Much has been written about the life of Sen. Bob Dole since his passing at age 98 on Sunday, but the story that everyone seems to miss is the one of America’s finicky voters.
Here was a man who came from modest means from Kansas, flyover country, who sacrificed his life in World War II, returning with wounds that made his right arm useless after a year of fighting blood clots and infection, still willing to serve his country.… read more

‘It was an opportunity too good to pass up. Fox had been good to me for a decade, but what the heck, I don’t owe them my allegiance.
‘I can’t sit back and allow Tucker Carlson and Fox Nation get away with their attempt to clear Trump from inciting the January 6, 2021 riot and breach of the Capitol.… read more

Some 10 years ago, while writing op-eds and letters to editors while living in the conservative Hill Country of Texas, I enjoyed taking on a handful of Democrat contributors to a regular column in the Boerne Star called “Progressive Views.”
One of the regulars on the left blamed conservatives for “befouling the word liberal to the point that many who possess the qualities of a liberal have abandoned the term in favor of the more palatable word – progressive.”… read more

You may recall the beating former President Trump took in response to his Tweets. In fact, it has been said that Joe Biden was elected because of the public’s frustration with them.
Following the August 2020 shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, candidate Biden Tweeted, “I don’t know whether that 17-year-old kid, exactly what he did, but allegedly he’s part of a militia coming out of state of Illinois,” suggesting he was a white supremacist.… read more

“The fact of the matter is, my Build Back Better agenda costs zero, and it won’t raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year.” President Biden

A day doesn’t go by that I am not embarrassed, disgusted, appalled, angry, outraged, or just plain pissed off with President Biden.
Before he was elected, it was all about his gaffes, but many of us tired of hearing ‘that’s just Ole Joe.’ In office now for less than a year, his gaffes are insignificant compared to his lack of judgement.… read more

It shouldn’t surprise you that President Biden’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, is coming under increased scrutiny in Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion tale.
Sullivan is reportedly the “foreign policy director” referred to in the indictment of Michael Sussmann, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager, determined through e-mail distributions.… read more

In my November 6, 2021 blog, I wrote of Fiona Hill’s effort to bring down the Trump presidency with her impeachment testimony against him.
Obviously disgruntled that the Republican-controlled Senate voted to acquit the president, she bitterly stated that the impeachment “came down to political mud wrestling.”
Space didn’t permit me to include her published opinion that the January 6, 2021 breach of the Capitol was a self-coup by Trump.… read more
