In the midst of all the cussing and discussing about the current disastrous situation in Afghanistan, it was recently announced that the Capitol police officer involved in the shooting of an unarmed female Jan. 6 was cleared of any charges, according to an internal review.

There is a photo I took several years ago when I worked in another state at another newspaper that I have often thought about and wished I had. I considered it one of the best photos I have ever taken.

Is the firing line ready?
Ready on the left; ready on the right; the firing line is ready.
Commence firing.
Cease fire.  
Cease fire.
Cease firing!
Are there any alibis?
I have one. Last week I was wrong about Sen. Rand Paul’s medical credentials.  I stated that Sen. Paul was an optometrist. This is incorrect. Sen. Paul is an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon. Boy! Did I blow that. No disrespect was meant to Sen. Paul on my behalf. My bad. I hope this clears it up.

Biden’s crisis of confidence

Published by admin on Thu, 08/19/2021 - 8:54am

You know it’s getting pretty bad for the Joe Biden administration when a CNN editor writes an analysis piece that calls this point in time a “crisis of confidence” in our country’s leadership.
Biden boldly stated a few months ago that America would never see another disgraceful exit from a conflict as it did in Saigon in 1975 when we evacuated our embassy staff from the rooftop with helicopters. Monday CNN showed videos of Afghan people running under and next to departing U.S. military aircraft from Kabul as it was about to be overrun by the surging Taliban.

Half the cafes and bars in Paris are reportedly refusing to enforce their country’s new COVID health pass/vaccine passport mandate requiring proof of taking COVID  vaccines, a negative COVID test or recovery from COVID-19 in the past six months. People who enter a bar or restaurant without a COVID pass face six months in jail.

Greetings! Let’s talk COVID-19. I know what you’re thinking: you’re so sick of COVID on the news every day you could just scream! Me too. Marcia and I decided to get vaccinated Friday, Aug. 6. We both had COVID-19 in December 2020—hers much worse than mine—although I couldn’t smell for about three months. Her sense of smell didn’t leave her.

Super-spreader event or not?

It seems like the national media and certain Biden Administration health “experts” can't get over the fact that those hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts from around the country and around the world apparently have had enough of the world-wide virus. Instead of hunkering down again they are in the Black Hills en masse enjoying the freedom of the road and company of their fellow motorcyclists.

A chorus of vaccine criticism

A week to the day after my latest column in which I extensively quoted the renowned Dr. Peter McCullough regarding his concerns about the COVID vaccines, the Chronicle published two letters to the editor pushing back on the doctor’s comments. While the letter writers parroted the usual CDC and leftist media talking points, neither offered any substantive or factual objections to Dr. McCullough’s warnings.

You wouldn’t know it by all the scary headlines last week, but it appears COVID-19 deaths are actually going down in this country. It seems the various media outlets  seek to keep the virus in the news forever. Here are some of the headlines.
“Biden urges Americans to “stay vigilant” for COVID threat amid push for federal workers to get vaccinated.”
“Teachers’ union president suggests schools may not reopen after new CDC guidelines.”
“Pelosi backpedals as Capitol Police respond to order that staff and visitors without masks be apprehended.”
