American Thinker

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker For the past four years, our national borders have been as porous as a sieve, allowing thousands of illegal aliens to cross into America every day. Few are screened for criminal backgrounds, useful skills, intentions toward America, or infectious diseases. The criminal toll from invading gang members is significant, but not every border crosser is a thief, rapist, pedophile, or murderer. However, everyone crossing the border could be a carrier of an infectious disease -- a walking petri dish of bacteria and other microorganisms that may cause far greater problems than the criminal aliens.

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker It’s sunny and unseasonably warm where I am today, but a week ago, it was snowy and unseasonably cold. A climate warrior might label the former as global warming, the latter as global cooling, or the composite as climate change. A rational person would call it weather.

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker In name, Joe Biden is America’s 46th president. His “signature” is on official documents. He is photographed periodically, whether in the Oval Office, wandering in foreign lands or inappropriately sniffing or nibbling young children.

In another, Obama is taller than Biden, and in another photo, Biden is taller than Trump.

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | American Thinker President Joe Biden is often unaware of his surroundings or behavior, but he surely knows that Christmas is almost here. Playing Santa Claus, he is handing out gifts — pardons to existing and as-yet-unprosecuted criminals and members of Congress and special gifts to those succeeding him in the White House, particularly President-elect Donald Trump.Concerning Biden’s cognition, we are now learning that the White House was fully aware of his mental decline since before he took office and concealed this information from the public, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker President-elect Donald Trump is taking a media break from being called a fascist or Nazi to the latest criticism of filling his cabinet positions with those not deemed to be “experts” by the self-proclaimed “expert class” of government. Who defines “expert”? Simple: those deemed experts by the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, or administrative class embeds. In other words, it is a circle-jerk of self-professed experts insisting they are the only true experts. Confirmation bias anyone? Reuters bemoans Trump’s approach of going outside the “expert class”, who have gotten so much wrong over the years, instead favoring those with practical experience. “U.S. President-elect Donald Trump chose loyalists with little e...
