FLASHBACK – In my last blog post I wrote of weak-kneed senators, unwilling to fight for Republican values, referred to as “squishes” by Kurt Schlichter in Townhall. Well, Sen. Tom Cotton is no squish.
Despite the fact that Vanita Gupta, Biden’s nominee for associate attorney general, is certain to be confirmed, Cotton confronted her over her earlier comment that “there is not an institution in this country that isn’t suffering from institutional racism.”… read more
“SQUISHES” is the term Kurt Schlichter used to appropriately describe the Republican senators who have decided not to run for office again, in his Townhall piece, “The GOP Squishes Retire.”
Perhaps your children or grandchildren have a Squish or more that they play with; they are spongy toys that come in shapes, including odd characters and animals.… read more

PATHETIC – That’s the word I believe best describes President Biden’s TV appearance Thursday night. On one hand, there were those who had high expectations on the one-year anniversary of the pandemic. On the other hand, there were those with mixed expectations.
I am sure there were Biden supporters who were pumped. … read more

IN SEARCH OF OUR SOUL – When Joe Biden launched his bid for the presidency in 2019, he said, “we are in a battle for the soul of the nation,” as he drifted off into a bit of mumbo jumbo about ending the “divisiveness that has marked the last four years.”… read more

Having had it up to here with things I see happening in our country, on February 9, 2021 I wrote, “Stop the world, I want to get off,” but the world won’t stop and neither does the nonsense.
We have the cancel culture working overtime to discover wrongs from our past.… read more

WELCOME NEWS – A dozen members of the 150-member Republican Study Committee met last week with former Vice President Mike Pence to hash out conservative priorities for the party with some internal division as to who will lead it, according to Susan Ferrechio of the Washington Examiner.
In discussions on the agenda going forward, they indicated it would center on the usual GOP issues – national defense, anti-abortion policies and election security – it would center on advocating and defending the Trump administration record.… read more

Get used to it. Trumpism is here to stay, whether the 45th president decides to run for reelection in 2024 or not.
The principles of Trumpism really aren’t new, it just took Donald Trump to salvage them from a feckless establishment Republican Party.
I touched on the key elements of Trumpism in my March 1, 2021 blog, in which I recounted Trump’s CPAC speech when he said that liked it, but didn’t come up with it originally.… read more

“Trump 2024 Is (Practically) Inevitable,” writes Roger L. Simon in The Epoch Times, after hearing the former president speak at the Conservative Political Action Committee gathering in Florida.
“I am going to suggest that we may be getting an improved version … he looked younger and fitter. Will he change?… read more

While I had hoped former President Trump wouldn’t name names of those RINOs of the House and Senate, who disappointingly joined the left by repeating his supposed incitement of supporters on January 6, 2021, he levelled a full-throated rebuke of them.
And he continued to talk about his reelection being stolen, while emphasizing the need to promote voter integrity in the states.… read more

As expected, over the past few days we have seen little honest coverage of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) meeting in Orlando, Florida. But hold on to your MAGA caps, you are about to be hit with a barrage of anti-Trump stories interpreting what the former president had to say as CPAC’s premier closer on Sunday
“You can see the headlines,” writes John Daniel Davidson in his piece, “Prepare for a Deluge of Dishonest CPAC Coverage,” in The Federalist, suggesting, “The Ten Craziest Things Said at CPAC.”… read more
