Surely, you’ve heard President Biden repeatedly talk about the wealthy needing to pay “their fair share,” while ridiculously stating that “no billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a school teacher or firefighter.”
It’s all about scoring political points, because soaking the rich always goes over big with lower income individuals. … read more
Commentary
Over the years, we have seen a number of occasions when we were reminded that the wheels of justice turn exceedingly slow.
Regular readers will recall my persistence in finding individuals accountable for wrongdoing regardless of how long it takes and regardless if no jail time results.
For instance, I never believed we would see Hillary Clinton serve any time for her dereliction of duty over the deaths of four Americans during the Benghazi raid, for her mishandling of classified documents and thousands of missing e-mails, nor for her involvement in the fabrication of the Russian dossier.… read more

By now, most of us understand why inflation and the economy are the top two issues on the minds of voters. There’s no need for me rehash how the price of gas at the pump has gone up, along with that of everything we want to buy, groceries and other goods.… read more

His name may not be on the ballot, but despite what Democrats would have you believe, Americans will be voting in opposition to Biden’s radical policies that have put our nation on a dangerous footing, economically and national security-wise.
After my October 4, 2022 tongue-in-cheek piece on voting Democrat, I was reminded of Ronald Reagan’s memorable line in the final week of the 1980 presidential campaign during a debate with President Jimmy Carter:
“Are you better off today that you were four years ago?”… read more

Regular readers know that from time to time it becomes necessary for me to go through my stack of stuff … information I save to share with you when I take a break from single-subject posts. After taking a hiatus to host family visitors, it’s an opportune time to scan the stack.… read more
Commentary
Donald Trump came to Washington as an outsider with the pledge to drain the swamp, and in many respects, he was successful, but he obviously didn’t really understand the depth of the deep state, nor the audacity of its bureaucrats to block attempts to harness their power.
As president, Trump worked tirelessly to make Washington accountable to the American people. … 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
I’m addressing this primarily to Republicans, but specifically to those in the House and Senate, who continue to waver on him, willing to set aside all that he accomplished while under constant attack from the left, because of his continuing dispute over the 2020 election and a lingering doubt over his role on January 6.… read more
Commentary
Regular readers know that I have often voiced the need for accountability and justice to be administered to government officials primarily responsible for the loss of life or in the humiliation and ruination of a career.
I’m concerned that the current assault on former President Trump by the Department of Justice and FBI, and the January 6, House committee on the Capitol breach, are both designed to affect the midterm elections. … read more

EDITOR’S NOTE: I don’t for a moment want to distract you from the $433 billion President Biden wants to spend on his fantasy of combating climate change, and the tax increases, but you need to know about the little-reported investment included for the Internal Revenue Service.
While reading about the $124 billion included in the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” to increase the Internal Revenue Service’s ability to track tax cheats, I recalled writing an op-ed about the tax cheats in the federal government for a Texas weekly newspaper about 10 years ago.… read more

A glance at my stack of stuff at the corner of my computer desk tells me it’s time to share some interesting items I’ve been saving to share with you.

If the Election Were Today
I would have thought the gap would be wider, but Rasmussen Reports’ Generic Congressional Ballot at the end of the week shows that 46 percent of likely voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 41 percent would vote for the Democrat.… read more
