By now, those of you who are regular readers of this blog, are aware of my persistent plea that individuals and agencies, who have failed Americans for one reason or another, be held accountable.
In 2022 alone, I devoted four editions to the subject of accountability, beginning with “Accountability: So Easy to Understand, So Difficult to Secure,” on March 21, 2022, and ending on December 12, 2022 with “The Politicization of Justice Won’t Result in True Accountability.”… read more

I know, I know … birds have craws, not humans, but you know what I mean when I use it don’t you? It describes an annoyance, irritation or even hard feelings.
While we await the Department of Justice decision on the criminal charges against former President Trump brought forth by the House Select Committee on January 6, a few things stick in my craw.… read more

I’m back at the keyboard after taking a little time off. I followed the vote for Kevin McCarthy, I waded through the volume of Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss’ findings in the Twitter files, and most recently noted President Biden’s photo op in El Paso.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Just a few brief observations.… read more

In my last blog post I unapologetically wrote that I would not be selecting my man or woman of the year and that I would not be writing a year in review of 2022. It is so old hat.
Embarrassingly, however, the Arizona Republic’s left-leaning editorial board decided to name WNBA player Brittney Griner its ‘Arizonan of the Year,’ and in doing so screwed-up its lead paragraph saying, “A week before the Russian Army invaded Afghanistan, Britney Griner ….”… read more
Commentary
I recently wrote of a new talking point emanating from the left in which the new House majority would be accused of spending all of its time on investigations.
One involving Hunter Biden and his White House access-peddling and another seeking the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his failure to secure our southern border. … read more

I endeavor to keep my commentaries brief because I don’t want to lose you as a reader, but I occasionally find it necessary to expound on a topic in an effort to present the whole story objectively.
In addition, I prefer to keep each post focused on a single topic, but like today, I feel the need to give you my thoughts on several topics as concisely as I am able.… read more

‘Hey, hey, get your program here …you can’t tell the players without a program … hey, hey …’That used to be a familiar shout out one would hear from someone holding a stack of programs as you entered a stadium for a sporting event.
For those of you just coming in from the dark to learn that our politicized FBI was complicit in censoring information about Hunter Biden and the corruption of the Biden family, this should be of interest. … read more
Commentary
Former President Trump is in the news and again charging fake news with reporting what he said with “more disinformation and lies.” Writing in Truth Social last Saturday, he suggested “the termination of all rules … even those found in the Constitution,” as he again returned to voter fraud.
It comes less than a month after his announced plan to again run for the presidency in 2024. … read more
Commentary
When I received my latest edition of Washington Examiner magazine, with the main headline, “Time for Trump to Go,” along with an unflattering cartoon characteristic of the former president, I immediately recalled a magazine cover that shocked the conservative community shortly after his decision to run in 2016.
National Review
It was the February 15, 2016, edition of National Review, with its bright blue cover with the words, “Against Trump” in gold that shocked many conservatives. … read more

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
