I’M SICK AND TIRED of hearing about everything President Biden has accomplished despite his mental state. In a recent op-ed written by novelist Joeseph Epstein, he declares “How could someone with an enfeebled memory have accomplished all the historically significant improvements his administration has made?
Tell me, Mr. Epstein, what are those historically significant improvements? … read more

Before I cover the latest news along the campaign trails, I would be remiss if I didn’t wish my subscribers on the distaff side a Happy Valentine’s Day. Your regular reading of my blog is appreciated.
FIRST, A LITTLE HUMOR – Fox’s Greg Gutfeld, now the king of late night, calling attention to the national poll revealing 86 percent of Americans think Biden is too old to serve another term in his monologue: “Think about it … 86 percent of Americans agree … Joe Biden’s promise to unify us finally came true … he brought us together.”… read more

When I noted that MSNBC and CNN made decisions not to provide live coverage of former President Trump’s victory speech in Iowa, depriving viewers of legitimate news, I began thinking about the anti-Trump bias that continues to exist within much of the media.
To refresh your memory, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow announced that her network chose to protect its viewers from Trump’s supposed “penchant for lying,” stating, “We will let you know if there’s any news made in the speech if there’s anything noteworthy, something substantive and important.”… read more

“It’s awfully hard to oust a sitting president who wants to run.” -Byron York, Washington Examiner
Yes, but President Biden needs to be told it’s time to step aside.

“The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 established a new system to responsibly manage and secure our border, keep our families and communities safe, and better manage migration across the hemisphere.”… read more

The Polls
“While it’s true that national polling doesn’t tell us much because we don’t elect a president with a national popular vote,” writes Matt Margolis of PJ Media, “it can still give us some hints about how the political winds are shifting.”
Margolis quoting Moody’s Analytics :
“They predict Biden will hold Georgia and Nevada despite polls consistently showing Trump leading in those states.”… read more
Commentary
John Bolton, who considers himself the authority on national security, came out with his op-ed forecasting former President Trump as a “danger to U.S. security,” just in time to be selected for my February Fool’s Day “honor.”
The op-ed, published in the Wall Street Journal, follows his Tuesday appearance on ABC News’ Good Morning America with its left-leaning host George Stephanopoulos, as he began his pitch for the new edition of his memoir decidedly designed to stop Trump’s return to the White House.… read more

Biden
Rumors about Biden’s reelection are flying in Washington circles, including one in which former President Obama advised him to quit the race, convinced he’s lost his grip. There’s even one in which Biden plans to exit the race in July, with Michelle Obama replacing him.
“(These rumors) should be taken with a grain of salt,” writes Matt Margolis in PJ Media, while adding “there are plenty of reasons to believe them.” … read more

Air Power for Peace
All caught up with the Michigan Wolverines taking the National Championship and the political dueling in Iowa and New Hampshire, the story of the testing of the first B-21 Raider stealth bomber wound up on my stack of stuff.
The initial B-21, one of six pre-production models the Air Force plans to acquire, has been making test flights out of Edwards Air Force Base in California since November, but only became known to the public recently.… read more
