Beware the ‘Been There, Done That’ Talking Heads

Commentary

Just two months ago we were treated to a series of interviews with former Attorney General Bill Barr, reviewing his book, “One Damn Thing After Another.” Now it’s former Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s time in the spotlight with his book, “A Sacred Oath.”  Both gentlemen provide viewers with their opinions of former President Trump that are, for the most part, critical.… read more

Washington DC: Our Nation’s Capital Gets Crazier and Crazier

Commentary

I have to begin with President Biden, who refused to condemn the intimidation threats voiced on the left against Supreme Court justices, and chose instead to cast blame on supporters of Make America Great Again.

“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in recent American history,” he said, suggesting that next, LGBTQ kids wouldn’t be allowed in classrooms with other kids.… read more

Barring An Unforced Error, Vance Should Beat Ryan Handily in Ohio

Commentary

If you were J.D. Vance, about to face Rep. Tim Ryan to take the seat being vacated by Sen. Rob Portman, you couldn’t ask for weaker opposition.

We’ve heard about Vance, being endorsed by former President Trump and heavily supported financially by Peter Thiel, however, information about Ryan, his Democrat opposition, has been sparse.… read more

Witnessing Misplaced Anxiety … a Movie Suggestion … and My May Fool’s Day Recipient

Commentary

Normally, I would not poke fun of a disorder that for some people can be difficult to manage, but in the case of three stories in the news, I believe a diagnosis of serious anxiety is frequently misplaced.

It’s common for people to feel an uneasiness or apprehension about something, but these stories are not cause for panic or depression

The first story concerns the employees of Twitter who sought free space, or crying rooms, to relieve the anxiety they were experiencing over Elon Musk’s acquisition of “their” company.… read more

The Left’s Twisted View of Democracy and the Constitution

Commentary

Isn’t It interesting how Democrats are always spouting concern that Republicans are dismantling the Constitution, and putting our Democracy at risk, when they are behind activities attempting to do just that?

Elon Musk acquired Twitter to restore free speech – a tenet of democracy – to the platform after it was used to stifle information on the corruption within the Biden family during the 2020 election, causing the left to hit the panic button.… read more

Will it Be Trump Again, Or DeSantis as the Republican Standard Bearer in 2024?

Commentary

Former President Trump, who still has considerable support among his base, coyly teases, saying we will be “very happy” with his decision on whether to run in 2024. 

Meanwhile, Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis’ popularity is growing with his conservative decision-making creds, and will be seeking reelection as governor in 2022.… read more

It’s Time Again to Go Back to My Stack of Stuff

Commentary

It’s been a while since I’ve gone to my stack of stuff for material I’ve saved to share with you when my single topic ideas have temporarily dried up.

Musk’s Potential Twitter Takeover

The left is coming unglued over the possibility that billionaire Elon Musk might restore free speech with his takeover of Twitter. … read more

Former Park Ranger Compares His Terminal Illness to Our Dying Planet in His Book

Commentary

When I read the headline, “Our national parks could be at higher risk from climate change,” over a column by Jean Meiners, climate reporter for the left-leaning Arizona Republic, my skepticism clicked in, but not just because I am tired of the left’s scare tactics.  Why would our national parks be at higher risk?… read more

Washington Post Concedes ‘There May Well be a Danger in Suppressing Accurate and Relevant Stories’

Commentary

“The lesson learned from 2020 may well be that there’s also a danger of suppressing accurate and relevant stories,” wrote Richard Lempert of Arlington, Virginia to the editor of the Washington Post.

How perceptive, I thought, as I read Lempert’s comment, written in response to the Post’s editorial, “The Hunter Biden story is an opportunity for a reckoning,” but regretfully he didn’t stop there.… read more
