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

If you’re not thoroughly fed up with our Department of Justice and its Federal Bureau of Investigation by now, you should be. The agency, frequently referred to as the world’s premier law enforcement organization, has run out of eyes to be blackened with its overt politicization.
Since the unprecedented raid on the former President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, the conservative media has again found the need to come down hard on the FBI. … read more

“We may be looking at simultaneously the dumbest and most inadvertently destructive political gambit in the recent history of this country.” – Matt Taibbi
Attorney General Merrick Garland may be tight-lipped about the raid on former President Trump’s home at Mar-A-Lago, but information is leaking out that only tends to point a finger again at the active deep state of our government.… read more
Commentary
For several months, I’ve been meaning to comment a bit deeper into the Republican party’s self-imposed dilemma over former president Donald Trump. It was the unprecedented raid on his home by the FBI that finally triggered this post.
I use the term “self-imposed” because the party simply cannot come to terms on whether to support him or not. … read more
Commentary
Just 88 days before the midterms, we learn that some 30 FBI agents converged on former president Donald Trump’s property in Mar-A-Lago, Florida, supposedly to recover boxes of classified documents he had in his possession.
Desperation has set in on the left as a criminal indictment of Trump appears unlikely as result of the January 6, investigation of the Capital riot, Trump teases a comeback, and Trump-endorsed candidates win big in state primaries.… read more
Commentary
The partisan January 6 House select committee investigating the riot at our nation’s Capitol is following Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals as expected, but they are ignoring key advice that may well backfire on them.
Adhering to Rule #13, “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it,” it’s clear that former President Trump is that individual, who they want to refer to the DOJ on criminal changes for inciting an insurrection.… read more

“… and may God protect our troops.”
And so, President Biden regularly concludes another speech. Just words.
I’m not questioning his appreciation of the troops, but as a veteran who supports a strong military, I have never been more disheartened by what has been taking place in the Pentagon since Biden came into office. … read more

The Jan. 6 Show Trial
From the beginning, I decided I would not lower my standards by watching hearings that did not allow dissent from the minority party. I found the comments in blogger Matt Taibbi’s account of the last hearing compelling.
At 9:06 p.m. he noted, “All of this stuff is incredibly politically damaging, but legally? … read more
Commentary
While reading Matt Taibbi’s treatise on the endless prosecutorial effort against former President Trump over more than six years, I couldn’t help but think about the cost involved, yes, and I was again reminded how the president delivered on his promises while enduring the process.
While the effort to tie Trump to Russia goes back to 2015, writing about the effort to prosecute him, Taibbi notes that “People have forgotten how long this has been going on. … read more

THE GALL OF CHINA, the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, slamming the Supreme Court ruling limiting Washington’s ability to regulate power sector emissions, wants President Biden to push ahead with his climate agenda,
While China continues to invest in new coal power plants, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian lectured Biden to “fulfill his duties,” and to “face up to (the U.S.’s… read more
