Do Democrats Have a Future?
COMMON SENSE: Conservative pundits are telling us that Democrats, because of their repeated sophomoric antics, are certain to lose their base. I don’t believe this is true. Progressives are more committed to their worldview than that. We should realize this from our own example. I’m sure you will remember what happened a year ago. Because…
Read MoreZelenskyy Has Been Very Foolish
COMMON SENSE: When someone screws up as badly as Ukraine’s Zelenskyy did today, my father had an expression for it, one he used a thousand times. He would say, “Zelenskyy has sh*t in his own nest.” I have to agree. My dad would have been right. That’s precisely what Zelenskyy did. Reminiscent of an entitled…
Read MoreYes, Give the American Taxpayers a Refund
COMMON SENSE: Finally, we have a situation where there are only positive answers. In politics, this rarely happens. It appears that DOGE is going to be so successful at recovering waste and fraud in the federal government that the American people might be able to obtain a refund from it. Once the idea of a…
Read MoreDemocrats Will Continue to Defend the Indefensible
COMMON SENSE: That the Democrats are screaming bloody murder at every financial abuse discovered by the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) doesn’t make sense, or does it? Could there be an underlying reason why Democrats seem to be on the side of waste, fraud and abuse? If so, what could it be? I believe there…
Read MoreEnding the Ukrainian War Will Be “Dirty”
COMMON SENSE: I’m going to explain quite a bit, so please pay careful attention. Vladimir Putin, as well as being Russia’s dictator, is a very savvy politician. You can see it in the way he released Mark Fogel. Asking nothing in return, at least in the short run, Putin gave President Trump a huge media…
Read MoreEconomic Dominance Is Attainable
COMMON SENSE: There are two ways to make the USA more prosperous, by increasing our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and by paying down our debt. If we do both, our nation will be stronger than ever. With an additional $1.1 trillion in investments into the economy the first week of his administration, President Trump is…
Read MoreWhat about the Pardons—Trump’s and Biden’s?
COMMON SENSE: Because there is a good bit of confusion about both Trump’s and Biden’s pardons, I intend to address the issue. The position of the mainstream media is this: Biden should never have issued pardons to his family. That was wrong, but their position is that Trump has also been wrong. He should never…
Read MoreThere Will Forever Be an *
There Will Forever Be an * For baseball purist, Barry Bonds has an * next to his name. “Hammering Hank” is still the king! I remember that April night in 1974 when one baseball legend was surpassed by another. As a thirteen-year-old little leaguer I was caught up in the excitement of that moment. It…
Read MoreWe Have Done a Great Thing
COMMON SENSE: In late October, 2008, the Democrat nominee for President, Barack Obama, knowing that he was about to win, famously said that in one week the United States would “fundamentally change.” His statement wasn’t hyperbole. He meant every word he said, and he was correct. America did change. As the gathered crowd cheered their…
Read MoreTrump’s 2nd Term Foreign Policy
COMMON SENSE: For those of us who watched President-Elect Trump’s first press conference, it went well. For the media, however, it didn’t. Not having learned a thing since Trump’s drubbing of Kamala Harris, the Democrats, the Green New Deal and the Progressive agenda, they remain hostile, accusing him of being angry. Having paid close attention…
