Send us Fan Mail The story of the Flint Water Crisis was not only overblown, but misrepresented. River water isn't bad.  There's nothing wrong with the pipes.  The river is not polluted or better than lake water. The only real failure in Flint was Democrat politics.  Two bankrupt cities in Detroit went to war.  A conflict of egos stoked by incompetence, led to contamination of drinking w...

Send us Fan Mail The Los Angeles wildfires are receiving non-stop news coverage.  And why not?  They are causing a record amount of damage.  Let’s look beyond the surface, look past the finger pointing, and let’s find real reasons this disaster took place.  Why it happened, and why it’s so bad. Sadly, the answer again is Democrat liberal and woke politics. From the mundane factors like building co...

Send us Fan Mail The errors and lies of the government and how they led to the deaths of fourteen people in New Orleans.  With politicians focused on their own careers and using hate and division to advance those careers, the inevitable result was the New Orleans vehicle ramming attack.  Equally inevitable is the stream of lies and misinformation coming forth in the aftermath. ISIS and Radicalizat...

Send us Fan Mail Jimmy Carter is remembered as a nice guy, but a weak man.  A one-term president who never showed strength, he’s one more example of the fad politics of the Democrat party.  Always choosing symbols over ability.  We can only hope the many houses he helped to build had a better plan and a better foundation than did his presidency. Jimmy Carter was the first in a modern line of south...

Send us Fan Mail At least eight different categories of people receive some or all of their healthcare free, at taxpayers expense. Politicians call our system broken, while they ask for even more free programs.  Others protest that free healthcare is too expensive. Critics of the US cite the systems in other countries as evidence that we should change. But many other countries, like France have –...

Send us Fan Mail In the aftermath of the shooting death of Brian Thompson, Large companies should be abandoning New York City as a convention destination. Not even in the top ten preferred US cities in some surveys, New York’s strict gun laws could not protect Brian Thompson from progressive ideas about security and law enforcement.  He would have been safer elsewhere.  New Yorkers would rather pr...

He won’t be home for Christmas, and only one out of ten social media comments are asking for justice.  Because he’s white, male, and successful, people ar...

Send us Fan Mail Eighty three years ago the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.  While at the same time negotiating for peace, the evil Japanese Government mounted a sneak attack, designed to kill as many Americans as possible, without a declaration of war. That attack was the beginning of the end of WWII,  and the war itself heralded a long period of peace, thanks to the United States.  The greatest...

Send us Fan Mail COP29 the annual world global warming meeting,  has just completed.  Better named “Climate Hoax 29”, with its completion the leaders of all the deadbeat nations of the world are lining up to speak their piece.   What do they have to say?  They are disappointed that the West won’t give them more than the three hundred billion dollars promised every year.  They claim they deserve it...

Send us Fan Mail Liberals are the eternal roadblock to common sense solutions.  They’ll waste millions allowing illegals to come here, breaking our laws, but when it comes to enforcing the laws they suddenly become penny-pinchers. As ridiculous as it is to claim we can’t deport the aliens because it’s too expensive, it’s equally easy to come up with scores of potential solutions to the problem of...

Send us Fan Mail What went wrong for Kamala in 2024?  Everything and nothing.  A zero-term senator, never-voted-for contender, yet installed by the Democrat machine, it's scary and astounding she got as far as she did. We'll look at all the entities responsible for elevating her, and failing her, in the 2024 election. Her constituents, her party, the oligarchy, and herself.  Plus some ci...

Send us Fan Mail A Chinese national, egged on by all the election pressure at the University of Michigan, voted illegally in out general election.  The clerk, the secretary of state and the fake news all say such events are rare, even though there is no way to know and nothing to prevent it other than personal honesty.  We wouldn’t know about this one had the student not confessed.  And his vote w...

Send us Fan Mail Tim Walz is accused of Stolen Valor.  He is not the first Democrat Vice Presidential Candidate to be guilty of the deed.  There are far worse occurrences in the past, most notably with President Lyndon Johnson.  Other presidents from both parties had military careers far more distinguished than Johnson, yet flaunted their achievements not at all.  But since Johnson and especially...

Send us Fan Mail Stolen Valor – It’s a serious accusation.  No one should make it just for political purposes.  Because it shows a character defect. Tim Walz’s utterings on the campaign trail catch him in the act.  In that now well-known video of his casual comments about being “in war” he actually tells several lies. They all add up to a sad conclusion of stolen valor and possible cowardice. Comm...
