Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Accountability Committee, finally got a look at that document a whistleblower claimed contained information that then Vice President Biden was involved in a $5 million bribery scheme.
With the threat of a subpoena, FBI Director Christopher Wray allowed that the document could be viewed at the agency’s headquarters but they would not be permitted to take possession of it. … read more

On this Memorial Day weekend, I want to recognize the men and women in uniform who have given their lives in support of America and the Constitution.
Memorial Day officially became a national holiday in 1971, after formerly being known as Decoration Day, when Americans visited local cemeteries to place flowers on family grave sites.… read more

Biden-Trump
While former President Trump currently has a wide lead looking ahead to 2024, and a majority of Americans have made it clear they don’t want President Biden to run again, I keep hearing that Biden would win again in a Trump-Biden general election.
So, it’s memories of Trump’s behavior, often described as ‘not presidential,’ and his legal battles, against Biden’s age deficit and family ties to corruption being slow-walked by the Justice Department.… read more

As I prepare to depart on a short vacation, I felt the need to comment on a few stories that came to my attention while clearing my desk.
Biden’s Commencement Address
As I listened to President Biden giving his commencement address to graduates of the historically black Howard University, my mind wandered to his polarizing speech on Republican extremism in Philadelphia, standing in front of a blood-red Hitler-like backdrop waving his clenched fists in the air in defiance.… read more
Commentary
By now you should be aware that there are two competing conceptions of American governance: the version taught in the classroom and the one that exists in the real world.
The differences were clearly defined in an op-ed recently written by David Bernhardt, former interior secretary, and published in the Wall Street Journal.… read more

Realizing that there have been cyclical changes in our climate over centuries, I continue to be critical of the scare tactics leftists are attaching to drought, floods, wildfires, and natural disasters like tornados and hurricanes.
Of course, they blame our use of fossil fuels and the emissions being the primary cause and the Biden administration is throwing billions of dollars at an effort to go all-electric without considering the consequences.… read more

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the media as you have probably detected from my recent posts on the media’s complicity with the deep state in helping Joe Biden win in 2020.
In my last post, “From Newsroom Nostalgia to the Truth in Reporting,” I shared with you quotes by columnists from various publications you may not read, because they are primarily from the elite east coast or the Beltway.… read more

Checking my archives, in the past eight years I have written about the death of journalism 18 times, citing evidence of such mainly in the so-called mainstream media – The New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC.
After reading New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd’s recent opinion piece, “Requiem for the Newsroom,” I felt it was time to write my 19th commentary on the subject.… read more

“Who’s Ready for Biden vs. Trump, Round Two?” – The Wall Street Journal
“Look at people’s faces when you say, ‘Looks like it’ll be Biden and Trump.’ These faces tell you everything – the soft wince, the shake of the head, the sigh. Those are the emblems of the 2024 campaign now.”… read more

There were sayings in my childhood, and probably yours too, that we routinely said, like “Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me,” and “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire.”
We said Liar, Liar Pants on Fire when someone was caught in a lie.
We saw the movie Pinocchio, in which the character Jiminy Cricket played the role of Pinocchio’s conscience, attempting to guide him in matters of right and wrong.… read more
