Will the Border Work For Dems?

Americans want something done at the southern border. Democrats, to the outrage of their hard-left wing, are serious about doing something meaningful as are some Senate Republicans. But the Trumpy Party as a whole would rather exploit the issue than deal with it. Will voters notice? This week we got a clear picture — asContinue reading “Will the Border Work For Dems?”

The Q&Q For 2/9/24

This week’s quote comes to us from Rep. Mike Gallagher, one of only three Republicans to defy his party and vote against the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In a piece in the Wall Street Journal, Gallagher wrote: “I disagree with my Republican colleagues who voted on Tuesday to impeach Mr. Mayorkas. ImpeachmentContinue reading “The Q&Q For 2/9/24”

Watch for Phillips in New Hampshire

Americans don’t want to see a Biden-Trump rematch this next year. Both men are overwhelmingly unpopular. And yet it seems our system can’t help itself.

It was clear to anybody who was not delusional that Joe Biden was the next President. But the Democrats had barely hung on to their HouseContinue reading “Just Let Joe & Joe Do It”

Biden’s Burden

Chaos has engulfed Kabul. The nation’s government has fled while U.S. and other embassies burn documents and hurry to the airport. Those Afghans who fear for their lives under Taliban rule are literally waiting at the gates, desperately trying to get out. It’s Saigon all over again. I like and respect Joe Biden. He’s doingContinue reading “Biden’s Burden”

Make It Permanent

If Pres. Joe Biden and the Democrats accomplish nothing else, they should be proud of this: they cut child poverty in half. Temporarily. They need to cement their accomplishment by making the expanded child tax credit program permanent. According to a story in this morning’s Wisconsin State Journal, payments should start showing up in people’sContinue reading “Make It Permanent”
