Commentary

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

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.

Who, other than Trump, could begin drawing a crowd at 6 a.m.,… read more

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

We are now witnessing the election year “October surprise?” that is sure to affect the success of the Harris-Walz ticket, as dockworkers from Maine to Texas out on strike, a move that is sure to seriously affect the supply chain for a wide-variety of goods.

Already guilty of fostering policies that have increased prices at the pump, in supermarkets and for services, a long strike going into Election Day will now be on the minds of voters in the next 30 days.… read more

On September 26, 2024, in my commentary, “C’mon, Get Serious: Kamala Harris as President of the United States?” I credited Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan for referring to Harris as an “artless dodger, (who) evades every question of substance.”

I found Noonan’s perception of a deadlocked race between two presidential candidates quite original, referring to Harris as “Empty,” and Trump as “Awful.”… read more

Commentary

I thought I had laid out a pretty convincing piece on why the thought of Kamala Harris as president of the United States is unfathomable in my September 16, 2024 edition, “Kamala Harris: The Left’s Pathetic Candidate,” but there’s more to be said.

Recognizing it’s the silly season of politics, I should have concluded with, “to be continued.”… read more

Commentary

It isn’t difficult to understand how former President Trump has twice been the target of an assassin with the nine-year effort, first to keep him from winning in 2016, continuing with a Russian collusion, two impeachment attempts, and now a renewed attempt to keep him from winning.

While Trump frequently says that the Biden-Harris administration is “destroying the country, both from the inside and out,” and has called Biden and Harris “dumb” he has also nicknamed several Democrats, like “Crooked” Joe Biden, “Comrade” Kamala, and “Newscum” for Governor Newsom, rhetoric that doesn’t come close to that of his opposition.… read more

Commentary

If you’re watching the polls, like me you probably find it hard to believe the presidential race is neck and neck, when Vice President Harris continues to unimpress.

Following her perceived debate win, a number of Americans thought it was all over, but the analysis clearly showed that she was aided by the ABC News moderators, who challenged former President Trump, while allowing her to avoid responding to questions.… read more
