Is Uvalde a call to action?

Watching Fox News @ Night last night, I heard Kevin Walling, a moderate-sounding Biden campaign surrogate, repeat that what's needed as a result of the Robb Elementary shooting is "action." He isn't the only Democrat repeating that chanting point. That's something that virtually every Democrat has said since the shooting happened.

It's a fresher-sounding way of another Democrat saying. During Clinton's time in office, Democrats would say "Surely, we must do something." That sounds right but what's the right action. Unfortunately for Democrats, finding solutions requires thinking and thorough fact-gathering. In Uvalde, we aren't close to finishing the fact-gathering.

What's most disgusting is that Democrats apparently want the issue, not the solution. Barack Obama posted a tweet intended to stir up turmoil rather than work towards a solution. In the tweet, Obama wrote "As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him."

If President Obama had wanted to prevent the mixing of 2 entirely different issues, he could've said something like 'Today marks the 2-year anniversary of George Floyd's violent. We grieve over his death but we celebrate his life.' Then 2 hours later, he could've tweeted something like 'While we grieve for the victims and their families, we celebrate the heroic actions of the BORTAC unit that ended the attack on these innocent children.'

Reminding people of Floyd's murder and calling them to come together wasn't Obama's objective. Like much of his presidency, his objective was to stoke division and cheapen tragedies with displays of partisanship. Obama and Biden aren't about healing our nation. They're about gaining political advantage whenever possible.

This isn't a time for action. It's a time for listening, healing and solutions. Actions alone aren't enough. Fixing the underlying problem is what's needed. Frankly, I don't think that government is capable of that.

Following right in the Obama-Biden footsteps is Robert Francis O'Rourke. With O'Rourke, like Obama and Biden, it's all about him:

Don't expect solutions from Obama, Biden and O'Rourke. Altogether too often, they're a partisan clown show. I'm not saying that Republicans are outstanding at this. I'm saying that the best Republicans (Jim Jordan, Larry Kudlow, Tom Cotton) are problem solvers who put nation first. Outside of Sen. Manchin, you won't find that in the Democrat Party.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
