Americans have just passed through the most eventful and tumultuous four weeks in memory. The only comparisons are 9/11, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Watergate/Vietnam days of the 1970s, the riots and assassinations in the 1960s and the Cuban Missile Crisis. First, we had Joe Biden’s face-plant debate performance on June…

They’re falling like dominos! I’m referring to the lawfare attack on Trump in the form of criminal and civil cases designed to bankrupt him, humiliate him and put him behind bars. The Democrats have nothing to offer the voters, so putting Trump on trial and trying to shut him up is all they have going. Here’s a…

As children, we probably all encountered at least one situation where someone was losing a board game (Risk was my favorite) and simply wiped the board clean with their arm throwing all the pieces onto the floor and stormed out of the room. That’s a clearcut example of immaturity, selfishness, and bad sportsmanship. Now, Joe…

We’re all grateful that Donald Trump survived the assassination attempt on July 13. Our prayers are with his family and the innocent participant who was killed by the shooter and the others badly wounded. The shooting may be over, but the investigation of what happened is just beginning. The conduct of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) both…

You’ve heard and read an enormous amount about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump by now, so there’s no need to repeat all of the obvious information. Still, new details are emerging daily and a lot of this information is quite dark and not at all obvious. The difficulty is that the government has lied to us…

The most widely discussed topic among Democrat insiders is neither the Republican convention nor the attempted assassination. It’s Biden’s collapse into senility and physical infirmity and the conflicting Democrat attempts to cover up the reality of Biden’s health that ultimately pushed him aside in favor of Kamala Harris. Let’s be blunt about Biden’s mental and…

With so much attention being paid to Biden’s mental and physical incapacity and the infighting among Democrats about whether Biden should stay or go and who would replace him if he quits the race, observers can be forgiven for losing sight of what’s going on in Republican circles. The Republican convention begins today and runs…

The war between Israel and Hamas has been going on in Gaza since the October 7, 2023, massacre of Jews by Hamas cowards in southern Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) moved first into Gaza City, which is the largest city in Gaza and adjacent to the Israeli border. Then they moved to Khan Yunis,…

With Biden’s mental incapacity now apparent (it has been for years, but the liberal media just recently stopped the pretense), it begs the question: Who’s really in charge at the White House? In terms of high-level policy, there’s little doubt that the Obama holdovers like Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Susan Rice (plus Obama himself)…

You probably don’t need to read more about Joe Biden’s problems these days. He’s clearly suffering from dementia in some form. I’m not a doctor, but like many, I’ve had to deal with the declining cognitive ability of others in certain situations, and I know it when I see it. He’s also a physical wreck…
