No Answers. No Accountability

Commentary

When I heard that FBI Director Christopher Wray was going to testify –“grilled” we were told – before the House Judiciary Committee, I had hoped we would finally get some answers on a host of inquiries Republicans have been seeking – Hunter-Biden, the unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago, citizen  surveillance, those censorship meetings with social media execs, discrimination against Catholics, threatening parents who question school boards, and Jan.… read more

Would You Pay to See and Hear Dr. Fauci, Liz Cheney or Stacey Abrams?

Commentary

If you were putting together a series of speakers with luminaries of our time who would provide inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and insight, would Dr. Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, Stacey Abrams, and Judy Woodruff be on your list?  Certainly not mine.

In a full-page advertisement for the Arizona Speaker Series that appeared in a recent edition of the Arizona Republic, those individuals headed the list of guest speakers in the Series’ October-April schedule. … read more

Biden Is Full of It

Commentary

President Biden is full of it, and I think you know what I mean.

Commentary

Oh, there will be fireworks where it is permitted, lots of flags, and perhaps a small parade here and there, and mattress firms and car dealers will be advertising their blockbuster sales, but today, patriotism holds less importance to too many Americans.… read more

Even Economics Experts Can’t Explain Restoring the Economy from the Middle Out and the Bottom Up

Commentary

After perusing the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s Annual Report to Congress on The Nation’s Fiscal Health after it was released last month, it lay in my stack of stuff as I contemplated using the data in my blog.  I’m always concerned about getting into the weeds with boring statistics.

Listening to President Biden’s remarks in Chicago Wednesday, I decided it was time to share with you a summary of the GAO’s findings. … read more

At Least Holder had the Honesty to Admit Obama Was His ‘Boy’

Commentary

During my eight years in the Air Force, I learned about the importance of the wing-man, a pilot flying in formation who provides protection for the primary aircraft.

HOLDER AND HIS “BOY’ (New York magazine)

It was in 2013 that then Attorney General Eric Holder blew the cover of the role of attorney general being an independent arbiter as the top law enforcement official, when he boasted, “I’m the president’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy,” speaking of then President Obama. … read more
