As the 2016 presidential sails into the sunset, one fact ought to concern Americans who rely on an independent press for information – a good many reporters were not independent at all. They worked hand-in-glove with the Clinton campaign against both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Consider the emails released by Wikileaks -- emails that would have remained secret, but now … [Read more...]
A Tale of Two Convention Cities
Now that the dust has settled from the two national parties’ conventions, it might be well to assess how they turned out. Since the Republican convention was held first in Cleveland, Ohio, the most outstanding “blip” was when the sitting governor, John Kasich, not only did not show up, but even refused to welcome the delegates to his state. The second faux pas was when the … [Read more...]
Nothing New in Politics
With the acrimonious outbursts by both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump this week, it seems the general election will be a long and ferocious contest between the two.

Most people have lost count of the constant number of reincarnations of the highly flawed Democratic presidential hopeful.

Hillary’s lips are moving
For decades now, a standard joke about lawyers (of which Hillary is one) has been “How do you tell when a lawyer is lying?” The answer is, “When you see their lips moving.” The latest example of this was when Hillary repeatedly stated that she had never sent nor received email classified information while secretary of state. She later amended that statement with the phrase that … [Read more...]
Clinton’s coronation crumbles
The supposedly inevitable Hillary Clinton coronation as the Democratic candidate for president is slowly crumbling away. As of last week the Clinton email scandal expanded widely as the person of interest herself was not able to stem the flood of new revelations and more pressing questions from the media. Clinton herself has seemingly developed a bunker mentality when it … [Read more...]
