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."

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
