You may have read or heard recently that the criminal investigation of former President Trump’s business dealings in New York is expected to die when the grand jury in question ends its term in April.
Like me, you may have wondered, since when do banks take a borrower’s word for the value of real estate when they make loans secured by property? … read more

While finally bowing to public pressure, President Biden announced Tuesday that he was “banning all imports of Russian oil and gas energy,” and in doing so, he said, “the American people will deal another blow to Putin’s war machine.” However, he refuses to budge off his stubborn position of reducing U.S.… read more

Last week, I told you about the pending release of former Attorney General William Barr’s book. In Saturday’s Wall Street Journal, Barr recounts his explosive meeting with President Trump who objected to the Justice Department’s failure to pursue fraud in the 2020 election.
Barr concedes that there were pockets of irregularities, but at the time “had yet to see evidence of the fraud on the scale necessary to change the outcome of the election.”… read more

If you were among the curious souls who watched President Biden’s State of the Union address, you understand my inability to provide my readers with a comprehensive review in my last post. He threw everything into it except the kitchen sink.
I’ll limit my post comments to two topics that caused me to go to the transcript of the address. … 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

The leftist media would have you believe that former President Trump’s remarks about Vladimir Putin reflect praise for the Russian leader. After reading a few snippets from CNN, the New York Times and NPR, I viewed it as a continuation of Trump’s tenure, during which he was considered to be pals with Putin.… read more

A FEW DAYS AGO, I wrote how various organizations altered climate statistics to fit a narrative. In Part XXX of Francis Menton’s “The Greatest Scientific Fraud of All Time,” he refers to the “homogenization” of global temperatures; the mission of identifying and correcting for supposed “discontinuities” or “breakpoints” in weather station location or instrumentation in order to provide a more accurate world temperature history.… read more

Regular readers know that I endeavor to address a single topic in my blog, but that I occasionally go to my ‘Stack of Stuff’ for topics on which I still want to comment. This is one of those days.
February 17, 2022 was the one-year anniversary of the passing of Rush Limbaugh, but on that day, I felt compelled to relate the story of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the corruption traced to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign that the media was trying to hide from the American public. … read more

Regular readers may recall my quoting a spokesperson for Rodney Joffe, aka Tech Executive-1 in Special Counsel John Durham’s latest report, of being apolitical with no previous work for a political party.
