It’s hard to believe that it’s been 32 years since Jim Carville, the colorful Democrat strategist, coined the phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid,” while working on Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, but it’s still applicable today.
Ironically, Carville’s phrase was originally directed at Clinton’s campaign workers for them to focus on, but eventually became a de facto slogan for Clinton’s campaign.… read more

THE LIFE OF TIM WALZ, Vice President Harris’s running mate, has become an open book; surely, it’s something he expected when he accepted the role.
Like me, perhaps you have already heard enough to recognize that he is not national leadership material. You have probably heard about his statement that led people to believe he carried an AR-15 in combat and his claim of attaining the rank of Command Sergeant Major in the National Guard, but his actions as governor are just beginning to come to light.… read more

Since the close of the DNC convention, my stack of stuff on Harris and Walz has grown, replete with embarrassing quotes that question her qualifications for president.
As I began refreshing my memory as to why I saved various documents, the job became overwhelming, causing me to rethink my intention of providing you with a clear picture of Harris, and why she would be bad for our country.… read more

Not since Barack Obama’s presidential run in 2008 have I read such drivel as I did earlier this week when I read Dan Balz’s analysis column on Kamala Harris in the Washington Post.
But first, three Flashbacks
You may recall reading or hearing about New York Times faux conservative columnist David Brooks’ claim in 2008 that “Obama would be a tremendous president because of the sharp crease in his pants.”… read more

Supposedly, Democrats are known for their values of compassion and decency, but it’s all rhetoric, and for those who didn’t watch the Democrat convention week, I’ll give you a taste.
It all began when they scheduled President Biden’s farewell speech on the first night, when individuals of lesser position are routinely scheduled. … read more

Before reading the Wall Street Journal editorial board’s lead opinion piece on Monday, “Joe Biden’s Sad Presidential Legacy,” I had been thinking about the Democrat Party coup that eliminated him from the presidential race.
Of course, we all knew it was his disastrous debate performance that triggered party bigwigs – Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi – to put the pressure on him; the same people who, among others, had earlier attempted to convince us he was still sharp as a tack, representing a major coverup.… read more

No, I’m not talking about Vice President Harris‘s goofy running mate selection of Tim Walz, I’m referring to her repeated statement, “We’re not going back.” It provides me with so much material that enables me to use her words, the words of her supporters, and, of course, the words of realists.… read more

With just 81 days left, several political pundits, even some of the “friendly’s,” have gotten their pants (panties) in a wad recently over former President Trump’s campaign, seeing him on a path to losing again.
Even Gerard Baker, the long time Wall Street Journal columnist, who opined Tuesday, “Trump Is Looking Like a Loser Again.” … read more

“The rapidly rising federal debt will cause substantially more damage to the U.S. economy in coming years than climate change,” stated the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office on Monday.
It’s a provocative statement that should make Democrats reconsider their climate-centered agenda, and be a wake-up call to the Harris-Walz campaign. While Vice President Harris is likely to build on that of the Biden administration, she has refrained from any detailed policy discussion.… read more

I once admired the wordsmithing talent of Peggy Noonan, who was a speechwriter for President Reagan, often reminding my readers of her words in the former president’s “these are the boys of Pointe du Hoc” speech during the 40th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1984.
“For sheer oratorical elegance,” historian Douglas Brinkley wrote, it would become “one of the most inspirational presidential speeches delivered.”… read more
