The following is an open letter sent this week to U.S. Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Santa Clarita.   Dear Representative McKeon, The National Do Not Call List was an extremely welcome tool to the country’s residents. Unfortunately it has become toothless and impotent. The number and...

The underlying story is sad.  In fact, that’s an understatement. It’s a story of gut-wrenching violence and horror. The headline is a bit captivating – “Man Gets Death for Slaying” – but it is the tearful words of the victim’s son that make your heart crack. Remember...

Often when the media majority is called out for having a liberal bent, many liberals and and a lot of Democrats scoff at the notion. The snorters might want to believe otherwise, but research says they are dead wrong. A study done in 1981 by S. Robert Lichter and Stanley Rothman, then professors with...

Ronald Reagan was typecast as the Teflon president, but he had nothing on Barack Obama. Reagan was an amateur. Irrespective of what goes on in this country while Obama reminds us he is the Commander-in-Chief, he is insulated from responsibility like no one before him including Bill Clinton. One of the...

President Obama ran part of his first campaign shouting that we, America, needed to develop friendships around the world, and he was the man who could talk to anybody and forge those friendships. What will it take to...

The common theme has been duly noted: Liberals “feel” every aspect of life.  Unfortunately, in the real world, emotion overshadows – if not displaces – intellect and reasoning. For instance, it would be blissful if every American citizen had health insurance.  Lovely thought...

For once, there is a glimmer of hope that justice is being served and our court system actually works.  It works for the true victim that is and not some felonious predator “defendant” who suddenly becomes the “victim” as soon as he’s arrested.  That’s what happens...

Foul-mouthed comedian Chris Rock appeared on Capitol Hill in February for a show-and-tell with like-minded Obama politicians to preach to the world that Barack Obama is “our boss – our dad” and we had better listen to him. I’ll respond with a “No thank you.” Listening...
