Two Vices
Politicians see a block of voters and think, Let’s give them something and they’ll vote for us. We just saw one example: African-Americans made up half the voters in South Carolina’s Democratic Primary and a third of the voters in North Carolina’s primary and before the first vote was cast Joe Biden announced he’d give…
Read MoreEnough for One Day
The first news story I read (on the internet) showed Trump tweeting out a video of a bearded Hell’s Angel-type riding a motorcycle cussing out an older man driving an SUV beside him, using the f-word seven times. The next story was the Washington Post jumping all over Trump but not for the f-word –…
Read MoreRolling Downhill
The first minister, speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, looked across the room full of Washington politicians who’d been eye-gouging one another since the day Trump took office and made a suggestion: Why not try a bit of “love your enemies.” President Trump stood up next and spoke. I don’t know that I agree with…
Read MoreAnother Associated Press Fact Check
I’d like to see President Trump take the Associated Press head on. In another ‘Fact Check’ the AP said President Trump lied three times at the Davos Forum in Switzerland. At a press conference, Trump said he’d ‘saved HBCU’s’ (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). The AP called that ‘a big stretch.’ It said HBCU’s were…
Read MoreImpeachment Polls
Without a murmur of doubt a Republican pollster sitting on the dais at a forum announced, Impeachment is bringing Independent voters into Trump’s camp – and the Democratic pollster sitting beside him shot-back, Just look at the numbers. Trump’s toast. Thinking ‘neither can see the forest through the trees’ I went to Real Clear Politics…
Read MoreA Michigan Focus Group
Chuck Todd’s anti-Trump to the bone but now and then surprises happen and one happened on Meet the Press when Todd played a video of a focus group of Republican voters sitting around a table in Grand Rapids, Michigan;–––the moderator started by asking, ‘Do you think impeachment is too complicated to follow? and a white-haired…
Read MoreDid Rudy Play Donald?
The way Adam Schiff tells it Trump wanted dirt on Joe Biden so he told the Ukrainian President to ‘Work with Rudy.’ Trump blasts back that Schiff’s full of hot air – it’s all baloney. But up in Manhattan a United States Attorney, who indicted two of Giuliani’s associates from the Ukraine, unearthed a different…
Read MoreBlind Passion and 3%
Tony grew up in the suburbs, attended college in Boston, graduate school in New York, was proud to be for Obama in 2008, for Bernie in 2016, and now he’s an all for impeachment Democrat. To Tony one thing matters: Trump must go. Sam lives in the rural small town he grew up in, married…
Read MoreThe War on Public Schools
Teachers came to Raleigh Wednesday to teach politicians about the public schools. But what did the teachers learn about the politicians? They need to learn this: A lot of the politicians hate public schools. They won’t admit it, especially around Election Day. But look at what they do. And who they listen to. They don’t…
Read MoreVictories for the Swamp
State Treasurer Dale Folwell got whacked by the Swamp. It turns out the State Employees Health Insurance Fund has been spending $3 billion a year, costs have been going up 7-9% a year, and the fund is billions of dollars in debt – so Folwell decided to cut spending by the state paying hospitals the…
