After several postponements, Donald Trump finally faced sentencing for his conviction last year. trump-sentencing-january-2025 New York Judge Juan Merchan allowed media organizations to record the audio from inside the courtroom as he sentenced President-elect Donald Trump on Friday to an “unconditional discharge” in the hush money case in which he was found guilty by aContinue reading “The Great New York Show Trial”

Trump vs Biden Redux
The last time I addressed the election, I hoped we could avoid a re-run of 2020 : trump-vs-biden-say-it-aint-so. What can we expect now that primaries are basically over? First, it appears a sizeable number of Americans still wish for another alternative. Biden’s RCP job approval (average of fourteen polls) has slipped below 40% several times.Continue reading “Trump vs Biden Redux”
Corruption Alert: Journalist Arrested for January 6
Friday, a Blaze TV journalist, Steve Baker, was arrested for his part in the January 6 riots. A journalist was arrested for filming the event? Why was he arrested? There were many journalists on Capitol Hill that day (more than sixty per Baker, including several journalists who went through a broken window). https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/media/congressional-reporters-capitol-hill-riot/index.html New YorkContinue reading “Corruption Alert: Journalist Arrested for January 6”
What Does an Insurrection Look Like?
I predict we will hear much regarding insurrections this election year. Democrats have one example, one they repeatedly re-cycled, exaggerated and over-hyped. We cannot elect a guy who started an insurrection, after all, right? Well, maybe we can. There was indeed a riot January 6, 2021. However, no police officers or government officials died and none were seriously injured. TheContinue reading “What Does an Insurrection Look Like?”
Trump vs Biden in 2024? Say it Ain’t So.
The nation appears headed for a rematch I hoped we could avoid. Biden is already half dead and has projected feebleness on behalf of America the last three years. Trump did better during his four years, but Trump is not the person he was in 2016, has accumulated far too many enemies, has alienated far too manyContinue reading “Trump vs Biden in 2024? Say it Ain’t So.”
Of Climate Change, Trump, and the Nature of Debate
True debate leads to discovery and truth, but that debate has been re-defined, basically bastardized, by those who don’t understand its true nature (as nearly everything today has been bastardized). I focus on political debate today. If you want your guy to win the next election in this Alice-in-wonderland environment, please understand the new tactics.Continue reading “Of Climate Change, Trump, and the Nature of Debate”
No Corruption to See Here?
Voters recognize Joe Biden is too old, or more precisely too far past his prime for the job of president. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/34-percent-voters-believe-biden-make-end-second-term. Just 34% of registered voters in the United States think President Joe Biden would make it to the end of a second term if reelected in 2024, according to a new poll — including 65% of Democrats. Joe BidenContinue reading “No Corruption to See Here?”
COVID Panic Resurfaces, Something Related to the Election?
Folks are worried political leaders will impose more COVID restrictions in the coming year. Should we actually be worried about a COVID re-emergence? Do the numbers indicate a change in the trend? Are there new, exotic blends of COVID? Or is this another power play by sinister politicians? At this point, I see no evidenceContinue reading “COVID Panic Resurfaces, Something Related to the Election?”
Do Republicans Want to Win or Not?
Democrats know how to influence Republican politics to make a difference next November: promote Trump as a candidate in 2023 and then don’t let him compete in 2024. Many Republican voters don’t seem to understand they are following the Democrat script. Is this to be the motif for the 2024 campaign? Phony charges targeted atContinue reading “Do Republicans Want to Win or Not?”
Government Directed (Again) not to Censor
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states Congress can make no law to abridge (i.e. limit, censor) speech. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, andContinue reading “Government Directed (Again) not to Censor”
