Happy Blogiversary to me, Twentieth Anniversary edition

 Twenty years ago this morning, I wrote my first post. It was about then-AG John Ashcroft. Shortly thereafter, I started writing about the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. It isn't surprising that Putin tried installing a puppet president. This puppet president then would have Putin's bidding.

It's amazing that Ukraine is still making news 20 years later. This time, though, Joe Biden is pushing Ukraine into the news by giving permission to President Zelenskiy to use long range missiles well inside Russia.

Had Biden acted with haste back in 2022, this war likely would've been over before 2023 finished. If there's anything that I've learned through blogging, it's that leadership matters.

Because I haven't been afraid to speak truth to power, I've gotten hacked out of existence twice. The first time, I was able to recover from. The other time, I wasn't so lucky. That's how this blog got created. If there's anything that I want people to learn from my writings, it's the importance of liberty and prosperity.

They're the cornerstones of this great American experiment, in my opinion. Though the original LFR got hacked out of existence, the contents of that blog were recovered by a great friend of mine. The library of those posts is found here. I wanted it restored so that it forms a library of sorts for remembering the great stories of the past 20 years. Thanks to all my readers. I pray that I can continue providing insight into the day's current events.

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...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...
