EDITOR’S NOTE: I don’t for a moment want to distract you from the $433 billion President Biden wants to spend on his fantasy of combating climate change, and the tax increases, but you need to know about the little-reported investment included for the Internal Revenue Service.
While reading about the $124 billion included in the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” to increase the Internal Revenue Service’s ability to track tax cheats, I recalled writing an op-ed about the tax cheats in the federal government for a Texas weekly newspaper about 10 years ago.… read more

A glance at my stack of stuff at the corner of my computer desk tells me it’s time to share some interesting items I’ve been saving to share with you.

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

President Biden was in Massachusetts Wednesday toying around with the idea of declaring a climate emergency. A real emergency calls for immediate action.
“If this is an emergency, call 911.”
But when the president says, “Let me be clear, climate change is an emergency,” he allows that “in the coming weeks, I’m going to use the power I have as president to turn these words into format, official government actions …”
While he talks about heatwaves and drought, no one reminds him that these are short-term atmospheric conditions of weather. … read more

I frequently use this space to comment on what fellow bloggers are saying, not only because I agree with what they’re saying, but because they often say it better than I. And, too, I would like to think that you would be interested in what others have to say.
I often use their thoughts to elaborate on my own. … read more

The price of gasoline at the pump has doubled since the day Joe Biden took office, mortgage rates, too, have doubled, and inflation is eating up those increased wages people earned.
