As Vice President Harris panders to blacks, especially men lately, for political purposes, I’m reminded of President Biden, blatantly pandering at all black Morehouse College
“Instead of a trail of broken promises, we’re investing more money than ever in Black families and Black communities. We’re removing every lead pipe in America so every child can drink clean water without fear of brain damage.… read more

With Election Day just a couple of weeks away, how can anyone believe that a voter has yet to make up his or her mind about either Trump-Vance or Harris-Walz?
In this era of 24/7 news and various social media outlets, I’m beginning to have misgivings about the knowledge of voters, even though candidates like to say, “American voters are smart.” … read more

Listening to Vice President Harris’s campaign speech at Washington’s Crossing, Pennsylvania Wednesday, I was struck by her sharpened attacks on former President Trump.
“It is clear Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged … unfit to serve … fascist to the core … dangerous to this country” … were among her attack lines, some hers and some she attributed to former Trump advisors.… read more

Ironically, as I leafed through the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal, I saw a feature, “Where Do Never Trumpers Go From Here,” a subject on my blog to do list.
As I read the subhead on the Journal piece, It’s decision time for the five tribes of the anti-Trump right, I wondered which tribe my friend, Tom, would belong.… read more

There she is, Kamala Harris, “The Candidate of Our Times,” according to the November edition of Vogue magazine.
How inopportune for the candidate, who claims a middle-class upbringing, and is now struggling to win over middle-class voters, to allow herself to be featured on the cover of a magazine published for “women 20 to 40, who are successful and beautiful and want to be aware of all novelties in fashion and beauty.”… read more

Facing criticism over the lack of unscripted interviews since entering the race, Vice President Harris went on a media blitz that did little to convince voters that she was presidential material.
Of the four shows on which she appeared, only 60 Minutes gave her an opportunity to show her credentials on what is considered a “news” show, unlike The View, Stephen Colbert, Howard Stern and Call Her Daddy, all unserious talk shows, and she squandered it.… read more

The Communicator
When former President Trump took the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania Saturday, where a would-be assassin’s bullet grazed his right ear 12 weeks ago, he turned slightly to the right for seconds before saying, “As I was saying.” The crowd, in excess of 100,000, roared.

Sacramento, Mesa, Kansas City, Atlanta, Colorado Springs, Omaha, and Raleigh are all cities with populations of approximately 530,000. In addition, Miami, Virgina Beach, Long Beach, Oakland, and Minneapolis have populations of about 400,000.
No … this isn’t a geography demographics test. I just want you to have a clear idea of why these numbers should be of importance to you as an American taxpayer as immigration and the economy top the list voter concerns.… read more

“When Vice President Dick Cheney left office, his approval rating stood at a staggering low 13 percent. Few political figures have been so reviled.” – from Remembering Why Americans Loathe Dick Cheney, by Conor Friedersdorf, in The Atlantic.
We’ve seen it before, primarily among fickle Democrats, who have turned once hated Republicans into saints, however, it usually happens after someone passes away. … read more
Commentary
I have frequently been critical of the Biden administration’s oft-repeated effort to paint former President Trump as a threat to our democracy commenting on the left’s playbook of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
I’ve decided to address this issue again since Democrat Tim Walz and Special Counsel Jack Smith recently surfaced Trump’s threat to democracy in the January 6 riot on the Capitol.… read more
