I just can't get Paul Ryan's words out of my mind. Not his stirring and inspirational speech to the 2012 Republican Convention where he laid out his claim as the Gen X conservative leader we've been waiting for. Yes, it was inspirational to have someone of my generation rise to a national ticket and finally transcend the disastrous Boomers who'd been leading our country down a miserable path.That Paul Ryan was motivating. And he finally spoke for the issues that mattered to me, and he promised to represent those values on a national stage while fighting for the principles that we of the "Reagan Youth"

Good military advice is to choose your battles. However, once in battle you can't ignore your flanks or the other attack from the rear or you will end up like the 7th Calvary did, everybody dead.

Very good take down of the republican elite. Just one thing Mr. O'Conner got a little sideways . Some of us "boomers" were not caught flat footed. Our admonitions and warnings were ignored . We were ,are called conspirators and old fogies. We had to get with it or be left in the dust of progress. A lot of us boomers had learned the lesson of the slippery slope. A lot of us boomers sadly have been proven right. As Mr. O'Conner rightly points to without a culture worth fighting for all the other crap is .........crap.

Paul Ryan, elected on the strength of support from Wisconsin prolife organizations, now let’s us know social issues don’t matter. So shut up you bitter clingers. This guy once quoted Hayek and Jack Kemp. What an intellectual fraud, whose only motivation is to wait out those old dirty rural limited government living rubes who vote for Trump. Paul Ryan is as close to the Oval Office as he will ever get. Find me people like Trump who like the bands and the floats and Fourth of July parades as America, not as photo ops with voters. Find me people in or out of office who aren’t owned and don’t enjoy the donor class and the rarified air they breath.

I guess Mr. O'Connor is too young to know that Pat Buchanan gave a speech at the 1992 GOP National Convention about how Conservatives had lost the Culture War. The Nixon - Ford - Bush Republicans were horrified that he would even talk about those issues. Well, the more things change the more they remain the same. Pat made an excellent point but the war continued because the leftists were not finished. As pointed out by others here the Boomers like myself continued the fight. Perseverance pays off. Parents are now more involved in the fight and we have the Dobbs decision after 50 years of Roe. Keep looking up.

CNN — Gov. Ron DeSantis has toured the country calling Florida the place “where woke goes to die.” But it’s still alive at the company Sara Margulis runs. At Honeyfund, a website for engaged couples to create gift registries that can pay for their honeymoons, Margulis’ Florida employees learn about privilege and institutional racism. Margulis, the CEO and co-founder, said the training makes her staff better suited to serve couples of any background. Planning for this fall’s employee retreat is underway, with a session scheduled on DEI – or diversity, equity and inclusion, a term DeSantis often rails against. DeSantis tried to ban such employee training in 2022,

WASHINGTON — Chris Christie knew what he was going to ruffle some feathers, but he did it anyway. “I am running because [Trump] let us down,” the former New Jersey governor said during Friday remarks at the annual Faith and Freedom Coalition conference. “He’s let us down because he is unwilling to take responsibility for any of the mistakes that were made, any of the faults that he has, and any of the things that he has done.” As it became clear the 2024 presidential aspirant was about to criticize Trump, boos and jeers filled the air in the large convention space.

“Now is the time to say . . . ‘God is queer.’” Who spoke these blasphemous words, and what was the context of the statement? The words were spoken by Quinton Caesar, a Lutheran pastor in Germany, at the conclusion of the annual gathering of the nation’s Protestant (meaning Lutheran) pastors. The conference theme was “Now it the time,” and this was the immediate context of Casear’s words (who himself is black, originally from South Africa): “Now is the time to say: ‘Black lives always matter.’ Now is the time to say: ‘God is queer.’Now is the time to say: ‘We leave no one to die.’

Operation Frankton is virtually unknown in the US, though a well-regarded British movie based on it was released in 1955. It was a daring raid that began on the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This, however, was a 100% British operation. The team was selected from among the members of a special detachment of the Royal Marines. Just as the OSS in WWII was the precursor of both the CIA and US Army Special Forces (“de oppresso liber”) these Royal Marines were one of the predecessor units of the UK’s Special Boat Service (SBS,) now more comparable to US Navy SEALs.

This is the beginning of the end of Russia’s war in Ukraine — and likely also of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rule. First, here is what we know about the odd events of the past two days. After almost a year of Wagner Group owner Prigozhin’s near-constant and escalating verbal attacks against Russia’s Ministry of Defense, he commanded his mercenaries to march into Russia. The “Wagnerites” took over two major Russian cities, Rostov and Voronezh, and appeared intent on continuing to Moscow, where Prigozhin wanted to settle accounts with Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov, respectively Russia’s defense minister and chief of the general staff,

The Atlanta City Council recently approved funding for the city’s new police training facility. This is a win for the city, communities across the metro Atlanta area, and our law enforcement officers and first responders. Unfortunately, a small but vocal band of radicals — namely the Defend the Atlanta Forest group — have hijacked the narrative. They oppose the facility, hate the police, and have repeatedly used destruction to make their point. And when state law enforcement arrested individuals who allegedly helped fund the violence, both Georgia's senators and the Biden administration put political allies before the rule of law.

This morning, the internet informed me that the United States was not among one of the 20 best countries for women. As an American woman, I was naturally curious about why my country was not ranked higher. What organization made this determination, and what were the criteria? I learned that the decree had been issued by the World Economic Forum, an international lobbying organization founded in 1971 and based in Switzerland. According to their website, “The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.”

In recent years, reading, math, science, and other scores have been plummeting in America. Schools are not teaching students to read, to do math, to understand the scientific method, or to think critically. Because some races poll lower than the average in accomplishment, and some poll higher than the average, teachers and school boards around the country are dumbing down teaching and testing so that no one fails. This allows the failures to feel good about themselves and angers the overachievers because they are being dumbed down, too. They recognize they are being done no favors with a slack-off curriculum.

To tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of Americans, Clarence and Virginia Thomas are American heroes with a real-life Hollywood storyline. Justice Thomas is a living legend who has magnificently shattered the usual trajectory of people born in devastating circumstances, including an absent father, racism, and abject poverty. Unlike for every other Supreme Court justice, the Constitution is Thomas’ unfailing judicial North Star. Even when it’s painfully unpopular in D.C., he does not flinch at faithfully applying the actual text of the Constitution to every case. Every time justices disagree about a case, Thomas is right and the others are wrong. He’s a moral and legal giant,

All roads lead to Hunter Biden. That is, all roads paved with (alleged) extortion, bribery, money laundering, tax evasion, prostitution, drug abuse, and, most importantly, election rigging. The roads traversed by Internal Revenue Service agents-turned-whistleblowers — whose disclosures to the House Ways and Means Committee were released as transcripts on Thursday — are no exception. The troubled Biden son has always been at the center of concerns about the 2020 election, in the form of the infamous “Hunter Biden laptop.”

Barack Obama has used a stolen social security number most of his adult life. The one he uses was issued on March 28, 1977 to someone living in Connecticut, born in 1890 and is now long deceased. Obama was fifteen years old that day, living in Hawaii and playing on the junior varsity basketball team at Punahou. I uncovered the SSN information and include it in my memoir The Rubbish Hauler’s Wife versus Barack Obama. Obama violated federal law by using a phony number.

Barack Obama never came across an event that he couldn’t politicize; the recent implosion of the submersible Titan on a dive to explore the wreck of the Titanic—which left five people presumed dead—is no exception. As my colleague Mike Miller reported, the former president appeared on a CNN special titled “Obama & Amanpour” Thursday to blame “right-wing” media for making Americans “fearful of each other.” But he wasn’t done; he also decided to blame the media for excessive coverage of the sub accident while not devoting equal time to another tragedy, the story of a “migrant boat” that sank off the coast of Greece last week.

National Hockey League (NHL) teams will no longer wear rainbow-colored LGBTQ-themed jerseys during pregame warmups for Pride nights. NHL Pride Nights became a hot topic of conversation earlier this year when Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov refused to participate in his team’s Pride Night due to his orthodox Christian faith, sparking outrage from leftists who proceeded to accuse him of bigotry and homophobia. However, the Philadelphia Flyers kept him in the lineup, and the team even went on to win the game against the Anaheim Ducks.

Russian mercenary group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin will move to Belarus and have criminal charges against him dropped, the Kremlin has said, after he pulled his fighters back from advancing on Moscow. Prigozhin had earlier told his troops heading towards the Russian capital to turn back, saying he wants to avoid shedding Russian blood. In an audio message, Prigozhin said his fighters - part of the private mercenary Wagner Group - would return to their bases. He said that while his men were just 120 miles from Moscow, he decided to turn them back to avoid "shedding Russian blood".

Prosecutors have asked for a December trial for Donald Trump over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents, saying the new date would give the former president's legal team time to obtain the necessary security clearance to view the documents. The judge overseeing the case, Aileen Cannon, on Tuesday provisionally set an August date for the trial. She said at the time that she was open to requests for it to change.On Friday, the office of Jack Smith, the special counsel leading the investigation, requested a December 11 start. They said it would allow Trump's legal team sufficient time to obtain the necessary security clearances to view the classified documents.

Hunter Biden’s slap-on-the-wrist plea deal after failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars in income, and a felony gun charge he won’t be prosecuted for, follows a long history of Biden family members running afoul of the law — and skating.“The Biden family are beginning to make the Medicis look like small-time operators,” said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley. “That fact that it took over five years to even secure a plea on a couple of small misdemeanors is a testament to a family that has leveraged Joe Biden public positions into a fortune of foreign influence peddling.”

Pretty much everyone now understands that for years, Joe Biden has been taking bribes from foreign countries and interests. Whatever influence he had in the Senate and as vice president has been peddled around the globe, often by his son Hunter. Biden’s repeated claims that he knew nothing about his son’s business dealings is absurd, given that the only business Hunter was involved in was selling Joe’s influence. The most recent blow is the WhatsApp message that Scott wrote about here. In keeping with the Democrats’ determination to force Biden off the 2024 ticket, the embargo on news about his corruption is lifting.
