Like me, you’re probably tired of hearing about climate change and the dire warnings for the planet.
I have been holding several articles in my stack of stuff to share with you at some point. A pathetic letter to the editor of the Arizona Republic by Michael Hawthorne of Phoenix, spurred me to write this today. … read more
Commentary
While reading Peter Bergen’s piece, “The Last Days of Osama Bin Laden,” in the weekend Wall Street Journal, an account of his last days in the Pakistani compound, Bergen wrote of Bin Laden’s plans for a follow on, “bigger than that of 9/11.”
Bergen wrote of the documents recovered by our Seal team, including some 470,000 computer files from a trove of 10 hard drives, five computers and about 100 thumb drives and disks, containing thousands of pages of his private letters and secret memos. … read more
Commentary
While leafing through my stack of stuff, contemplating a subject for my commentary, the word “democracy” surfaced in a number of articles I had saved for future comment.
Most of us have our own idea of what democracy means to us. Some people equate democracy with patriotism. The simple definition is “rule by the people.” … read more
COMMENTARY
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD that the House and Senate unanimously passed legislation (98-0 in the Senate and 416-11 in the House) to provide visa funding for Afghans who worked along side our troops as translators during the war.
Before you get excited over the fact that our lawmakers finally provided funds for something worthwhile … stop. … read more
Commentary
As I contemplated the subjects I could comment on, of course I thought of Nancy Pelosi’s partisan commission on January 6, 2021. Is anyone paying any attention to it, I thought.
After watching less than a half hour listening to the pathetic testimony by those who were supposed to be guarding the Capitol, I was convinced.… read more

If you think former President Trump is the forgotten man, you’re not paying attention.
Of course, it helps that Kramerontheright makes his home in Arizona, where he’s still very much on the minds of voters, Democrats and Republicans.
Unless you are a subscriber to Fox Nation, and watched his speech to Turning Point’s streaming of his 109-minuite speech to some 5,000 enthusiastic young voters in Phoenix last Saturday, you might think he was down in Florida playing golf.… read more
Commentary
BEAR WITH ME, friends … there’s so much in the stack begging for comment.
“CRABBY JOE” Biden lashed out with “I don’t care if you think I’m Satan reincarnated,” during his appearance on last week’s CNN townhall.
Satan is a bit harsh. With a little of Tim Conway, I was thinking more of Scrooge McDuck, the money-grubbing Disney character, especially when I think about his cockamamie multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill and what it would do to the debt. … read more
Commentary
HE’S BAAAACK – Yes, Kramerontheright is back after a brief respite, shuffling through the stack of stuff for topics to consider for commentary.
Mrs. Kramer and I flew to Minnesota for a long-awaited family visit, skirting downtown Minneapolis, a city I once enjoyed visiting while employed by Honeywell.
It wasn’t until we returned home that the Minneapolis city council voted to reduce the police department’s budget by $8 million, while violent crimes are up 25.7 percent since last year.… read more
Commentary
After foolishly agreeing with the decision to move the MLB’s All-Star Game to Denver, where voting is more restrictive than Atlanta, President Biden’s still out there lying in his effort to gain federal control over all elections.
Our weak-kneed president continues to lie about voting reform, calling it “the greatest threat to our democracy since the Civil War,” and blatantly says “They (Republicans) want to make it so hard and inconvenient that they hope people don’t vote at all.” … read more
Commentary
While researching President Biden’s executive orders and proclamations on terminating construction of the Southern border wall and his revocation of former President Trump’s approval permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, I was again struck by the power we vest in the bureaucracy.
I’m sure you’ve heard Biden speak about his whole-of-government approach to his policy measures, but I thought a reminder of its meaning was called for.… read more
