On September 26, 2024, in my commentary, “C’mon, Get Serious: Kamala Harris as President of the United States?” I credited Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan for referring to Harris as an “artless dodger, (who) evades every question of substance.”
I found Noonan’s perception of a deadlocked race between two presidential candidates quite original, referring to Harris as “Empty,” and Trump as “Awful.”… read more

I thought I had laid out a pretty convincing piece on why the thought of Kamala Harris as president of the United States is unfathomable in my September 16, 2024 edition, “Kamala Harris: The Left’s Pathetic Candidate,” but there’s more to be said.
Recognizing it’s the silly season of politics, I should have concluded with, “to be continued.”… read more

It isn’t difficult to understand how former President Trump has twice been the target of an assassin with the nine-year effort, first to keep him from winning in 2016, continuing with a Russian collusion, two impeachment attempts, and now a renewed attempt to keep him from winning.
While Trump frequently says that the Biden-Harris administration is “destroying the country, both from the inside and out,” and has called Biden and Harris “dumb” he has also nicknamed several Democrats, like “Crooked” Joe Biden, “Comrade” Kamala, and “Newscum” for Governor Newsom, rhetoric that doesn’t come close to that of his opposition.… read more
Commentary
If you’re watching the polls, like me you probably find it hard to believe the presidential race is neck and neck, when Vice President Harris continues to unimpress.
Following her perceived debate win, a number of Americans thought it was all over, but the analysis clearly showed that she was aided by the ABC News moderators, who challenged former President Trump, while allowing her to avoid responding to questions.… read more
Commentary
I again find myself cautioning my conservative friends not to consider former President Trump finished. In my August 15, 2024 edition, “Writing off Trump? Not So Fast,” I wrote about several pundits who saw Trump floundering.
You may recall that even Gerard Baker, the long-time Wall Street Journal columnist, opined, “Trump is Looking Like a Loser Again.”… read more
Commentary
NOTE: Okay … I concede that Vice President Harris did better than expected in the debate and former President Trump was a bit of a disappointment.
Aside from the obvious bias on the part of the ABC moderators, I believe Trump failed in several instances in which he could have effectively responded to Harris’s statements. … read more
Commentary
Here are some stories I gathered from publications, in print and online, that you may have missed.
In Transom, fellow blogger Ben Domenech, writes how some media commentator will write a ludicrous piece about why Republicans should want to lose, suggesting that if the Democrat wins the presidency, they will be restrained by the power of a GOP Congress and the Courts from advancing a truly radical agenda. … read more
Commentary
NOTE: Jared Bernstein, President Biden’s chair of the Council on Economic Advisors graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Music from the Manhattan School of Music, a Master of Social Work from Hunter College, and a Doctor of Social Work from Columbia’s school of social work.
And sixty percent of the Biden-Harris administration have no business experience.… read more

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 32 years since Jim Carville, the colorful Democrat strategist, coined the phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid,” while working on Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, but it’s still applicable today.
Ironically, Carville’s phrase was originally directed at Clinton’s campaign workers for them to focus on, but eventually became a de facto slogan for Clinton’s campaign.… read more
