The Flip Side of Lawfare
COMMON SENSE: Political analysts love to dissect the results of elections. That’s no secret. They tell us how women voted compared to men, how those who are educated voteed compared to the less educated, and numerous other categories. They bifurcate the electorate in numerous ways, but they routinely leave out one variable that I consider…
Read MoreThis Is Why Trump Demands Personal Loyalty
COMMON SENSE: Progressive political commentators, when discussing President-Elect Trump’s cabinet nominations, mention that personal loyalty is the overriding criteria for each selection. When they say this, it’s never in a complementary way. Instead, they consistently connect his behavior with the actions of a dictator. Linking Trump to Hitler, where personal loyalty to the Führer was…
Read MoreKamala’s Missing Voters
COMMON SENSE: At this point, nearly all of the Presidential votes have been tabulated. Trump received 72.5 million, while Kamala received 67.9 million. That’s an impressive victory for Trump, but his total is substantially less than the 74.2 million he received when he lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. In Joe’s victory, he…
Read MoreI Was Right about Everything
COMMON SENSE: Yesterday, my prediction was that Trump would win, and it wouldn’t even be close. I prognosticated, “Trump 312 Electors, Harris 227 Electors.” Right now, Trump has 277, which is enough to win the election, but there are still four states that haven’t been called. Trump leads in all four. If he wins them,…
Read MoreSo, Now We Are “Garbage”
COMMON SENSE: I’m not hurt, offended or even surprised that President Biden would refer to us as “garbage,” nor am I interested in an apology from him. Even if he gave one, I doubt it would be genuine. He spoke his mind. Referring to us as garbage is exactly what he thinks. That he does,…
Read More2024, a Repudiation of Obama
COMMON SENSE: In 2008, shortly before the Presidential Election, Barack Obama said that we were one week away from “fundamentally changing” the USA. He meant what he said. His goal was to transform the land of the free into a Progressive, Woke nation that would embrace Socialism. His purpose was to make Americans forever dependent…
Read MoreThe Electoral College Will Remain—Here’s Why
COMMON SENSE: Recently, Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ running mate, has called for the abolition of the Electoral College. Being outdated, he says that it is time for it to go. Many agree with him. Like him, they don’t understand its origin, its role or how difficult it would be to “get rid of it.”…
Read MoreTRUMP: A Man of Destiny
COMMON SENSE: Trump’s 2024 Presidential campaign reminds me of an old Rocky movie. In the movie, maybe it was the “Eye of the Tiger” one, Rocky starts out determined to win. Then, through various misfortunes, doubt enters his mind. Finally, Rocky renews his commitment to defeat Clubber Lang, and does. In my opinion, the same…
Read MoreKamala’s Border Wall Flip-Flop Provides an Opportunity
COMMON SENSE: Kamala Harris has just changed her position on supporting the Border Wall. Flip-flopping, she now supports its construction, but how is her change of heart being received? On the left, they must be snickering. Knowing that she really doesn’t mean what she says, they are giving each other hi-fives. They believe she has…
Read MoreTwin Defeats for the DNC
COMMON SENSE: Yesterday, there were two interesting ironies. One concerned RFK Jr., the second Donald Trump, but both involved the Democratic National Committee. When Bobby Kennedy decided to oppose President Biden in the primaries, eventually running as an independent, the DNC used lawfare and millions to keep Kennedy off of the November ballot. Biden’s team…
