Reactions to Trump’s Decision to Run in 2024 Understandably Mixed

Commentary

The Tone

Much has been written about the tone of former President Trump’s speech. It was generally viewed as restrained, low key, tightly scripted and lacking the cocky swagger and energy supporters have been accustomed to.

“For all those tuning in to Donald Trump’s announcement of his presidential candidacy Tuesday night expecting to see a rip-roaring, fired-up Trump tearing into Joe Biden, trashing the fake news, and generally riling up the crowd, they were disappointed,” wrote Bob Hoge in his Red State piece, “Trump Shocks the World by Nearly Putting Us to Sleep.”… read more

More Closing Midterm Comments and I Go Out on a Limb with My Nov. 8 Predictions

Commentary

Don’t you just love it?  Seeing the Democrats scramble in the final days leading up to the midterms.  They call in losers Obama and Clinton to continue their strategy of insulting anyone who doesn’t agree with their failed policies –  Republicans, Independents and even some Democrats – foolishly continuing to spout the threat a Republican victory will impose on our democracy.… read more

A Few Election Briefs in the Countdown to the Midterms

Commentary

In addition to looking forward to watching the news without those political ads, I’m hopeful the pundits will finally drop the use of the term “kitchen table” issues.

Regular readers may recall my June 7, 2022 commentary in which I expressed my disapproval in its use, informing you that research revealed that just 29 percent of families currently eat together on a regular basis. … read more

Our Pathetic Example of a President in Evidence Again

Commentary

Some of you may recall my April 30, 2022 blog, “The Left’s Twisted View of Democracy and the Constitution,” in which I quoted former President Obama’s speech at Stanford.

I found it particularly interesting that former President Obama was called upon to stoke fear in the threat democracy is facing, I wrote then, and now the desperate Democrats have called him back for more fear mongering.… read more

‘Out-of-Touch Joe’ Repeats as “Fool of the Month;” Obama and Clinton Run Close Seconds

Commentary

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

More Signs of Desperation; Democrats Enlist Two Doofus’s to Campaign for Others

Commentary

Doofus #1, Barack Obama, may be a former Democrat president, someone who you would want to campaign for you under normal circumstances, but doesn’t the left get it yet, it was his failed presidency that paved the way for Donald Trump to win in 2016?

And if you are concerned about losing the Hispanic vote, as the polls see taking place in the midterms, why in hell’s name would you bring out Obama, who in 2008 said, “I can guarantee that we will have, in the first year, an immigration bill that I strongly support,” resulting in receiving 67 percent of the Hispanic vote.… read more

Watching the Deterioration of Our Military on President Biden’s Watch

Commentary

As a proud Air Force veteran, who has frequently written about the value of that experience in my career, regular readers may also recall my commentaries in which I have been highly critical of what was happening to our military under President Biden.

It has been disheartening to see how Biden has allowed our military to deteriorate as he invoked policies that involved using our military service men and women as his experimental subjects in quasi clinical studies.… read more

Biden Cannot Deny It: The Midterms are An Indictment of His Policy Decisions

Commentary

It wasn’t surprising to hear President Biden say Republicans planned to “tear down what I’ve been able to do” during a rare interview with Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC on Friday.

Not surprising, because that’s exactly what he did with former President Trump’s accomplishments on his first day in office. … read more
