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

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

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
Commentary
Ironically, as I use this commentary to call out a newspaper for it’s position I deem to be unfair to the Trump administration and especially Vice President Vance, Gallup released its latest polling revealing that the media hit another all-time low in public trust. Just 31 percent say they trust the media.… read more
Commentary
One might excuse Ukraine President Zelenskyy for not becoming familiar with “The Art of the Deal.” President Trump’s book may have been lost in the destruction of the Kyiv library.
He may not have heard President Trump state in his inaugural address: “(We) will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. … read more
Commentary
Periodically, an annoying reminder to “Consider Taking a Break” appears on the instrument cluster of my new car, but I choose to ignore it, however, family matters matter, so I took a brief break from my commentaries on politics.
But I’m back; hopefully with a few topics you may have missed.… read more
Commentary
The 51 to 47 Senate confirmation of Kash Patel to be FBI director brought out the worst in the Democrats on the Senate Judicial Committee.
In a speech on the Senate Floor just prior to the vote, Dick Durbin predicted Republicans “will come to regret their vote, probably sooner rather than later,” as he launched into a derogatory line stating that Patel “has neither the experience, the judgment, nor the temperament to lead this criminal investigative agency.… read more
