It wasn’t like Vice-President Harris’ strategy was hard to predict: vague promises instead of policies, including a boodle of money taken from others to pour over favored groups; multiple scare attacks on the abortion front; half-truths and outright lies. It was a risky strategy, because an opponent could use a recitation of fact to shoot …

Selected, Not Elected
Tell me true: how did Kamela Harris, a woman even our slackjawed, drooling leftist “media” was labelling worthless and a drag on the brilliant Joe Biden’s presidential re-up effort as late as this May end up the Democrat party’s presidential candidate? And where did Joe go? Remember “Selected, not elected?” Yes, the election of 2000, …
When Their Lips Are Moving
In the coming political hurricane, one must insist on things being called what they really are to gain understanding – not to mention to retain one’s sanity.. Here are a few examples. When Democrats wail about “threats to democracy,” it might be useful to recall which regime is busily working to jail its political opponents. …
Pay No Attention to that Man Behind the Podium
So…. The president neglects his constitutional duties for a week, choosing instead to be trained by the likes of Steven Spielberg for his debate with Donald Trump, and this is what we get? A doddering, tottering old man, stumbling over words and having brain freeze when asked for solutions to problems largely of his creation? …

Show Me the Man, I’ll Show You the Crime
So another of former president Trump’s show trials began Monday. In question is the “hush money” he purportedly paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. Let’s have a look at what we know. Nevertheless, Alvin Bragg has Donald Trump in court – and off the campaign trail, which was really the whole purpose. And, despite the …
Old Yeller States the Union

It was a sterling performance: squinty eyes, scowl, jerky mannerisms and the best hey-you-kids-get-off-my-lawn angry old man voice in which to blame Republicans for every problem created by his administration. Which he did, and facts be damned. It’s now clear why he was so late …
Biden’s Border Lies
Guided Democracy for Dummies (that’s you…)
A few closing thoughts for the last day of a year I am happy to put in the rear view mirror, with the fervent prayer that the rot we saw in 2023 does not produce worse in 2024. Because that seems to be the direction we are headed: worse. A perfect example is all those …

Strength through lies; survival by injustice
“What sort of government is it, that finds its strength and its justification before its own people in falsehoods? What is the destiny of a society that maintains and restores itself with injustice?” -Milovan Djilas, “The Unperfect Society” Lest readers start waving their arms and crying “Me! I can answer that! Over here!”, one …
