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.

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

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
