Joe Biden is scheduled to issue his new mask-wearing guidelines for Americans this week. Can’t wait. Something else to chuckle over and ignore seeping out of this White House. Here’s my guideline for you, Joe, on wearing masks: Stop it! When you’re on a Zoom call in front of an international audience and their unmasked leaders, lose your mask, Joe. You’re vaccinated and talking to a screen. That’s not

Former Senator and Jimmy Carter’s Vice President Walter Mondale died Monday of undisclosed causes. But the 93-year-old Minnesotan knew the end was near. He made [Snip] A small-town Midwestern native, a minister’s son and student of Hubert Humphrey, Mondale was a decent, interesting man, one of those political dinosaurs, now long extinct, who could remain friends with opponents who were not progressives like himself. Opponents, in turn, returned the favor. In those days before cable TV, senators of both parties shared a strange belief that compromise could produce half a loaf for each side. They

The United States’ Founding Fathers were far wiser than their limited years. Thomas Jefferson was only 33 when he quilled the Declaration of Independence. Alexander Hamilton and Nathan Hale were but 21, John Marshall 20. Even founding flag-maker Betsy Ross was only 24. Too young to hold elective office in the nation they were designing [Snip] At this moment as a puzzled and polarized nation, we’re witnessing both parties coincidentally struggling to inhabit their new skins. It’s a

Some Americans may have become accustomed to stupid photo-ops by politicians who seek a media image to match their message of the day. Shake your head at the Swamp’s idiocy and move on.
But Wednesday Joe Biden took this practice to a stunning new, well, depth.
To demonstrate something about his Afghan troop withdrawal announcement Biden’s handlers took him to one of the nation’s most-sacred places, Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place for some 400,000 fallen soldiers, veterans and spouses. May they Rest in Peace Forever. [Snip] But then.Biden aides took him to Arlington’s Section 60

Democrats have a long record of appeasing bad guys in hopes, they say, of making things better. That rarely works anywhere. But no one ever accused America’s Democrats of giving up a bad idea because it failed. Do it some more and maybe things will improve. [Snip] Now, we have yet another example of this cockamamie thinking from the Obama 3.0 administration of Joe Biden. He’s decided – or at least the real decision-makers pulling his strings want

One of the most striking – and depressing – realities of our nation’s capital these days is the importance of image and the irrelevance of substance and truth. [Snip] Only about 10 percent of that “Covid relief” was actual Covid relief. The rest was financial takeout for more Democratic constituencies. Now, comes Joe Biden’s so-called “infrastructure bill.” Ask someone in your family right now what infrastructure means to them. I’ll wait. Chances are

It looks like a growing number of Americans have now had enough of these officious official edicts about masks and avoiding other people.
[Snip] After more than a year of lockdowns, stuffy masks, fogged eyeglasses, false promises of progress, chapped hands, pretend school classes, missed family events, lost jobs and shattered dreams, Americans appear to have decided to move ahead with their lives. To shuck the strictures. And ignore the DC crowd that’s gotten a little too comfortable wielding authoritarian control over the routines of more than

If you believe that religious faith and beliefs have been a vital part of the United States’ national character, strength, and unity since the Pilgrims’ arrival 401 long years ago, then a new Gallup Poll released this Holy Week will profoundly disturb you. For the first time in 80 years of polling, Gallup’s research found that a majority of Americans do not belong to any religious institution — church, synagogue, or mosque. That doesn’t

Robert Gates served as Secretary of Defense for presidents of both parties. He reports that as a vice president and a senator, Joe Biden was wrong on just about every single major foreign policy issue in the last four decades. Last week Joe Biden, now president, opined that the May 1 deadline to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan would be “hard to meet.” [Snip] Such president-speak actually means “I’m not going to do it.” This prompted heavy sighs from those of us who endured the long, bloody, divisive years of the Vietnam War under – oh, look! — another Democratic

The fading Sunday morning talk shows have been a favored forum for Dr. Anthony Fauci to steer national behavior on masks and travel, and families getting together. The usual prescriptions from him that have grown pretty tired to many of us. Sure enough, there he was again Sunday on “Face the Nation,” urging continued mask vigilance and ongoing travel cautions because, you never know, there could be more health devastation ahead. Fauci has been

Something is very wrong with Joe Biden—mentally, medically, strategically—or all three. [Snip] Much media attention last week on Biden’s exclusive network interview with a handpicked former Bill Clinton aide. It was taped Wednesday but not broadcast until Thursday. What you likely missed in the avalanche of adulation was an ominous tiny italic note on ABC’s transcript—“Edited for Clarity.”

You may not see much news coverage on the world’s 100,000 airplane flights that land safely every day. Let one of them crash, however, and you’ll see smoldering wreckage and sobbing relatives for 24 hours. It’s the same in news coverage of U.S. politics. Now for the first time in memory a research team has examined thousands of news interview transcripts and documented what might seem an obvious but very important conclusion: Extreme views and words by far get the most attention, air time and views online.People who speak
