Those of you who are regular readers will recall my frequent rants about those unelected bureaucrats who control our government, and understand my delight in absorbing what President Trump, with the help of Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are undertaking to diminish big government’s impact on our lives.… read more

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.

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

Biden the Shakedown Artist

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
Commentary
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.

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.”
