Why The Democrats Side With Terrorists

   Will the Biden administration keep trying to restart some kind of "deal" with Iran, after they sponsored the HAMAS terrorist attack on Israel? I think they will, because the US Democrat party wants to destroy the free market, capitalist economic and political system that the Western world has lived by for over two centuries. The evidence is clear, in the Build Back Better Act. This legislation deepens our dependence on China, for inreliable solar and wind energy components, while divesting tax dollars from reliable LNG resources, here in America. No, the Biden administration would rather enrich our enemies than help American businesses. I'm not sure that they have seen the national security implications of this "Green New Deal," but they should, now. Further, other departments of our own government have been telling anyone who wants to listen that we are closing too many fossil fuel plants, and that there is NO WAY that "wind and solar" can replace

The Bogus Charges Against Pres. Trump, Part IV

      One can say many critical things about former Pres. Trump, many of which may be true. However, there is one thing that also is true, but is not critical: He has been the most unjustly accused president of the modern era. It's a fact: The "Russian collusion" allegations, which were not true. The two "impeachments," that didn't follow the regular House rules so blatantly that they were dismissed by the Senate both times, and now, a Manhattan DA has indicted Trump on the most spurious of grounds.    It's about time that DA Alvin Bragg was thrown out of office. This "prosecutorial overreach" should just be the final straw, because he has enough reasons preceding this. Abusing "discretion" to cover a "blanket" ban on prosecuting any specific offense is an abuse of power. He doesn't get to order his ADA's how to use their discretion, on specific crimes. It's incredibly ironic that he now is trying to upgrade a mi

Why, Pres. Biden?

   One has to ask, over and over again, why does Pres. Biden do the things he does? He ran his successful campaign from his basement on a theme of "bringing back normal," and unifying the nation, as in working with his political opponents. Since his inauguration, he has done neither. In fact, he has done the opposite of those promises, unless anyone thinks that eight percent inflation is "normal," and calling Republicans "semi-fascists" is a unifying statement.    His disastrous abandonment of Afghanistan set the stage for Russia to invade Ukraine again, and for China to set its sights on Taiwan. Even the Mullahs in Iran won't give him the time of day, as he tries kissing their asses to restart the deeply flawed nuclear deal that Trump wisely withdrew us from. Back to Russia, after agreeing to a five year extension of the START treaty, now the Biden people say that Russia may be violating it. Again, the Trump administration advised a six month extensio

My Favorite Policy Opinions

This week, I'm sharing some of my favorite policy opinions/arguments: None of the economically crippling "green" policies that Western nations are implementing will reduce global warming by one degree, over the next century. This is a fact, not an opinion, because western nations' emissions have been declining, before the latests policy prescriptions. All of the future increases in greenhouse gasses will come from the "developing" world, and the way to mitigate those emissions is the opposite of what Western nations are proposing. Western "divestment" in global fossil fuels does two bad things: it drives up the prices of those fuels, and allows non-Western authoritarian nations to reap those higher profits from the undeveloped world, who can't afford unreliable wind and solar power.    Further, implementing the "green agenda" in Western nations is causing blackouts and energy shortages in every nation that is doing it. Prices are do

2023 Begins: You Can't Make This Stuff Up

    I was going to write Part II of "2022: The Year in Review," but it looks like 2023 is going to be tied into last year so much, I won't need to. Case in point: The whole Mar a Lago raid, and the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Pres. Trump's handling of classified documents, after leaving office. Now, we find out that the Justice Department was alerted to highly classified documents that were illegaly possessed by Pres. Biden, from his tenure as Vice President, on Nov. 2nd, days before the midterm elections. "Nothing to see here, it was nothing like what Trump did" seems to be the media narrative, but who's buying that?    Besides the suppressing of that info until the new year, we now learn that there were two other places that Biden had confidential documents illegally stored, neither of which was secure. In fact, his son, who was under federal investigation for foreign payments, lived at the location that some of those documents were

2022, the Year in Review

   2022 is just about over, so there are the inevitable compilations of what has happened in the last year. I'm still wondering about what was said at the end of last year. I've been reviewing the "Year in Review" articles from 2021, and very few of them say what a bad year it was. Most of them say things like "Biden is facing challenges," instead of his policies are total failures, which is common knowledge, now. I find this interesting, because it points toward  a bigger point. The leftist media has covered up for Biden's leftward policies for so long, they have no choice but to continue.     There have been some exceptions, notably on inflation. At the end of 2021, there were many people warning about it, myself included. Not to inflate my own importance, I can cite Larry Summers, who was Secretary of the Treasury under Pres. Obama. I only noticed that the chair set we bought at the beginning of the year was double the price by the end of 2021. It was

Brief Comments About Current Events

     Some brief comments about current events. There is so much going on, I can't just focus on one story, and I've been slacking off on my weekly posts. We'll look at the Southern border crisis, the coming investigation of Pres. Biden, GOP opposition to Ukraine war funding, and GOP support for the omnibus disaster. I'm a moderate Republican, conservative on many issues, and liberal on others. I try to keep that separate from my analysis of what's happening, but I appreciate your feedback about my columns.    First, and maybe easiest to analyze, is the real crisis of illegal immigration on the Southern border, which has been exported to localities around the nation. I've been following this issue for decades, and the numbers don't lie. What is happening now at the Southern border is beyond anything that has occurred in the past. The partisan line from the right is that the Biden administration wants to flood the nation with immigrants, and then make them cit
