In his final address to North Dakota, Doug Burgum couldn't help himself. He had to go to his new boss's playbook and criticize someone just to make himself look better. Never mind the fact that different times call for different measures. Burgum went all the way back to the 1980's to find someone to attack. He went aft...

A lot of things have happened since we last spoke by blog. So let's look at just a couple of big things: Tony Bender passed away. It's a huge loss to all of us, and I have no doubt that in my lifetime, there'll never be a better writer. If you're like me at all, there wasn't one article of his you hadn't read. The shee...

Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States. The campaign he ran worked...twice. And the tactics he used to connect with a majority of Americans worked...twice. They love him, and want their kids to turn out just like him. And by being the way he is, they gave him their vote...twice. Democrats need to ...

Call it polling data or just a waste of time, but recently I was talking to two Trump Republicans. And by Trump Republicans, I mean the kind of MAGA supporters that are all in with the flags, bumper stickers, and hats. I know this isn't scientific by any standard, but what they told me might interest you. They will be ...

Now Donald Trump is talking about Arnold Palmer's penis. That's right. The Republican-endorsed candidate for President of the United States spoke to America how other golfers commented on the size of Palmer's genitalia. Now I know for sure he's losing it. I asked a Trump supporter why he thought Trump would do somethin...

I've been getting some calls into the show about the statewide measures and what they do. Listeners are asking how I would vote, so I'll give you my recommendations. Let's take them one at a time. Measure 1 does something that has been long overdue. It changes the names of some of our state institutions to something mo...

In the last 20 years of being in the media, I've had the pleasure of getting to know Merrill Piepkorn. Merrill is full of life and understands what this region loves, and it's why everyone likes him. He's a folksy person with the power to make people smile. That's why it didn't surprise me when he was elected to the No...

There's an energy out there that Donald Trump can no longer disregard. It's an energy that I would argue, America has been hungry for. Americans are sick of conflict everyday and the name-calling from elected officials. If Kamala Harris wins in November, I think that ends. I don't believe in polls as much as I used to....

Donald Trump has done many disgusting things in his life, but his latest has to rank amongst his worst. To go to Arlington National Cemetery and degrade the hallowed ground it represents is unforgivable. The men and women that lie there gave the ultimate cost you can pay for the very freedom he enjoys. To go there and ...

I recently got home from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and I have to tell you, it was exciting. The atmosphere and energy was contagious to say the least. The type of energy that might just carry to November. The Republicans don't want to run against Vice President Kamala Harris. In fact, I could make ...

Imagine waking up in the morning and finding out the man you just beat in a debate is no longer running against you. A man that you were certain you were going to beat this fall. That's what's happened to Donald Trump. And to say he's pissed off would be an understatement. So, the question becomes, What will Trump do a...

In case you haven't noticed, Kamala Harris is Black. And in case you haven't noticed, she's also a woman. With those comes certain things you shouldn't attack. Things that any decent human being wouldn't attack. Despite Donald Trump knowing all the above, it didn't stop him from targeting Kamala Harris for being Black....

Joe Biden did what America needed him to do. As a true patriot, he withdrew from the Presidential race after already having the Democratic nomination assured. In other words, it was his race to win or lose. It's just fairly easy to conclude that it was the latter after his debate performance. It was after Donald Trump'...

The former President of the United States was shot in the ear from an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. A lone shooter on top of a neighboring building took an AR and shot at the former President without caring where the bullets went. One bystander was killed, and others were seriously injured. We don't...

By the time you read this, we may already know the fate of Doug Burgum in the Trump world. But as I write this, the Donald hasn't shown his hand yet. The question I have for you is, What if Burgum doesn't get the job? What if Trump goes with a different route? The answer is, your Burgum will be devastated. The position...

Ray Holmberg, former Republican Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee in North Dakota, has agreed to plead guilty to traveling overseas for the purpose of having sex with children. Trips, I might add, that the taxpayers of North Dakota paid for. The plea agreement comes with the dropping of charges of possession...

Governor Burgum, At some point, the national media is going to vet you for the national stage. There are questions they might ask if they dig a little deeper. So, as someone in the media that knows you well enough and knows to ask these questions, let me take a run at it and try to help you out. We know you said on Mee...

The debate over whether Donald Trump is guilty of a felony is over. A jury made up of 12 of his peers found him so on all 34 counts brought against him, making Trump the first president ever convicted of a felony. Of course, Trump will appeal. In fact, he already has publicly. In a press conference today, he used all t...

Let's just assume for debate sake that you know a man that lost a court case where he was accused of raping a woman. That same man is also in court for how he paid off a porn star for sex. In fact, you could make some further assumptions, but I think you're already making some conclusions. You wouldn't need to ask your...
