With terrorist incidents involving illegal migrants occurring now on nearly daily basis, the estimated 11 million poorly vetted illegals in our country should continue to concern you, but more so, the estimated two million gotaways who skipped our pathetic asylum system and simply disappeared and could be living near you, and should scare the hell out of you.… read more
Commentary
This edition focuses on two stories I have been following for many years, both of which relate, in their own way, how government involvement, picking winners and losers, can screw things up. I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the June 2, 2025, Newsweek headline: “Thousands of Dead People Got Student Aid, Trump Admin Finds.”… read more
Commentary
Both of President Trump’s two weekend speeches, one a commencement address at West Point, the next his Memorial Day remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, had a national security flavor.
At West Point, he touted his proposed Golden Dome missile defense system and $1 trillion military budget while telling the cadets “You are, as of right now, respected more than any army anywhere in the world.” … read more

While some of you may view this edition as an “I told you so,“ and others will accuse me of “piling on,” I felt compelled to revisit the commentary I wrote over several years while the leftist media and much of the social media chose to cover for former President Biden.… read more

After publishing my last edition, in which I opined on the decision by Mary Barra, as CEO of General Motors, to cave to the pressure of the Biden administration and overly commit her company to go all-electric, news of other carmakers to push back on EVs came to light.
While I did mention the drain on funds at Ford as it reported a loss of $130,000 on each EV produced, I have since learned that the bet they made on EVs, with its 2021 investment announcement of $7 billion to establish not one but two new battery plants in Kentucky, was a mistake. … read more
Commentary
The heading refers to Mary Barra, in her tenth year as the CEO of General Motors, now facing another challenge, which I believe is of her making.
“Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your industry grow,
With Silverado trucks, And Equinox EVs,
And Buick Enclaves all in a row.”… read more
Commentary
I’m back after a brief respite. Back to give you my thoughts on topics from my stack of stuff.
Long Overdue
While President Trump was issuing a sweeping grant of clemency, including full, complete and unconditional pardons for some 1500 participants in the Jan. 6, assault on the Capital, my thoughts were of Ashli Babbitt, the only person killed that day. … read more
Commentary
The questions continue to arise. What’s the future of the Democrat Party? What is their message? Who is leading the party? Crickets.
What we’re hearing today is the same as in 2024 – anti-Trump attacks. Donald Trump swept to victory despite the name-calling and inferences and those unsuccessful attempts to see him jailed. … read more
Commentary
Earlier this month, when the stock market was going wild over the tariff issue, I reminded readers that patience is a virtue. While the market has settled down somewhat, it seems as though some people are now losing faith in President Trump across a range of key issues.
I shouldn’t need to remind people that he has not yet been in office 100 days, but they recall his campaign promises that he will do this or that in his first days in office, namely ending the Ukraine-Russia war and Israel’s conflict with Hamas over Gaza.… read more
Commentary
As an observer of the political scene, especially those making the news in either party, I noted a change in the tone of Elissa Slotkin, Michigan’s newest Senator. I never cease to be amazed at how quickly politics can change not only how a person is viewed, but how that person changes his or her view of what is important.… read more
