You may have read or heard recently that the criminal investigation of former President Trump’s business dealings in New York is expected to die when the grand jury in question ends its term in April.
Like me, you may have wondered, since when do banks take a borrower’s word for the value of real estate when they make loans secured by property? … read more

I find that there are a couple of topics that I have recently touched on that require a bit of follow-up.
On Election Fraud
While I have written extensively on voting irregularities that have surfaced regarding the 2020 election, and recently mentioned that I believed it was necessary for the Republican Party to put the 2020 election behind us and concentrate on the integrity of the upcoming 2022 and 2024 elections, a new report out of Wisconsin is important to note.… read more

Unlike most Americans, I watched President Biden deliver his State of the Union address so that I can provide you with my commentary.
Before he began, sure that Ukraine was going to be the primary topic, I began thinking about those of you who think we shouldn’t be involved in the Ukraine situation.… read more

A NEW CNN/SSRS poll reports that President Biden’s numbers are worse than Jimmy Carter’s at the same period of his presidency. That shouldn’t surprise you.
IN THE LATEST MARIST poll, two thirds of independent voters disapprove of Biden, including half, who strongly disapprove. Just 29 percent of independents approve of his performance.… read more

“I am a master legislator. I just love it. I consider myself a weaver, like I have a loom. And I bring all these different threads together.” – Nancy Pelosi, October 29, 2017
Those were her words from an interview with the Washington Post.
Those “threads” she now faces are the handful in the socialist progressive caucus, who are holding the infrastructure bill hostage. … read more

WHY, GEORGE, WHY?
I thought it made sense that George W. Bush accepted an invitation to speak at the 9/11 memorial service in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on the occasion of the event’s 20th anniversary.
Since leaving office, “W” has pretty much refrained from making political statements, often referring to the presidents’ “brotherhood.”… read more

I recently wrote of my disappointment in the Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton retreads who are advising President Biden, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who you may recall “midwifed” the transfer of pallets of cash to Iran as part of the nuclear deal.
As I watched Binken’s unemotional, teleprompter-aided speech on Monday, I was reminded of Scott Johnson’s PowerLine reporting of Blinken’s August 26, 2021 press briefing, in which he described him as representing the “face of defeat,” while trying to proclaim success with the withdrawal mission.… read more

As I watched President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden stand there on the Dover Air Force Base tarmac Sunday as the bodies of the 13 service members killed in Afghanistan passed in front of them during the precision transfer of the caskets from the C-17 to awaiting hearses, I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through their minds.… read more

I ask for your indulgence with this blog piece as I focus on Arizona politics. I wouldn’t do it, however, if it didn’t have national meaning and consequences.
Our two senators, Democrats Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly, need no introduction. They’ve been in the news lately because they hold the key votes if the Democrats are going to pass the $3.5 trillion bill.… read more

Long before I became interested in politics, I recall listening to Gabriel Heatter, a radio commentator, with my Dad. With all of the news we are facing, I decided to borrow Heatter’s famous line – “Ah there’s good news tonight” – that he adopted as his catchphrase.… read more
