“For the evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination … you have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry. The movement built by my husband will not die.” Erika Kirk

Have you heard about Operation Arctic Frost? No, it isn’t a plan to acquire Greenland. However, when it was mentioned by Senator Grassley during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Patel, I became curious.
It surfaced during a shouting match between Senator Schiff and Patel when Schiff demanded to know whether Patel had ever terminated or disciplined an FBI employee because they had been assigned or worked on an investigation of Trump or January 6.… read more

On Wednesday, a cowardly assassin’s bullet accomplished what the liberal media have been trying to do with words. To stop Charlie Kirk and his Turning Point organization, advocates for free speech.
While the left attempted to block his appearances where he tried to have an open dialogue with attendees at his events, left-leaning columnists like the Arizona Republic’s E.… read more

For as long as I have been publishing political commentary, I have been writing about the climate change hoax, not as a denier because I believe climate does change, but as one who refuses to believe we can control it. It’s cyclical.
This past weekend, I read two articles on climate change. … read more
Commentary
As a political commentator, I often use this space to criticize politicians, Democrat and Republican, but as a journalist I frequently find it appropriate to also pick on those who don’t do justice to the profession.
This past week, two leftist columnists with the Arizona Republic, who have often been on the receiving end of my criticism – Laurie Roberts and Elvia Diaz – have called it quits, and I won’t have them to kick around anymore, to borrow a phrase from former President Nixon.… read more
Commentary
When given the opportunity, Trump-hating Democrats regularly take advantage of a hearing or a news program interview to criticize the president.
At a Senate Finance Committee hearing this week, they attacked Trump by attacking a Trump cabinet member.
Democrats were successful in keeping Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. off presidential ballots in 2024, and they’re now out to get him to resign or get fired as Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary.… read more

For those not paying attention, and I understand why, Democrats held their summer meeting, looking for fresh ideas going into 2026, in Minneapolis, home of a loser, Tim Walz.
Having forgotten that it was his party’s clinging to DEI that was one of the reasons Harris-Walz lost, Walz said, “We are proud of the diversity in this country. … read more
Commentary
I have often written about President Trump’s energy, seemingly boundless, as he deals with domestic and foreign issues 24/7 and still has time to work in a round of golf. And a day doesn’t pass that he doesn’t spend time answering questions by the media.
While reporting on his energy, the media usually focuses on his apparent need for few hours of sleep, fellow blogger, Francis Menton, led into a piece on the president’s first seven months with reference to Federalist Number 70 and Alexander Hamilton’s pitch for a strong unitary executive. … read more
Commentary
With 70 years in communications, I pay attention to the words people – primarily politicians and other public figures – use as they speak to their constituencies.
I could give you a long list of favorites, but I must again quote the late Rush Limbaugh, arguably one of the best modern-day wordsmiths, who often declared that “words mean things.” … read more
Commentary
During President Trump’s first term, I recall quoting from Psychology Today, in which it stated that there was “no shared lay understanding of TDS,” assigning it to a folk category rather than a professional category.
The publication noted that “some people have been seriously disturbed and distressed by the policies, speech, behavior, and tweets of President Trump, so much so that it has affected their cognitive, affective, and behavioral functioning.… read more
