Trump should accept Pelosi’s disinvitation to speak before Congress

Constitution provides that from time-to-time the President of the United States is to provide Congress with his views as to the state of the union. The report is also to inform Congress on any legislative actions he would like them to consider. The Constitution does not say how that is to be accomplished. George Washington believed it should be in the form of a formal address to the Congress. That tradition was short-lived when America’s third President, Thomas Jefferson, decided that heading up to Capitol Hill was a waste of…

Alex Jones is Banned from Another Streaming Platform

Regardless of your personal feelings about Alex Jones, there’s no denying that the man is the probably the most censored public figure of our time. Jones has been banned from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Apple, and now as of a few days ago, Roku. In case you aren’t familiar with Roku, it’s a California-based tech company that provides video-streaming services to users, giving them access to many thousands of channels of third-party content. Roku’s technology is built into many different brands of Blu-ray players and smart TVs. Nearly 24 million people…

Barr Says He Will Allow Mueller Probe To Continue

In confirmation hearings that sometimes got a little heated, President Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, William Barr, has pretty much vowed he would not stand in the way of Bob Mueller completing his investigation. However, he also said that he “would not be bullied,” and that it would remain his decision whether or not to recuse himself from his oversight role in that investigation. He also did not make it 100% clear whether he would, or would not, hold back some of the information in the yet to be released…

Primetime Address “a Win” for Trump

Despite accusations of falsehoods from the opposition, former Republican Senator, Rick Santorum, called President Trump’s primetime speech from the Oval Office, a “win” for the president. Speaking on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” immediately after the speech, Santorum described the address as “a win for the president, and on several fronts.” While being met with scoffs by left-wing pundits on the same panel, Santorum spoke over their attempted interruptions explaining that he felt Trump deserved praise for showing “a softer side,” and for making “a more compassionate argument” for his wall…

Trump-hatred brings out the worst in the media.

Ahead of President Trump’s address to the nation on border security, the anti-Trump press were already analyzing and rebutting that THEY said he would say. Put simply, it would be old news and a pack of lies. The anti-Trump press went to great lengths to argue against his right and power to call for a national emergency – even though he had no intention of doing so and did not. These pre-emptive attacks based on baseless conjecture are what I have dubbed the PREsponse. For his part, Trump gave a…

Freshman Democrats seem to be channeling Bella Abzug. Bella who?

Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez may think she is something unique regarding a precocious, feisty left-wing New York congresswoman. Many may see Rashida Tlaib’s profane remark in conjunction with impeaching President trump as a breach of longstanding tradition. Ilhan Omar may see her campaign to end the House ban on wearing headgear (hijab) on the floor as a unique effort. But … they may only be channeling the all but forgotten Bella Abzug, who did all those things – and she was only one woman. Bella means “beautiful” or “gorgeous” in Italian. Those…

Comparing Bush to Trump

Normally, when a prominent member of a President’s own political party passes on, it usually has positive political implications. There is a pause in the partisan bickering. The media is filled with the person’s good works – which reflects well on their political party. It provides the President with an opportunity to be a consoler and unifier. This has not been the case with President Trump. This was clearly seen with the death of Senator John McCain. His funeral was unusual in that it was weaponized against Trump by the…

Germany Has Gone Mad

In a supreme case of historical irony, the far-left ideology formed in reaction to that of the Nazi party has caused chants such as “Jew, Jew, cowardly pig, come out and die alone” to return to the streets of Germany. With Stars of David burning in the public square, a standoff with Russia over Eastern European territory, a stranglehold on Greece, and an ever-expanding role in the Arab world, someone who had slept since the 1940s might conclude Germany was the victor of WW2. As the strongest economy within the…

America’s Future… a Pessimistic View

By nature, I am an optimist. I base it on a human history that has steadily improved in virtually every way. Yes, there are terrible events – natural and man-made – and there are temporary setbacks by regressive dark forces. But, for the most part, the record of human progress is positive and has resulted in a persistent upward line on the graph of human improvement. In 1776, the new United States of America kicked off the most dramatic democratization movement in the history of the world. By example and…

Chief Justice Roberts. Who you trying to kid?

In what has been widely described as a not-so-subtle rebuke of President Trump’s criticism of the federal courts in the Ninth Judicial District, Chief Justice John Roberts made his case for the independence of the American judicial system. He said: “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.” Really? Okay!…
