During an appearance on MSNBC this week with Andrea Mitchell, Nancy Pelosi was asked if she had a chance to “patch things up” with the Bidens. After a curt, “No, I haven’t,” she framed her political effort as part of a larger battle against President Trump, stating that preventing his return to the White House had been a key motivator in her decisions.… read more

Last August, when I wrote, “It’s Time to Pull the Plug on the Outlandish Spending on Climate Change,” I recall thinking it was going to be the last piece I would be writing on the subject. After all, public concern over climate change barely made the list of the top10 issues on their minds.… read more

Each of us, at some point in our lives, has more than likely said or wrote something we later wished we hadn’t. Perhaps politicians are more guilty of this as they make off the cuff remarks during exchanges during their campaigns.
Three such instances surfaced during the confirmation hearings for cabinet nominees Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard.… read more

BUT FIRST, the selection of Sen. Adam Schiff to receive the well-earned “honor” of being my February 1 Fool’s Day winner. How ironic, Schiff, who was never ordered to turn over the conclusive evidence he claimed to have against Trump’s collusion with Russia while going after Trump in 2016 as a member of the House, is now a Senator going after Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee to head the FBI.… read more

Some of you may recall, “Boo Hoo – No Tears Here for Auto Manufacturers,” my October 23, 2023, response to the Wall Street Journal editorial board’s opinion piece, “The Auto Makers Cry for EV Mercy.
Biden the Shakedown Artist
For years I had been critical of automaker CEO’s for giving up on free enterprise and the ability of the customer to decide the cars and trucks they preferred and caved to the Biden administration’s green EV mandate.… read more

With Donald Trump having returned to the presidency with overwhelming electoral and popular votes, Senate and House Republicans should be thankful that their majorities, though slim, give the president an opportunity to carry out his agenda and fulfill the promises he made campaigning.
He put forth a slate of cabinet nominees with the simple request to the Senate to confirm the individuals he believes will best help him carry out his America first agenda.… read more

In recent editions, I have written about the priority issues that helped President Trump win reelection, his positions on immigration, inflation and the price of goods, and “drill baby drill,” the return to energy independence.
He signed hundreds of orders covering those topics and many others he promised to address on Day One, and for the most part, Americans are happy.… read more
Commentary
During President Trump’s campaign, the left not only spoke of the risk he posed to democracy, but the retribution they were certain he would inflict on those who viciously tried to keep him from returning to office.
He insisted that his retribution would be in the success of his administration. … read more

In his victory speech, celebrating his historical political comeback, President-Elect Trump declared, “This will forever be remembered as the day the American people regained control of their country and promised to lead his administration in a new “golden age of America.”
“We will make America safe, strong, prosperous, powerful and free again,” he said, citing his mandate to close our border and deport bad actors, address inflation and bring down the cost of goods and services, and to “drill baby drill” our way back to energy independence.… read more

President Biden’s farewell address to the nation was as devoid of substance as the cleared top of the Resolute desk he sat behind. It was as if “the speechwriters had already left the building,” remarked Fox’s Dana Perino afterward.
“Instead of capping his life-long political career with a unifying message, finding some hope for the future, built on what he and his administration achieved as a new foundation, Biden sounded like a mean, bitter old man, which is what he is,” wrote Ben Domenech.… read more
