With the stock market reporting a major hit today, it’s no wonder more Americans are queasy over President Trump’s Liberation Day move with tariffs. After all, Gallop tells us that 162 million Americans, or 62 percent of U.S. adults, now own stock.
However, the bottom half own just one percent of all stocks and mutual fund shares, with most of them indirectly holding stocks through a mutual fund, an index fund, or a retirement account, like a 401(k).… read more

It’s that time again when I leaf through my stack of stuff, some old news but worthy of salvaging for my commentary, including those on lawsuits and rogue judges.
No president has faced more charges under the law than President Trump, in his first term, while campaigning for his return to office, and now in his second term.… read more

After publishing my March 25, edition, “Democrats Wrong on Trump’s Adversity to Women,” I was struck by the president’s response to a reporter’s question about women, a question the left has struggled with.
“Since Democrats seem to struggle answering this question,” she asked, “I wanted to ask you, what is a woman, and why is it important that we understand the difference between men and women?”… read more

Donald Trump’s overwhelming victory over Kamala Harris is history, but his success in capturing the votes of women isn’t broadly known. He won 49 to Harris’ 48 percent of women in the 45-64 age group and posted double-digit gains in the 18-29 and 30-44 age groups despite claims by the DNC that his record on issues of importance to women was “abysmal.”… read more

If you thought it would be different after Donald Trump won in 2024 … the attacks on every spoken word and move he makes … by now you must recognize that you were wrong, so wrong. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) lives.
Trump himself hasn’t changed. He’s open to questions from the press all day long and sometimes into the evening, during executive order signings, during visits by dignitaries, or during special recognition ceremonies. … read more

I have previously quoted opinion columnist Phil Boas, who provides the only conservative viewpoints allowed by the editor of the left-leaning Arizona Republic, so when I read the headline, “Mark Kelly is no traitor,” over his Sunday edition column, I stopped to read it.
Boas’ column addressed Elon Musk’s calling Kelly a traitor for going to Ukraine, sending a mixed message of Trump’s policy. … read more

“It is not because of creative ideas, it is not because of the merit of our position, it is not because we care abut children, it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power and we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year because they believe we are the union that can most effectively represent them, the union that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.”… read more
Commentary
The leftist media have found a new target in Elon Musk and they’re making fools of themselves just as they did when Donald Trump was the primary target.
Their latest “scoop” was their fabricated (fake news) story of a conflict between Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio that supposedly surfaced during a cabinet meeting.… read more
Commentary
Amid the squawks over President Trump’s decisions on tariffs and the efforts of Elon Musk’s DOGE team to weed out fraud and abuse while improving efficiency in a smaller government, the leaderless Democrat party, having no solutions of its own, has taken to TikTok with silly song and dance routines.… read more
Commentary
After the welcoming applause had subsided, President Trump emphatically announced, “America is back!” And he was off on a speech clocked at an hour and forty minutes as Republicans loudly applauded again.
With the limited space I have, I couldn’t begin to cover the multitude of topics President Trump included in his lengthy speech to Congress and the American people Tuesday night, so I’ll give you a sampling of opinions that made sense to me.… read more
