The clock is ticking

January 29, 2019

The clock is ticking on that three-week temporary budget deal to reopen the government.
I haven’t read the entire indictment of Roger Stone prepared by the special counsel team, but Andrew C. McCarthy has, and he describes it as “20 pages of heavy-breathing narrative...” I think that gives us a good idea of what Robert Mueller’s final report will be like.

A Twitter Storm

January 28, 2019

Over the weekend, I had a brush with one of those Twitter storms so many people fear these days, and I had a reminder of why they don’t really matter at all.

Our border debate

January 27, 2019

Are you sometimes confused by what appears to be political games in Washington with Democrats and Republicans blaming the other side for the gridlock that prevents serious solutions to serious issues like health care, national security, and jobs getting addressed?

The Pledge of Allegiance

January 26, 2019

I’m sure you know the poem about the person who didn’t stand up for various groups as “they came for” them, until, when they came for him, there was no left to stand up for him.

NBC keeps digging

January 25, 2019

I recently quoted the old saying, “When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” Add NBC News to the list of media outlets that’s apparently never heard that one.

America’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, gets over half a billion dollars a year in our tax money from Washington.

Abortion is not progressive

January 24, 2019

Having made the word “liberal” truly toxic, today’s leftists have slapped a new label on their failed policies: “Progressive.”

Of what possible value is the House testimony of someone who is set to go to prison for three years after pleading guilty to bank fraud, illegal campaign contributions and...wait for it...lying to Congress, and who might be motivated to “compose” in further testimony to lessen his sentence?
“Highly unusual.” That was former FBI general counsel James Baker’s description of the “investigation” into Hillary Clinton’s private email server when he testified before the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees last October.

The Supreme Court decided not to consider an appeal by Joseph Kennedy, who was fired from his job as a high school football coach in Bremerton, Washington, for praying with students on the field after games.
This is a story that will get little coverage in America, but it’s one that every American should hear, so that when we’re told that we must engage with Iran’s government and respect their views, we understand exactly what we’re being asked to compromise and deal with.

Correcting the record

January 23, 2019

I’ve said that on the rare occasions when I make a factual error, I try to correct it ASAP.
A lot of things shut down for Martin Luther King Day, but some things must go on every day, like train service, radio broadcasts and the announcement of new Democratic Presidential candidates.

This coming week marks the 46th year since the Extreme Court made up out of thin air an excuse to give virtually unrestricted rights to ending the life of an unborn child in its mother’s womb in a savage procedure called abortion.
“We have a hater in the White House. The Birther-In-Chief. The Grand Wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. One of the things that we’ve learned is that while Jim Crow may be dead, he’s still got some nieces and nephews that are alive and well.”

"Daffy" politics

January 21, 2019

March for Life

Trump yanks Pelosi's trip

January 18, 2019

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might be laboring under the delusion that she is the equal to the President, but yesterday, he sent her a stunning (some – okay, me included – might say “hilarious”) reminder of who’s really the boss.
As impressive as Bill Barr was in many respects during his Tuesday confirmation testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee --- particularly his emphasis on equal justice for all --- he did seem to be very much a part of the old guard, and that alone tends to make little alarm bells go off.

AOC's honesty

January 13, 2019

There’s a growing debate in conservative circles over whether Republicans are devoting too much time and attention to refuting the factually-challenged but “morally right” proclamations of “Democratic” Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
