I have always had a problem with media celebrities who elevate themselves above the event they are covering. This unfortunate occurrence can happen whether it’s a news or a sporting event. The usual solution is the handy mute button, which works if you can still see the event, but it does not provide the remedy … Read more
There are no redeeming qualities to Representative Al Green (D-TX). He is a disrespectful and rude individual who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and whose sole purpose in Congress is to file impeachment papers on Donald Trump. Green just filed his seventh attempt at removing Trump from the White House. Like the previous six, he … Read more
As a football fan, the Army-Navy game does not always live up to its hype. The teams are not usually outstanding, as, let’s face it, football is not why these athletes are here. This yearly event is a ritual in which the athletes representing two of our service academies get together to play for bragging … Read more
Maybe it is old-school thinking that people who run for office at any level, but especially the President, should be from the best and brightest of Americans. They should be someone we can look to, and who can unite and guide us toward a better America. That is not a slur on the present America, … Read more
Kamala Harris is not ready to be written off, but that assumes she was ever on. Kamala was not. It is very sad to watch her desperately try to stay in the spotlight. It is amazing that the two women whom Donald Trump defeated to become President cannot accept the loss and move on. They … Read more
I am not going to go back too far in time, only to 2020 and the Summer of Love. In the last five years, the Democrats have given us enough to show that they are more concerned and bigger fans of people who commit crimes against Americans than they are of the actual victims of … Read more
The public school system in America has been on a mission for decades. I used the timeframe of 50 years in today’s article title because it coincides with the Department of Education’s founding. Jimmy Carter already locked up the worst presidency in history, until Joe Biden moved into the White House, so adding the Department … Read more
The numbers from Minnesota are staggering, but with the same people doing the reporting on the magnitude of the Somali fraud cases, as the ones duped by the Somali cartel, can you trust their findings? The latest estimates are in the billions of dollars of Minnesota resident tax dollars that were stolen from various government … Read more
This latest action by Representative Sandy Cortez (D-NY) is rich in so many ways and can be scrutinized in as many ways. She was responding to the President’s comments about the recent video by a small group of Democratic members of Congress and former military or intelligence personnel, which warned enlisted members of the military … Read more
Did anyone really think that bringing a tribal culture to a strange land, mixed with government incompetence and a blind eye, would have a favorable ending? Our government may have the best of intentions, but it rarely thinks things through, and God forbid it looks at past results. We have a history of intervening in … Read more
We need to keep our eye on the ball and not be distracted by the number of Socialists elected to office in this most current election. While we are debating whether Zohran Mamdani is now the Mayor of New York City or whether Katie Wilson managed to win the mayoral race in Seattle, we have … Read more
We love Maine and have a year-round home in Central Maine that we spend half our time in. We have an incredible circle of friends and have found a church that has become a big part of our lives. Maine is blessed with location and natural resources: a beautiful rocky coast, majestic mountains for hiking … Read more
Well, I never envisioned when I started to chronicle my journey to remission that I would be pushing 50 chapters. I was hoping for the six-part mini-series, and not months of Law and Order. As I have said many times, this challenge is out of my hands, and either God is unhappy with me, or … Read more
I have written many articles about Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) since he ran for office in 2022. I was very critical of the people of Pennsylvania electing Fetterman to the Senate over Dr. Oz, who seemed the superior candidate. Fetterman came across as an eccentric individual who did not speak well, refused to dress the … Read more
Veterans’ Day has been a day of conflict for me for many years. My Dad, and undoubtedly many of his friends and cousins, walked into a recruitment office and volunteered to serve their country to go to Europe or the South Pacific to fight the Germans or Japanese, who posed a threat to the free … Read more
First, Nancy Pelosi realized that she was done years ago, but it just dawned on her that she should take her ill-gotten gains and retire before she is investigated. Nancy will not be seeking reelection in 2026. Then, in a beautiful game of 3D chess, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries thought they had the Republicans … Read more
Cory Booker (D-NJ) might be the only Democrat disappointed in the death of the Senate filibuster. Only the dramatic showman, like Booker, who loved the marathon speaking sessions he employed under the current filibuster rules. He rightly may be a party of one, as you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the Senate … Read more
Americans are used to a fast pace. We are basically an impatient breed and expect instantaneous results from a plan, or think the effort is a failure. Look at inflation as an example. It took Biden a couple of years to drive the overall cost of living to historic highs, yet Trump was deemed a … Read more
Tuesday could be the first day of the decline of New York City, and it will be at the hands of the voters of New York. New York City, and Minneapolis, too, are about to elect Socialist mayors. Both candidates are running under the party banner with a cryptic name, such as the Democratic Socialists … Read more
Everyone except the Democrats is frustrated by the Senate impasse that is keeping our government shut down. This situation is not one where negotiation will lead to a resolution. This is a situation where the Democrats are holding pay and benefits from the American people in the hopes that the pain will force the Republicans … Read more
