It’s that time of year when the news networks and newspapers do their review of the year in passing as the new year is ushered in. It will be interesting to see how they portray the “C’mon Man’s” first year. They won’t resemble my portrayal, I assure you.
Of course, you will remember how President-elect Joe Biden pledged to be the president who sought not to divide but to unify.… read more

A NEW CNN/SSRS poll reports that President Biden’s numbers are worse than Jimmy Carter’s at the same period of his presidency. That shouldn’t surprise you.
IN THE LATEST MARIST poll, two thirds of independent voters disapprove of Biden, including half, who strongly disapprove. Just 29 percent of independents approve of his performance.… read more

“What it is, it’s outrageous. Obviously, it cannot continue. But the fact is that there is an attitude of lawlessness in our country that springs from I don’t know where, maybe you do, and we cannot have lawlessness become the norm.”
That was Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s response to a media inquiry regarding San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s announced plan to crack down on criminal behavior, referencing smash-and-grab robberies and open-air drug use.… read more

Some 10 years ago, while writing op-eds and letters to editors while living in the conservative Hill Country of Texas, I enjoyed taking on a handful of Democrat contributors to a regular column in the Boerne Star called “Progressive Views.”
One of the regulars on the left blamed conservatives for “befouling the word liberal to the point that many who possess the qualities of a liberal have abandoned the term in favor of the more palatable word – progressive.”… read more

On October 5, 2021, my wife and I celebrated our 65th wedding anniversary.
Perusing our album of black and white wedding photographs was a vivid reminder of how times have changed since 1956. I would suppose that wedding photos today are taken on an iPhone.
The American flag hung in every classroom, where the pledge of allegiance was repeated each day, and prayers were not out of the question. … read more

“I am a master legislator. I just love it. I consider myself a weaver, like I have a loom. And I bring all these different threads together.” – Nancy Pelosi, October 29, 2017
Those were her words from an interview with the Washington Post.
Those “threads” she now faces are the handful in the socialist progressive caucus, who are holding the infrastructure bill hostage. … read more

It always gives me pleasure when the Democrats turn on one of their own when they don’t follow the party line put forth by Sen. Chuck Schumer or Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, once the darling of the bleeding-heart liberal columnists of the Arizona Republic, has been the subject of two recent columns by E.… read more

Since my critical commentaries on George W. Bush, and his attack on those on the right, I again feel compelled to encourage you to stand up and fight for the America we love.
In my August 8, 2021 post, “It’s Time to Get Motivated; Stop the Deterioration of Our Nation,” I quoted Ben Domenech of The Federalist, who declared “It is (time) to organize against the deterioration of everything that made our American communities great.… read more

“What does that mean … celebrating our independence … from what, who?” the television reporter asks the young woman in Times Square. It was embarrassing. “I was so bad in geography.” She couldn’t answer the question. How sad.
Hopefully, the majority of Americans know that it is on the Fourth of July that we celebrate our independence from Great Britain, but we need to remind each other about its significance.… read more

Previously, I have mentioned my concerns over the infiltration of critical race theory into high school, college and university curriculums and the government’s insertion of the race and white privilege subject matter into our military training programs.
I’m sure you’ve noticed that Americans across the nation are confronting school boards with vocal disapproval over study content that shames whites and, I believe, actually encourages racism, citing white privilege.… read more
