Ben Shapiro's Trump fundraiser

I was more than a little surprised to read Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire article stating that he's hosting a fundraiser for Donald Trump this week. The first question I asked was simple: why'd he do that? It didn't take much reading to get Mr. Shapiro's reply. Shapiro replied "Donald Trump's opponent is Joe Biden. And Joe Biden is the worst president of my lifetime."

I sat there staring at that last sentence. I'll admit that I couldn't move past it for awhile. Biden is the worst president of my lifetime, too, and I've lived longer than Mr. Shapiro. (He's 40. I'm 68.) That means he's endured 1 fewer bad president than I have. He was born in 1984, the year of President Reagan's landslide victory, which means he missed the fun times of the Carter administration. He missed out on the creation of the Department of Education and the term misery index. But I digress.

Then Mr. Shapiro wrote "My calculus is simple: America was better off under Donald Trump than it is in under Joe Biden. At home, America was safer and more prosperous. When Donald Trump was president, we did not have an open border. We were not flooding our country with at least 7 million illegal immigrants, overwhelming our cities, leaving our country wide open to the plague of Chinese- and Mexican drug cartel-backed fentanyl poisoning."

In other words, the U.S. was pretty much better off in every measurable way and in many intangible ways. Bidenworld is chaotic on a daily basis. We jump from crisis to crisis. Trumpworld meant we jumped from one mean tweet to another. Mind you, most of those mean tweets happened in the middle of the night.

Whatever you thought of Trump, we didn't see things like this during his time in office:

Trump has a drama-filled personality but life itself was quiet. People got ahead with Trump's policies, too. These days, Biden talks about his loyalty to unions while he sells high-paying union jobs to China and Mexico:

Finally, we didn't have to worry about Trump looking confused getting off the stage. With Biden, we get this or something like it once-a-week:

Biden is definitely one-of-a-kind, just not in a positive way.

    I always have two "excuses" for Trump. The first is that he is a problem-solver, the natural outgrowth of a man his age who has accomplished much and is now determined to "give back" with his particular skillset. The second is that the "mean tweets" and general pugnacity stem from the outrageous nature of the opposition to his common-sense solutions. The Left is crazy and do not tolerate being told so. You have to "raise your voice a bit" to be heard above their bleating and he did that. As I call it, "offending all the right people."

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

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
