Potty Break
Monday, May 16, 2016

The dictator is at it again. Mr. Obama really has a mental health issue. After nearly eight years, he still hasn’t figured out that he is not a “dictator,” he is not a “king,” he is not our “supreme leader” nor “grand imperial poohbah.” Nope, he is just the president of the republic...

No Sane Person
Thursday, Apr 7, 2016

It’s always been pretty obvious, for the most part: The Democrats have never been really fond of the military. If they had any feeling for them at all, I would say, based on the actions of many Dems who have taken up temporary residence in the White House, they loathe them. Whenever a Democrat gets...

Purple, My Eye
Monday, Mar 14, 2016

President Obama has once again shown his utter disdain for conservatives. Before getting into office, he said in a speech that we weren’t a red country, we weren’t a blue country, we were a purple country. However, he seems to have become colorblind to all but his own party’s color. Leading up...

It Must Be Racist
Thursday, Mar 10, 2016

Melissa Harris-Perry has to be the poster child for adage, “pride comes before a fall.” She is continually stuck in an altered universe where the only inhabitant seems to be her. In Melissa’s world, everything is racist. Why is burnt toast black? Because the bread bakers and the toaster makers...

Get Off Your Knees
Tuesday, Feb 23, 2016

Hey, yo, Christians. It’s a little late to start complaining about Donald Trump. I’m watching all pf the garbage on social media from conservative Christian Republicans asking Christians all over to get on their knees and pray Trump doesn’t win. Hello? First, does God work that way? Are you really...

Second Civil War
Tuesday, Feb 16, 2016

Justice Antonin Scalia died last weekend of natural causes. At 79 years old, he left behind a loving wife of 35 years, nine children, 28 grandchildren and many caring and loving friends – and many more people he touched and encouraged in a positive way. Let me start by saying my heart and prayers...

The Trump Lever
Monday, Jan 25, 2016

First let me say I’m not a Trump supporter. I don’t really want to have to vote for him, but if you leave me choices like the self-absorbed, all-important liar and cheat – her highness, “I can be bought” Hillary – or “Feel the Bern” like a bad rash, let me give you everything...

State of Delusion
Monday, Jan 18, 2016

Unfortunately, I couldn’t listen to the State of the Union speech live, because my national radio show (self-plug there) started when he did. I did, however, go back and listen several times – I couldn’t believe what I was hearing – and found little truth or fact in his speech. At times,...

Don’t Fear Refugees?
Monday, Jan 11, 2016

They just want a safe place to go. Sure they do. Over Christmas and New Year’s, Germany had a rash of rapes and assaults. The numbers were shocking. They have never seen this kind of crime spree against women. More than 100 filed “complaints” of rape and assault over the new year, and police believe...

Merry Christmas
Tuesday, Dec 22, 2015

Happy Holidays to those who really don’t know what to celebrate or why they celebrate. Happy Run-Up-Your -Debt Day. Or Happy Festivus. Happy Happy. Whatever floats your boat, as they say. Unless you want to go back to pre-Catholic Church days, it’s simply Christmas. Yes, for those of you scholars...
