Commentary
Regular readers know that I routinely limit my commentaries to a single topic. When that happens, other comment-worthy topics are relegated to my stack of stuff, off to the side of my desk. So, it’s time for a little catching up.
RULE OF LAW – Like most of you, I find it incredible that one person can alter the rule of law on a whim, usually for political reasons. … read more

President Biden mumbled his way through a press conference in the UK Sunday with his usual stream of “uhm’s” and “a’s” as he was forced to follow prepared notes in the absence of a teleprompter.
He was again given a list of which journalists to call on during the Q&A, and when he strayed from it, he said he was going to get in trouble with staff. … read more
Commentary
President Biden had to be delighted that NBC, in its overview of the G-7 Summit, referred to him as “a veteran statesman … who has traveled the world for decades as vice president and as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.”
Of course, the network failed to mention any foreign policy achievements during his travels.… read more
Commentary
A day doesn’t go by that I don’t believe we’re going to hell in a handbasket. Yet, I continue to be optimistic.
President Biden ignores the significance of the anniversary of D-Day, but tells our troops in the UK that global warming is our biggest threat.
Vice President Harris seeks to find the root cause of the migration and the illegal crossing of our southern border without visiting that border; responding to her failure to visit there with one of her nervous laughs, intended to pass it off as unimportant.… read more
Commentary
CALL IT PROPHETIC, prescient, predictive, or just plain intuition.
The day before the celebration of D-Day, the taking of the Normandy beachhead by Allied Forces, I wrote:
“It is my hope that someone on the White House staff reminds the president of the anniversary of D-Day, and that he pays tribute to those who lost their lives.”… read more
Commentary
In my past recognition of the anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of the beaches of Normandy, June 6, 1944, I wrote of the trip my wife and I took there in 1999. It is among the most memorable of our trips across Europe.
On this, the 77th anniversary, I decided to tell you about a military mission leading up to the invasion that gets little recognition – the capture and securing of Pegasus Bridge at Benouville, France.… read more
Commentary
Long before I became interested in politics, I recall listening to Gabriel Heatter, a radio commentator, with my Dad. With all of the news we are facing, I decided to borrow Heatter’s famous line – “Ah there’s good news tonight” – that he adopted as his catchphrase.… read more
Commentary
At a time when most of us have become weary over what’s happening to our great nation, with the woke mentality, the rewriting of our history, and an administration that is taking us down a path to disaster as it attempts to radically transform our democracy, we do need to wake up.… read more
Commentary
Earlier this month, I wrote about the smug response Jennifer Granholm, Biden’s energy secretary, gave to a reporter who questioned her lack of concern for the significant threat to national security caused by the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline, which serves 45 percent of the gasoline and other fuels on the East Coast.… read more
Commentary
You’ve heard President Biden conclude his speeches with “and may God protect our troops.” I would hope he’s serious, but how can we believe him when he left out any mention of God in his National Prayer Day proclamation?
Then there’s this. On Friday, as he concluded his remarks to service members and their families during his appearance at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, I wondered how many in the audience took him seriously when he said:
“It’s my greatest honor … it should not surprise anybody; it should be anybody’s greatest honor in all of life … to be able to serve as your Commander-in-Chief.… read more
