Backstory, a term used in journalism, refers to material gathered in developing a piece that is not included, or cut, before it is published, when a decision is made to omit something for brevity.
Today, I plan to provide you with some interesting backstory material I chose not to use in recent blog coverage.… read more

Normally, an “October Surprise” is an event designed by the opposition to disrupt a campaign the month before an election, however, President Biden’s campaign was the recipient of several events this month, a year early, that reflect poorly not only on his character but his leadership.
If the left thought that the disarray in the House selecting a new speaker would slow down the investigation of Biden corruption, they were wrong.… read more

As usual, my stack of stuff I want to comment on has grown in the past few days. It’s time to share my thoughts with you.
The New Speaker
The few times I saw Rep. Mike Johnson interviewed over the years, I was impressed with his thoughtful, forthright responses to questions.… read more

Regular readers will surely recall that for years I have been highly critical of automakers for giving up on free enterprise and the ability of the consumer to determine the cars and trucks they preferred, and caved to the whims of government.
When I saw the headline – The Auto Makers Cry for EV Mercy – over an opinion piece by the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, it was my opportunity to again address this issue.… read more

I apologize. This is intended to be a conservative political blog, but I am simply tired of writing about the corruption of our current president and his inadequacies, the outlook for former President Trump and the other wannabe’s, the sorry state of our sovereignty with the open border, assisting Ukraine and now Israel, and of course the lack of unity among Republicans in the U.S.… read more

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, all know of Iran’s complicity in the attack, but they too were unwilling to state it. … read more

Perusing my stack of stuff this morning, I discovered a few topics from the political scene that I have intended to share with you, with my comments, of course.
Mitt Romney, RINO
I saved the CNN digital piece about Sen. Mitt Romney’s announcement that he won’t seek reelection because it was another example of how the bias media favors RINOS.… read more

If the members of the U.S. House of Representatives are smart, they’ll avoid a repeat of the ridiculous 15-vote sideshow that finally gave Rep. Kevin McCarthy the speakership in January, and elect Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan on the first vote to show unity.
The disgraceful “Gang of 8” especially need to unite behind Jordan with the hope that their colleagues will put their past foolish gamesmanship behind them.… read more
Commentary
It’s been just seven years ago that Hillary Clinton suggested that half of Donald Trump’s supporters belong in a “basket of deplorables,” but she surfaced this week to recommend now that “there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.”
