We’re seeing strange things happening in the media. As I contemplated it, I was reminded of the 1953 record release, “Strange Things Are Happening,” by Red Buttons.
Older readers of this blog may remember it. When he appeared on television, he would cup his ear and sing “ho ho … he he … ha ha” between the lyric verses
While Buttons was better known for his movie supporting roles in “The Longest Day,” “Hatari!,”… read more

Not a day goes by that I don’t hear or read something about climate change that doesn’t bring laughter from this blogger.
Just last week, I wrote about dogsledders in southwest Michigan who were complaining that because of climate change, the frost-free season grew by 16 days over the past 66 years, resulting in less snowfall.… read more

There’s a quote again circulating the Internet said to be a translation into English from a newspaper in the Czech Republic that I have been unable to authenticate, but I thought I would share excerpts with you because, whoever wrote it, abroad or here at home, it’s on the mark.… read more

I found it astonishing that within a few days, President Biden talked of a new world order, intimated we might answer Russia’s use of chemicals in kind, suggested that the 82nd Airborne might see action in Ukraine, and most recently he seemed to call for Putin’s ouster through regime change.… read more

I recently wrote of watching Democrats criticizing each other, like the members of the radical squad – Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Talib and Pressley – attacking Sen. Joe Manchin over his lack of support for the massive Build Back Better legislation.
It isn’t new. In December, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni wrote a piece, “Democrats’ Dangerous Appetite for Eating Their Own.… read more

The late Rush Limbaugh frequently devoted time on his radio show to expound on words having meaning, often quoting former President Reagan, who had a way with words.
I thought of Rush when I heard President Biden’s testy response to a remark by CBS’s Christina Ruffini during his press briefing in Brussels Thursday.… read more

I was delighted to read that “The apocalyptic talk about climate change is nothing more than a diversion tactic by the government, the radical left, and the mainstream press,” in “Climate Change is About Control, Stupid – Not the Environment,” a piece written by William L. Kovacs, someone familiar with the ways of Washington.… read more
Commentary
I have frequently devoted space to call for individuals to be held accountable for their actions. Hillary Clinton for the loss of lives in Benghazi and President Biden for the loss of lives in his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, are two that come to mind.
I’m still hopeful that Special Counsel John Durham will reveal those accountable for the four-year deep state effort to accuse President Trump of colluding with Russians. … read more
Commentary
The Democrat Party is known for its identity politics and have labeled Republicans as “racists,” “misogynists,” “nationalists,” and “white supremacists,” among others.
Worried about their own label as “liberals,” that conjured up a negative connotation, they began referring to themselves as “progressives,” supposedly more favorably looked upon as a group with a belief in improving the environment, conditions of life and a duty to take care of economic and social affairs.… read more
Commentary
During the 2020 presidential campaign, there was a lot of talk about the need to replace the Twitter-happy guy in the White House and bring decency back; forget all of that he achieved while being constantly harassed with that Russian collusion hoax.
We frequently heard the tired plea from the left, ‘we need to have an adult in the White House.’ … read more
