With America’s 250th birthday celebration very much in the news as we close in on the Fourth of July, have you been paying attention to the media focus on the survey finding that only 27 percent of Democrats intend to display the American flag on the Fourth, and that just 19 percent of Democrats express pride in being American?… read more

As I publish this edition, the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran was being released. I was struck that in paragraph three, it states that “The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran commit to negotiating and achieving the final deal in maximum 60 days, extendable with mutual consent.”… read more

“We’re in a battle for the very soul of America. I ran for president in 2020 because of what I saw in Charlottesville in August of 2017. Extremists coming out of the woods carrying torches, their veins bulging from their necks, carrying Nazi swastikas and chanting the same exact antisemitic bile that was heard in Germany in the early 30s.”… read more

Last week, I commented on the changes underway at CBS News and only briefly mentioned that 60 minutes anchor Scott Pelley allowed his ego to take control of his brain.

Yesterday, I devoted much of my blog to the viewership problems facing the legacy television networks as Americans are finding different sources for news.

I’ve seen a number of movies depicting D-day, June 6, 1944, the invasion of Normandy, but the producers of the latest film, “Pressure,” is quite different in that it captured the tense 72 hours before the landing was given a “go.”
The Allied forces – the United States Great Britain and Canada – sought to gain a foothold in France, launching the largest amphibious invasion in history, Operation Overlord, and its success relied heavily on the weather.… read more

While Americans are feeling the pinch pumping gas at the pump, President Trump insists that the prices will fall once that “great deal” is negotiated with Iran. He has asked Americans to understand that it’s a small price to pay for national security. They understand that but it it’s difficult to think about stopping the ‘hate America’ crowd on the other side of the world when you’re holding a gas receipt of $75 or $80 in your hand.… read more

While most voters are naturally concerned with the price of gas at the pump, those who are politically minded worry about how it might affect GOP support in the midterms.
During a recent gaggle with reporters, President Trump repeatedly insisted that gas prices will come down after the negotiations with Iran.… read more

Like Kamala Harris, the Biden’s are in the news again, but not to help the Democrat Party when it needs it.
Former first lady Jill Biden made headlines when she made a stunning admission of what many debate viewers I’m sure considered – that her husband was “having a stoke.”… read more

While former First Lady Michelle Obama appears on podcasts making odd remarks about the former president and their marriage, and Joe Biden has been absent, Barack Obama “is one of the best surrogates” the party has at the moment, according to Democrat strategist Andrea Riccio.
He made campaign appearances for the gubernatorial winners in New Jersey and Virginia and recently he was in Texas spinning for gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa and senate candidate James Talarico.… read more
