I sure hope this coronavirus crisis comes to an end soon. I sure hope the millions of people thrown out of work get their jobs back soon. I sure hope the major league baseball season opens, not to mention our schools and restaurants. Oh, excuse me. I'm terribly sorry I used that dirty word "hope."
Every four-year-old knows the official coronavirus drill by now. Wash your hands often, cover your coughs and sneezes and don't touch your face.
There's a virus threatening the health of America, all right. But it's not new, not from a foreign country and it's not the coronavirus. The virus Americans need to fear the most today is the political left.
Everyone talks about the power of the Republican and Democrat party establishments. It's real — just ask Bernie.
Two weeks ago, I was happily sailing on a huge cruise ship in the Indian Ocean. My wife Colleen is a travel agent and I was tagging along with her and her group on a Celebrity Cruise Line ship as it sailed from Dubai to Singapore and back with 2,300 souls aboard. Everyone on board our ship knew what was happening that same week to the unlucky people stuck on the Diamond Princess cruise liner docked offshore Tokyo.
I never thought I'd feel sorry for a billionaire — a $60 billion billionaire. But watching Mike Bloomberg getting beat up in the Democrat debate in Vegas Wednesday night was almost tragic.
It started Sunday night with an exciting and hard-fought Super Bowl game, which I was happy to see end with the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the 'San Francisco 49ers. Then the next day came the Iowa caucus, aka the Democrat Party's Iowa fiasco.
It doesn't matter whether the impeachment trial of President Trump is already over or it drags on for months. Two-thirds of the U.S. Senate is never going to find the president guilty of the House Democrats' vague and bogus charges of abuse of power and obstructing Congress.
I must have said it a dozen times since the Democrats' impeachment miniseries took over our televisions, but I'll say it again.
You're excused if you didn't hear about the latest impeachment "bombshell" that exploded in the media on Wednesday.
The shortest world war in history is history. Did you miss the news? I'm talking about the big war between the U.S. and Iran that Democrats and the liberal media were hoping and maybe even praying would explode in the Middle East this week and prevent the re-election of President Trump.
I'd like to see everyone have a happy and prosperous New Year. But I'm afraid a lot of freelancers and independent contractors in California are going to have it tough in 2020.
What a great holiday season it is. Know why? Congress is on vacation, which means all the rest of us get a break from politics.
Did anyone else not watch the Democrat presidential debate on TV Thursday night? I thought so. After three months of watching Saint Nancy Pelosi and her House Democrats stage their solemn impeachment circus, I decided to skip the latest "historic" debate.
Forget the phony solemnity about the Constitution and the rule of law. Forget the malarkey about the president committing high crimes and misdemeanors. We all know the real reasons Democrats are hell-bent on impeaching Donald Trump. It's because they hate him beyond reason and because they still believe their own hoax that he stole the presidency from Hillary Clinton.
Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Removing Donald Trump from office before he can get re-elected is the only thing in Washington that Democrats and the national media really care about. But while Thelma Pelosi and Louise Nadler speed down their constitutionally crooked backroad to impeachment, the Trump administration has been quietly tackling issues like education that are actually important for Americans.
"Laws are like sausages," Otto von Bismarck supposedly said. "It is better not to see them being made." Suffering through far too many hours of the House impeachment this week reminded me of the truth of that political quip. Making laws is a dirty, smelly, partisan, often corrupt business, even in the best democratic republics.
Spoiler alert. The Democrats' big dream of impeaching President Trump is going nowhere.
Wildfire season in California makes headlines every year, but it's nothing unnatural and nothing new.
President Trump says he wants to get our troops out of the "blood-stained sand" of the Middle East.
