While driving recently, I heard a recording of Richard Nixon’s nomination acceptance speech of August 8, 1968, listening to a conservative talk show. I was struck by the content, realizing it could have been given today.
I thought I would borrow some of his words and insert in italics the similarities with issues of today, 56 years later. … read more

When I saw the April 30, 2024 cover of Time magazine featuring former President Trump in a serious, but casual pose with the title, “If He Wins,” I got to thinking about another cover, on the February 15, 2016 of National Review magazine emblazoned with the words, “Against Trump” in gold over a blue background.… read more

Pardon me, but I’m feeling a bit smug. Nearly a year ago, on July 24, 2023, I introduced you to Jared Bernstein, chairman of Biden’s council of economic advisors.
It was his appearance on Fox Sunday News that he became known to me. Host Shannon Bream asked him, “How did the White House get this so wrong?”… read more

After devoting my April 21, 2024 blog to six women in the news, I find that women again dominate the political news.
Vice President Harris
I’m sure the vice president’s handlers snapped up the opportunity for her to appear on the Drew Barrymore Show last week. … read more

Watching the coverage of the protests on some of our leading colleges and universities, it’s quite obvious that the news media has again been caught with its intellectual pants down.
We’ve seen it in their coverage of the economy, the environment, and a number of other topics of which they have no depth or any curiosity. … read more

MAY FOOL’S DAY honors go to President Biden, who again made a fool of himself at the annual Correspondent’s Dinner, yukking it up while purposely ignoring the “peaceful” protesting at college campuses for political reasons. Not a good decision.
Biden took advantage of the ballroom filled with many of his sycophants to plea for support “with all due respect,” adding, “I think, in your hearts, you know what’s at stake. … read more

“I want to thank you for your compassion. We’re lucky to have you in the Oval Office and serving as the father of the country.” – Howard Stern
That embarrassing quote, an insult to George Washington, along with the gratuitous line, “I want to thank you for providing a calming, influential and organized administration,” came from President Biden’s hour-long appearance Friday on “The Howard Stern Show,” syndicated on Sirius XM radio.… read more

I purposely avoided any mention of Earth Day on April 22, 2024, because as Veronique De Rugy so appropriately put it in Reason Magazine, “It’s time to stop freaking out about humanity’s imminent demise.”
But those who are freaking out, like President Biden, who has been taking us down the path to economic ruin with his fanciful plan to transform our source of energy from fossil fuels to alternate sources like wind and solar, used the day to announce further steps at taxpayer expense.… read more

Dateline: Charlottesville, Virginia, August 12, 2017, a Neo-Nazi rally. It’s the story that keeps on giving to this day. Since then, as candidate and later as President Joe Biden, he has frequently repeated an account of the event as if he were there, as in many of his fabricated tales. … read more

A national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute found that 28 percent of likely voters would engage in at least one kind of illegal voting practice if that was “the only way to stop” an opposing candidate from winning, while 72 percent say they would not cheat.… read more
