By Ray Cardello for April 25, 2024, Season 26 / Post 5 Many Of us sadly have elder relatives who suffer from various stages of memory loss or dementia. We see their pain as they struggle to recall names and events. We ensure that these precious souls do not injure themselves or others. We help them with decisions they can no longer make independently. We love these people who guided us through our lives, and now they need guidance. This journey is the circle of life, but we do not need this circle of evolution in some facets of our lives. Business and government are two where we do not need pe ..read more

By Ray Cardello for April 24, 2024, Season 26 / Post 4 I have written on this subject on numerous occasions and have yet to find a valid answer to the question many of us ponder. Why do people migrate from a Blue state like New York, California, or Massachusetts to Red or Purple states like New Hampshire, Tennessee, or Florida? The obvious answer would be financial or safety. Blue states are getting too expensive for even tax-loving Liberals, and the destination states I mentioned have at least one thing in common: no income tax or sales tax. The Red states tend to have better school systems ..read more

By Ray Cardello for April 23, 2024, Season 26 / Post 3 Amazingly, the colleges and universities where you think you would find the brightest thinkers of the next generation of leaders are dens of lemmings. Columbia, Yale, MIT, and Emerson College are some of these schools. The media focuses on East Coast schools, but West Coast schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley are also protested. Thousands of young students are taking to the campus courtyards to chant, beat drums, burn flags, and harass their Israeli classmates. They are protesting against Israel and American support for Israel. They are supp ..read more

By Ray Cardello for April 22, 2024, Season 26 / Post 2 Joe Biden was on a three-city tour of Pennsylvania this week. He started in his hometown of Scranton, though I am not sure many in Scranton want to claim Joe as one of their own. You see, for all Joe says he is doing for his homeys, his lousy policies are costing the good people of Scranton over $800 per month to maintain their lifestyle from 2020. These folks, Joe, are not making $10,000 a year to cover your Bidenomics, but apparently, that has been scrapped. We are not supposed to mention your dynamic economic plan that proves each month ..read more

By Ray Cardello for April 21, 2024, Season 26 / Post 1 Donald Trump has to name a Vice Presidential running mate today. This decision is imperative for many reasons, and I am unsure why he is procrastinating. I realize Trump likes to be the only person on the stage, but the 2024 election is like no other before. He has to realize this and the importance of a strong person to join him on the ticket to save this country from a Biden/Harris journey to extinction. Let me outline my reasons for calling for Trump’s decision, and then you can decide if my reasoning is valid. Unprecedented election in ..read more

By Ray Cardello for April 20, 2024, Season 25 / Post 50 Listening to the experts analyze the Israeli attack on Iran on Friday morning, you could hear one common thread, and it was not complimentary of the Biden Administration. The assessment is that Biden has no military or diplomatic acumen, which is also true for his team. Biden has America involved in two wars involving our allies. There has been no wavering on Ukraine as Biden cannot be more supportive. He has gone back to the well many times for funding for Ukraine, and many will say with conviction that he has a vested interest in Ukrain ..read more

Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles, Ray Cardello, 4/ 19 /24, Volume 1- 23 Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas are very busy men. The Attorney General has a full slate locking up January 6 protestors and quarterbacking the multi-state effort to jail Former President and 2024 poll-leading future President Donald Trump. The Secretary spends much of his time on The Hill filibustering in front of House and Senate committees.

By Ray Cardello for April 18, 2024, Season 25 / Post 49 Do you remember when you asked your parents for a pony for your birthday, and they nodded in agreement? When you woke up on your special day, there was no pony, and you knew you had been duped. Well, kids, you have been duped again. Like there was no pony, your student loans are still waiting for your next payment. Biden keeps making promises. Biden is blowing smoke up your butts in the hope that you will vote for him before reality sets in, and in many cases, he will be correct. Today’s students will spend upwards of $400,000 on a useles ..read more

By Ray Cardello for April 17, 2024, Season 25 / Post 49 The Democrats, especially Joe Biden, have learned to use the courts and trials to their advantage. They set the Justice Department loose because Donald Trump would return to run against Biden to regain his Presidency. The word in the White House last week was “Don’t.” For the previous year, the Dems favorite word was “Indict,” and indict they did, to the tune of 91 indictments filed against Former President Donald Trump. They did this for three reasons: They knew the media would cover every indictment and trial, and that would poison the ..read more

By Ray Cardello for April 16, 2024, Season 25 / Post 26 I am taking a break from politics today to reminisce about something we may not think about much until they are silent. I am talking about the voices that narrated some of the great moments of sports that gave us incredible memories throughout our lives. I can still remember vividly some of the moments I shared with my Dad, which revolved around sports and music. My Dad was a Jazz fan, primarily the Big Bands. I remember the Boston Globe and Newport Jazz Festivals and listening to Duke Ellington at Cranes Castle in Ipswich, Massachusetts ..read more
