Lemiska: Reconstituting the Democrat Party – A Proposed Six-Point Plan

June 19, 2025 Peter Lemiska

It’s no secret that, at 27 percent approval rating, the Democrat Party is desperate to repair some of the damage it suffered during the Biden Administration. Many Democrats see the writing on the wall and are abandoning the party in droves. Even the former press secretary, who just a few months ago was staunchly defending … Read more

Lemiska: Another Democratic Brainstorm – Sidling up to Evil

May 21, 2025 Peter Lemiska

It’s no wonder that the approval ratings for the Democrat Party remain at record lows. Party leaders can’t seem to come up with an agenda that isn’t devious, deceptive, and self-serving. More often than not, their political strategies are just plain bizarre. Who can forget their “defund the police” fiasco? During the 2020 presidential election, … Read more

Champions of Justice or Criminal Accomplices?

March 8, 2025 Peter Lemiska

The Democrat Party has undergone some dramatic changes in recent years, changes that can best be described as bizarre, maybe even un-American. One of the earliest signs of trouble appeared in 2020, after George Floyd’s death at the hands of a police officer. Democrats went berserk, launching an all-out effort to defund police departments across … Read more

Kamala’s Guide to Succeeding in Politics Without Really Trying

October 30, 2024 Peter Lemiska

Most of us recognize leadership when we see it. Leaders inspire with enviable qualities like character, broad knowledge, commitment, fairness, and authenticity. But there’s another important attribute sometimes overlooked. President Eisenhower associated leadership with accountability. He defined leadership as “…taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes … Read more

Why the 2024 race is such a nail-biter.

September 9, 2024 Peter Lemiska

It looks like Americans are facing another nail-biting presidential race this year. Pollsters tell us that Trump and Harris are virtually neck-and-neck. This should not be a close election. Just a few weeks ago, President Joe Biden was the presumptive Democrat nominee, but it was clear that he couldn’t win reelection. Kamala Harris was even … Read more

Democrats Have Given Us An Unrecognizable America

August 16, 2024 Peter Lemiska

After more than 50 years, Joe Biden is finally leaving the political scene. It’s something both Republicans and Democrats wanted but for different reasons. Republicans have always seen him as a weak politician without convictions or scruples, compromised by foreign adversaries, and suffering from increasing mental confusion. Democrats certainly saw the same thing but managed … Read more

The President’s New Clothes (With Apologies to Hans Christian Andersen)

July 10, 2024 Peter Lemiska

There once lived a ruler of a far-off land. The people there called him their president, but he was old and addled and had come to believe that he was really their king. He was also corrupt, greedy, and selfish, caring very little about the people he ruled over. His decrees were becoming progressively bizarre and were driving his country into rack and ruin.

Patriots and Loyalists of the 21st Century

June 25, 2024 Peter Lemiska

With Independence Day almost here, proud Americans are gearing up to celebrate the birthday of the greatest nation in the world. There’ll be fireworks displays, parades, and family gatherings.

For Democrats, Justice is a One-Way Street

May 22, 2024 Peter Lemiska

Most people would agree that no free society can survive without a fair, unbiased justice system, one in which everyone is treated equally and no one is above the law. While so many governments around the world are rife with corruption and unequal justice, most Americans agree that, while imperfect, our judicial system has always been the best there is.

Last Chance to Save the Soul of the Nation

April 23, 2024 Peter Lemiska

The presidential campaign of 2008 marked a turning point in America.

Millions of voters were electrified by the prospect of the first African-American president. Even one of Barack Obama’s opposing candidates seemed mesmerized by the moment: “I mean, you’ve got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.

China Doesn’t Need a Trojan Horse – It Has Joe Biden.

March 19, 2024 Peter Lemiska

Most people are at least vaguely familiar with the story of the original Trojan Horse. According to legend, sometime around the 12^th or 13^th century BC, Greece and Troy were at war. The Greek army was unable to breach the defenses of the heavily fortified city of Troy, so it devised a plan.

Nigth Cap: Who Is the Real Tyrant?

January 29, 2024 Peter Lemiska

How many times have Democrats labeled Donald Trump a fascist and a tyrant? How often do they compare him to Stalin or Hitler? They’ve been doing it for so long that they don’t even think about it anymore. In fact, they never gave it much thought to begin with; their words were spawned out of pure hate.

Night Cap: Bidenomics – Better Than Abysmal is Still Miserable

January 17, 2024 Peter Lemiska

“Bidenomics is working!”

At least that’s what Joe Biden and his administration tell us every chance they get, citing cherry-picked statistics to prove their point. They tout the most recent inflation figure of 3.4 percent and compare it to last year, when the inflation rate was a crippling 6.5 percent.

Another Desperate Gambit by Democrats

January 3, 2024 Peter Lemiska

We like to think of judges as learned arbiters, thoroughly knowledgeable in the finer details of the law and, above all, eminently honest and fair – nonpartisan and unbiased. That’s especially true of Supreme Court justices.

The Poisonous Mix of Imported Hatred and Home-Grown Ignorance

December 6, 2023 Peter Lemiska

Most Americans are appalled – disgusted may be a better word – by the vile antisemitic demonstrations spreading across our country today. Ostensibly intended to show support for the besieged Palestinian people, they more closely resemble Germany’s ugly, antisemitic riots just prior to World War II. There is no effort to hide the utter hatred for Israel.

If You Don’t Believe the Border Is Secure, Would You Believe Republicans Caused the Chaos?

October 4, 2023 Peter Lemiska

Anyone old enough to remember the classic “Get Smart” TV series has to remember one particular gag often used by that bumbling secret agent, Maxwell Smart. Caught in another of his many precarious predicaments, he’d try to distract his adversaries by throwing out some incredible lie about his imminent rescue, closing the ruse by adding, “Would you believe it?”

The Real Threat to Our Democracy

September 28, 2023 Peter Lemiska

Democrat politicians endlessly warn us about the “threat to our democracy” posed by Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans. Of course, that claim is patently absurd on two fronts. First of all, as most Americans know, we live under a constitutional republic, not a democracy.

With Overwhelming Evidence and a Little Common Sense, You Don’t Need a Smoking Gun

August 18, 2023 Peter Lemiska

According to one recent survey, 53 percent of Americans now believe that Biden family members were paid by foreign nationals to influence policy decisions. That’s called bribery. It’s an impeachable offense under the Constitution, and if those respondents are right, if Joe Biden has been selling out our country for personal gain, it’s the biggest … Read more

Corrupting the Federal Government – One Department at a Time

July 20, 2023 Peter Lemiska

Joseph Robinette Biden is a corrupt politician. At least that’s what a recent survey suggests. A poll by Trafalgar Group indicates that more than half of American voters believe Biden and his family are guilty of influence peddling – receiving payments from foreign countries aimed at influencing national policy decisions. Less than one-third of voters … Read more

July 4th – A Day of Jubilation?

July 1, 2023 Peter Lemiska

The Fourth of July is nearly here, and patriotic Americans across the country will be celebrating our nation’s birthday with fireworks, parades, and family gatherings. Most are deeply proud of our country and sincerely grateful for the freedoms and the boundless opportunities that come with American citizenship. But some Americans see our country differently. They … Read more
