The pendulum swings.  Always. How far left or right will it go?  As divided as the country is it’s doubtful that it will stray very far.  But, it need not stray far to dramatically tip the balance of power. A few states could lead to a few seats in the House, Senate, or the one …

Tune in to almost any NFL game since the George Floyd riots and you’ll see the friendly reminders in the back of each endzone.  One end has “END RACISM” in all caps.  The other reminds “IT TAKES ALL OF US.” When you put them together you get “It takes all of us to end racism.”  …

A funny thing happened last night on the FOX News Channel.  After the Bret Baier interview with VP Kamala Harris aired the remainder of the nightly lineup took turns running excerpts of it and picking apart what Kamala said and didn’t say. It’s as if they captured the villain queen and walked her about the …

With the election just three weeks from today, united is not where we stand. The real-time debt clock shows the nation roaring to 36 trillion bucks in the proverbial hole. The 30-year mortgage interest rate sits at 7.25%. The nation’s indifference to illegal border crossings is causing harm from coast to coast to how we …

Four years ago Joe Biden said he was running for office because we were in a battle for the soul of our nation. Shortly after he took office he instructed his VP, Kamala Harris, as Border Czar to get to the root cause of the border “problem.” And four years later we have 15 million …

Tuesday night it was JD Vance squaring off against Tim Walz.  Did you watch the possible VPs debate? It’s debatable as to who won.

At multiple recent campaign stops Kamala Harris has appealed to the crowd, ” They have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation, in American history.  Imagine what that would look like and what that would be.” Predictably her supporters clap and wave signs.  If you’re tolerant of illegal immigration you’re probably against …

So, who won the debate? Stated differently, who accomplished what they set out to do.   And, was the performance good enough to sway the few voters still undecided in key battleground states? For Trump, the objective was to expose Harris for what she is, not the candidate “for change” she purports to be.  For Harris, …

Here are two simple questions, but they come with one qualifying request.  The request is to put politics aside to answer them. Question one: Do you believe freedom of speech is one of our most important rights? Question two: Do you prefer a smaller but more efficient government than we have today? Would anyone answer …

Two months away from the general election and one month after she became the presumptive nominee, Kamala Harris will sit down tomorrow afternoon for an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash. You won’t be able to see Harris’ first interview until primetime.  Why?  It will be prerecorded.  Why prerecorded?  It gives CNN the time to gussie …
