Commentary

While I prefer to comment on a single topic in each edition, 24/7 news doesn’t always cooperate.  Sometimes I can put a story in my stack of stuff for a future comment, but not today.

With all the rhetoric coming from Minnesota’s Gov. Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Frey that I believe has contributed to the chaos in Minneapolis, with their urging of obstruction against ICE and other government law enforcement officers, I was struck by the truth in this headline:

And strangely enough, it appeared in the leftist Arizona Republic a publication of the left-leaning USA Today.

Commentary

I was critical of ObamaCare prior to its passage in 2010, writing op-ed pieces and letters to the editors of newspapers while living in Texas. I resumed my fight after moving to Arizona in 2014 when I started my blog commentaries.

I wrote about Obama’s ill-conceived promises and later the lies, and I refuted the act’s costs forecast by OMB, revealing later that I was correct.… read more

Commentary

I began writing a commentary on the Democrat’s reckless funding in support of ObamaCare, but during a coffee break I read two newspaper articles that called for a mention here; primarily because they provide further evidence of poor journalism.  I’ll get back to my original topic the next day or so.… read more

Commentary

Can you think of another topic more ridiculous than common sense when appealing to a group of legislators?  Yet, not since Thomas Paine published his pamphlet on it in 1776, has anyone promoted common sense thinking more than President Trump.

During his signings of legislation, and even executive orders, he regularly references how common sense thinking played a role. … read more

Commentary

In my last edition, I wrote about those who do a lot of talking versus the doers who are action oriented. 

I am always mystified by “talkers,” aka bloviators, in the public sphere who   seem to be oblivious to the digital world in which they operate.  They make outrageous statements that are frequently contrary to earlier recorded remarks.… read more

Commentary

Just when I was preparing to express my disappointment with fellow Americans who complain about President Trump for taking action on something he earlier told us he was going to do and he does it again and the haters couldn’t help themselves. There was the successful hit on Iran, and now a successful raid in Venezuela.… read more

Commentary

In November, I was critical of the slow actions of justice.  Like me, you’ve probably forgotten all about a particular case when out of the blue it appears in the news again, but even then, a sentencing date is often yet to be announced.

I understand how murder trials can take years. … read more

Commentary

I know, lately I have been letting my age creep into my commentaries with references to people no longer in the news.  A few days ago, foreseeing an economic boom in 2026, I wrote of Al Jolson, known for his line, “you ain’t heard nothin’ yet.”

When I saw the headline, “CNN shares breaking news alert and it’s good news for Trump,” my memory went back to Gabriel Heater, the Mutual News broadcaster in the1940s who opened his newscasts with the phrase “there’s good news tonight,” often prefaced with a warm “ahhhh.”… read more

Commentary

Listening to President Trump’s address from the White House in which he predicted an economic boom in 2026, I was reminded of the Al Jolson-Gus Kahn song of the 1950s – “You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet.”

While Jolson sang of courting a young lady in the lyrics, Trump was reiterating his love of America – America First – that was essentially the theme of his address as he reminded Americans how the policies in the Big Beautiful Bill he signed on the Fourth of July, will reap financial gains for us next year.… read more

Commentary

I closed my last edition mentioning that Democrats are going to repeatedly use the word “affordability” in their messaging, but if it’s like their use of the word “democracy” which they overused in 2024, we can imagine that it will not include solutions from their side.

Democrats seem to believe that their mere use of the word affordability alone will help them in their ill-advised attempt to attack President Trump on the economy, but people want lower prices, not more hits on Trump.… read more
