The rioting in Minneapolis is not going to end well. As each night, and day for that matter, passes by, the crowds get larger, and you can feel the hostility growing. At a time of crisis and intense hatred, we need leaders to step forward and de-escalate the situation. Instead, we get Governor Tim Walz, … Read more
For the second time in the last couple of weeks, hell has frozen over. I watch the political scene very closely, sometimes to my own demise. The politics of our nation have been turned upside down, and are taking America and Americans with it. I wrote a short time ago about the bizarre situation in … Read more
Affordability is the new buzzword across the country, and many claim that it may be the defining issue in the 2026 midterm and 2028 general elections. Not since the Democrats could not define a woman has a simple word caused so much angst, primarily because many people cannot define the term, which I guess makes … Read more
President Donald Trump and his administration are playing chess while the Liberals are trying to understand Chinese checkers. Trump Derangement Syndrome forces those afflicted to automatically criticize every Trump decision, even if it is obvious that Trump’s call was for the good of all Americans. According to the Left, every one of his cabinet appointments … Read more
My compassionate side says we are piling on Tim Walz, and we should back off and give him some space to do his job. Then the reality side of me says, hell no. Tim Walz is everything that is wrong with American politics, and borrowing his words, we should ride him right out of office … Read more
We saw the worst of Minneapolis during the George Floyd riots and the destruction of the downtown area in the Summer of 2020, the so-called Summer of Love. Take equal parts of an oppressed minority (that was the Black community in 2020), add extreme government ineptitude, stir in the rhetoric of a failed Governor, and … Read more
Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota addressed the people of Minnesota and the country when he held a press conference in Minneapolis the day after a woman lost her life while protesting ICE agents on the ground in Minnesota. Reports show that this woman harassed ICE agents throughout the day. When those agents attempted to arrest … Read more
Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) is one of the ranking members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. She appeared on FOX News this morning and showed a sad lack of logic in her assessment of the apprehension of Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Lawrence Jones pointed out Shaheen’s record on human rights and the impact of … Read more
Never in my lifetime did I ever think that Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and I would be on the same ideological side of any issue. When I saw headlines over the weekend that Schultz was praising the Trump action to remove and arrest Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela and relieve the people of Venezuela of decades … Read more
I am not sure whether the oath taken at the stroke of midnight, whether it was done underground, or whether a Quran was used instead of a traditional Bible, is the most symbolic of the devastating era dawning on New York City. New York City woke on Friday under the Socialist control of Zohar Mamdani, … Read more
If Donald Trump identifies them as detrimental to America, you can almost guarantee that the Left will be out in force supporting them. Rapists, child molesters, murderers who violate our border are entitled to due process when they should be quickly deported. Somali thieves who scammed Americans out of billions of dollars to fund lavish … Read more
I see this as a very critical time in our country’s future. We are hearing about these situations involving Chinese or Islamic immigrants, both legal and illegal, and we cannot dismiss them as individual events. There is a connection here that we must identify and have the courage to stand up to these invaders before … Read more
I realize I devoted my most recent article to the Islamic invasion of America. Still, I absorbed a plethora of information over the weekend about the depth of the fraud and corruption in Minnesota, and now in Maine, that I feel we cannot cover this situation enough. A friend of ours is from Edina, which is a … Read more
Growing up in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in the 50’s and 60’s was a very early education in the impact of various nationalities and religions on a community. There were no walls or boundaries, but each nationality had its own unique section of the city with ethnic grocery stores and churches named after its patron saints. I, … Read more
A reader chimed in after one of my recent articles. I said, chiming in to be kind. He really dropped the hammer on me for being too vague in my criticism of the Democratic Party. He condemned me for lacking specifics and called me a hack. Well, I looked past my archive of over 1,800 … Read more
I mentioned in my last article that the governors of three of the country’s poorest-performing states aspire to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2028. California, Illinois, and Minnesota are all in a death spiral, entirely attributable to mismanagement at the top. And, by the top, I do not mean Donald Trump, even though … Read more
The fraud crisis in Minnesota is getting worse, and the plot thickens by the day. The latest evaluation puts the potential lost dollars at $9 billion. That is not just Minnesota funds lost in the wind, as some of these programs targeted were federal, like Medicaid, and therefore, it was all our money; we all … Read more
There are two problems I see when I get frustrated over the lack of outrage about the billions of dollars stolen from social safety-net programs in Minnesota and probably beyond. One is that I don’t think fraud generates enough angst toward those who took something by deceptive practices, and the other is the unified effort … Read more
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
