Economist Thomas Sowell once said, “when people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment feels like discrimination.”  His comments were about affirmative action, but apply to Vlodomir Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian leader. The U.S. has supported Ukraine “bigly,” while having no direct security interest and being an ocean away, to the tune of $150 billion to…

The office of the president of the United States is the only nationally elected office and, as such, is cloaked in immense powers. Article 2 of the Constitution, “the vesting clause,” says power is vested in one person: the president. Any “risk to democracy” is not a president trying to right-size government. It is the…

This is not your father’s Republican Party. It has become more libertarian and practical in its approach. It is the hip bad boys, not the mindless, conformist, lemmings the Democrats have become. There is nothing edgy or smart about the Democrats being in favor of endless wars, Big Pharma, Big Agriculture, unionized education, a weaponized…

Trump has the woke mob so turned around with the reality he is imposing on our government that they don’t know what to do — or whom to call “racist” next. Just imagine when calling others “racist” doesn’t work anymore. The Dems are out of ideas. Pretty soon the remnants of the DEI mob will…

Nothing says “peaceful transition of power” like barbed wire, barricades, and troops standing by. With no threats indicated, that is what the feds are doing with your tax dollars.  The fourth anniversary of “January Sixth” falls on January 6 this year. Who can forget the Biden Inauguration in 2021? Chief Justice John Roberts took the…

It has been an epic year for us humor/opinion writers. At this point in the year, I give thanks for those buffoons, reprobates, scalawags, the demented and DEI disasters who made my job easier in 2024. For the last year, all I had to do was read the newspaper out loud on stage to get…

It is fun to watch the left go hyperbolic over Trump’s big presidential win. They bought into the echo chamber of lies fed to them by the mainstream media. I am not sure if they are mad at the leftist media for misleading them or at Trump. Either way, it is fun to watch.  Ratings…

Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania where he was almost killed weeks ago. And you thought Tom Cruise was cool because he does his own stunts. Fox News was about the only media outlet to cover the former president’s triumphant return. Maybe they should have built a grassy knoll, a book depository, or walked him…

The Democrats at their national convention boldly said that they laid out “A Vision for America.” And – I am not making this up – their opening speech was by Stevie Wonder.  Instead of issues, they kept pushing this “joy” thing. It was unquantifiable and a diversion from their record, but the press ran with…

On the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, Joe Biden was given the not-so-prime-time slot, 11:30 p.m. Monday night, for his speech. This was not the slot where one would put a president whom Pelosi and other Dems say deserves to be mounted on Mount Rushmore. Speaking of mounting things, Bill Clinton was scheduled…
