Before I cover the latest news along the campaign trails, I would be remiss if I didn’t wish my subscribers on the distaff side a Happy Valentine’s Day. Your regular reading of my blog is appreciated.
FIRST, A LITTLE HUMOR – Fox’s Greg Gutfeld, now the king of late night, calling attention to the national poll revealing 86 percent of Americans think Biden is too old to serve another term in his monologue: “Think about it … 86 percent of Americans agree … Joe Biden’s promise to unify us finally came true … he brought us together.”… read more

When I noted that MSNBC and CNN made decisions not to provide live coverage of former President Trump’s victory speech in Iowa, depriving viewers of legitimate news, I began thinking about the anti-Trump bias that continues to exist within much of the media.
To refresh your memory, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow announced that her network chose to protect its viewers from Trump’s supposed “penchant for lying,” stating, “We will let you know if there’s any news made in the speech if there’s anything noteworthy, something substantive and important.”… read more

“It’s awfully hard to oust a sitting president who wants to run.” -Byron York, Washington Examiner
Yes, but President Biden needs to be told it’s time to step aside.
Regular readers may recall my repeated criticism of Jill Biden for her failure to advise him not to run in 2020, followed by three years of encouragement when the world saw him going downhill.… read more

Years ago, when concern for global warming began to heat up – pardon the pun – and climate change became part of the terminology, I recall writing about the plethora of studies coming out of our universities and think tanks that supported the government’s environmental agenda.
The U.S. has funneled billions, yes, billions, to the United Nations to fund the work of the International Panel on Climate Change, where funds go to hundreds of climate scientists in the development of their annual report, designed to scare the hell out of us.… read more

I recognize that a number of my readers do not want former President Trump to run again in 2024. They’re not those who have been classified in the past as Never Trumpers. Some have tired of the distractions of his legal battles, yet others have simply developed a dislike of his demeanor.… read more

There are several potential Republican candidates for president in 2024 who are waiting for the right time to announce their candidacy – Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, and Chris Sununu. They all have excellent resumes, but can they successfully take on former President Trump?
