Ken's Comments

 Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the "Maryland Man" whose deportation to El Salvador has been described by the Democrat media as mistaken and "declared illegal" by the Supreme Court has been brought back to the US.  But his return is not what Democrats and their allies in the media expected.  Mr. Garcia was extradited to the US to face criminal charges in Tennessee.  It will be curious to see what his legal and Democrat supporters have to say now that his situation essentially has gone from bad to worse. 1. It was about the process, not the person. Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat from Maryland, had already begun to back away from Mr. Garcia when it was first revealed that Mr. Garcia was not the loving father originally depicted but a gang member and wife beater.  The Senator decided his position was about seeing due process done and not about the individual.  With the announcement of the charges, Senator Van Hollen has completed the distancing, by "...welcom[ing]t...

1.  Deportations  A common refrain from the ACLU*, and their Democrat and media allies is to say the illegal alien "has no criminal record" when objecting the Trump Administration's efforts to deport that person.  The statement may be true, but the statement was also true about the following individuals: Jose Ibarra had no criminal record prior to being arrested for the murder of Laken Riley. Victor Martinez-Hernandez had no criminal record prior to being arrested for the murder of Rachel Morin Jing Ming-Long had no criminal record until he was arrested for sex trafficking Mark Anthony Scaffe had no criminal record until he was arrested for rape and indecent assault and battery all involving a child under 14 years of age. Why isn't the fact that these individuals aren't supposed to be in the United States enough of a reason to deport them?  Why do the ACLU, Democrats, and the Media want to wait until an illegal alien has a criminal record before that person can be...

President Trump has begun using tariffs as a tool to bring other countries to the negotiating table to remove barriers to trade erected by other countries and to encourage them to purchase more American products.  Trump did this in his typical dramatic fashion, giving rise to dramatic reactions.  Wall Street reacted with significant losses for a few days and remains unsettled, financial experts have questioned the approach, and Democrats have seized on this to criticize Trump for his actions. Before looking further at the whining and complaining, let's remember that President Trump paused the tariffs for all countries that offered to negotiate - basically everyone but China.  People are wailing about tariffs that may never go into effect if the negotiations with other countries are successful. As for the whiners and complainers, if I could play the violin, I'd pull one out and play a sad song and then you I have no sympathy.  You've profited while America has suffere...

President Trump gave his State of the Union speech recently to massive approval ratings from the American people.  Meanwhile, the actions, reactions and response by the Democrats were widely criticized.  Democrat approval ratings in the polls are incredibly low and members of the party were calling for Senator Chuck Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. When we examine what the Democrats stand for or seem to stand for it becomes apparent why Americans prefer Trump.  Democrats support: -- Biological men competing in women's sports.  They disregard the impact to women who have lost scholarships, awards and trophies, or who have been physically injured.  They further disregard the feelings of women who are offended by seeing biological men in their locker rooms. -- Biological men being incarcerated in women's prisons, ignoring the fact that women in those prisons complain of being raped and impregnated by those "female" prisoners with male appendages. -- Ignorin...

Opponents are deriding Elon Musk as an unelected bureaucrat - for example Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts said "no one elected Elon Musk."  Senator Schumer, Minority Leader and senior Senator from NY, was quoted saying "Its like letting a tiger into the petting zoo..." and "...the US was witnessing a hostile takeover of the federal government..."*1  Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it a "plutocratic coup."*2  Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) said "this is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like." *3   A University of North Carolina law professor, Michael J. Gerhardt, closed his comments by saying "There is no mechanism for keeping Elon Musk in check." *4  Many, if not all of these comments come after, and are complaining about, the shutdown of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).  The first two comments, the one by Senator Warren and the first quote from Senator Schumer are corr...

California is experiencing horrific fires around Los Angeles, so let's use this opportunity to talk about how the Democrat controlled government has run what should be an idyllic paradise into the ground. Let's start by defining "Democrat controlled government." Governor - Democrat for 14 years State Senate - Democrat for 32 years State Assembly - Democrat for 30 of the last 32 years Los Angeles - there has been one Republican Mayor (8 years) since 1961 Los Angeles - Not one Republican on the City Council San Francisco - Democrat mayors since 1964 I could list more cities or city councils but I think that makes the point.   What has single party Government gotten the people of California? High taxes.   Nerdwallet report on taxes High inflation - Cumulative inflation since 2021 was over 20%.   Joint Economic Committee  and  National Business Capital High Homelessness -  Highest number of homeless people, in fact 1/3rd of all homeless people in...
