Trump’s Latest Pick of Patel as FBI Director has the Left Freaking Out

Commentary

Watching the likes of former FBI Director Andrew McCabe and others on the left, squirm over President Elect Trump’s selection of Kash Patel to serve as FBI director is so satisfying.

Six months ago, I recall McCabe’s concern over the possibility of Trump winning.  Appearing on CNN, where he is laughingly a senior law enforcement analyst, he was asked if he worried about what Trump might do, he said he worried that Trump would have him and other agents “thrown in jail.”… read more

In my November 18, 2024 blog, I made note of how the biased campaign coverage led to the leftist media losing viewers and readers, and I answered my own question – would that be a wake-up call for them – Nah.… read more

Arizona Republic Editorial Columnist: A Gift that Keeps on Giving

Commentary

On October 15, 2018, I referred to Elvia Diaz, an editorial staff member of the left-leaning Arizona Republic, as “an embarrassment,“ citing her editorial in which she wrote, “incivility has its place in these divisive times of ours.”
