a speech at the University of Minnesota. Cooper did, however, point out the difference that they weren’t running for office.
To that, Clinton stuttered, “I didn’t … to be honest, I wasn’t … I wasn’t committed to running … I didn’t … I didn’t know whether I …” When Cooper interrupts with, “you didn’t know you were running for president?” She responded, “I didn’t.” 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
