Whenever I write on single issues, some excellent material ends up in my stack of stuff. I save it because it’s stuff you need to know and may not have heard or read about.
Excuse me, but I have to again begin with a bit of humor because there’s so much negative stuff in the news. … read more

The Democrat Party is known for its identity politics and have labeled Republicans as “racists,” “misogynists,” “nationalists,” and “white supremacists,” among others.
Worried about their own label as “liberals,” that conjured up a negative connotation, they began referring to themselves as “progressives,” supposedly more favorably looked upon as a group with a belief in improving the environment, conditions of life and a duty to take care of economic and social affairs.… read more

During the 2020 presidential campaign, there was a lot of talk about the need to replace the Twitter-happy guy in the White House and bring decency back; forget all of that he achieved while being constantly harassed with that Russian collusion hoax.
We frequently heard the tired plea from the left, ‘we need to have an adult in the White House.’ … read more

“I think it’s really important for people to understand the brilliance with which President Biden is conducting this (Ukraine). This is a man (who) served decades as chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee. He knows the arena. He knows the personalities.” – Nancy Pelosi
Today, as I tuned in to the streaming from the sold-out Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) from Orlando, I saw thousands of people of all ages from across the country, willing to pay $295 for general admission and $7,000 for premium tickets to hear the conservative message. … read more

NOTE TO READERS: If you’ve noticed that you haven’t been receiving my blog as often as in the past, it’s because I had to resolve a delivery issue with the firm I use to e-mail it to you. It wasn’t initially apparent that there was a problem, and it appears that you may not have received my last six posts. … read more

On 17 occasions during President Biden’s press conference remarks Wednesday, he sought our attention, saying “look,” as if what followed would be something of note. It usually wasn’t.
Among them were, “look, we’re not there yet … look, I’m a capitalist … look, I didn’t overpromise … well look, as you know … look, I’ve laid out … look, I still contend … look, think of what we did … look, what I said …” and “look, I made it clear …” but perhaps “look, maybe I’m kidding myself …” was the most telling.… read more

WHILE THE DOJ IS SO OBSESSED with domestic terrorism caused by extremist white supremacists that it has formed a special unit equipped with massive resources to address it, they’ve taken their eye off anti-Semitic threats.
Anti-Semitic attacks have grown since the 2018 killing of 11 people in the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.… read more

You probably heard the speeches and saw the candlelight vigil commemorating the one-year anniversary of the January 6, 2021 breach of the nation’s Capitol.
It was over-the-top leftist theatrics, beginning with Vice President Harris’ ridiculous comparison of that day with the day Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941 and the day terrorists downed the World Trade Center buildings in 2001 … days “when our democracy came under assault,” she said.… read more

In Part 1 of my look ahead, I wrote of the mid-December Axios/Momentive survey revealing that more than half of Americans dreaded what was in store for the country, with a third claiming they were fearful of what 2022 would bring.
A subsequent Axios/Momentive survey, conducted between January 1-3, 2022, revealed that 53 percent of adults view America as more divided today than ever before and likely to continue.… read more

“Let 2022 be the year when we say enough, no more. When we demand more of our nation, our neighbors and ourselves. Things cannot continue as they are. This is not the new normal, we refuse to let it be.” – Ben Domenech, The Federalist
I am an optimist … a glass half-full person … and I hesitate telling you about a recent Axios/Momentive survey revealing that more than half of Americans dread what 2022 has in store for the country, with 30 percent claiming they were more fearful of what 2022 would bring.… read more
