Check DiCaprio’s Carbon Shoe Size
Friday, Mar 4, 2016

Avoiding the Oscars has been effortless on my part for the last several years. This year held a bit of intrigue, considering the elitists’ mutiny over the lack of skin color among Oscar nominees. It was a tad beguiling to see how the whole of liberal Hollywood would handle being in the shoes of conservatives. In...

High Court Polemics
Friday, Feb 19, 2016

The adage, “If it bleeds, it leads,” is also saying: “If it’s negative, it’s attractive.” I’m not the only one who’s really tired of the intentional negative. All of the major news channels, including cable, have so many shows under the umbrella of “news reporting,” coupled with numerous...

Rehabbed to Kill Again
Friday, Jan 29, 2016

People will never agree on the propriety of the U.S. military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which was established in January 2002 as a result of the terrorist attacks upon the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. George W. Bush was president, and he faced a lot of criticism over detaining 775 terrorists...

No Freedom for Victims
Friday, Jan 15, 2016

President Obama works to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, citizens’ safety be damned. California falls right in line. Christopher Evans Hubbart is the infamous “Pillowcase Rapist” police desperately sought as early as 1972. His preferred targets were 20-something women, and his...

Paid to Leave
Friday, Jan 8, 2016

Jerry Powers is the name, and departing as a well-paid public employee with a titanic cloud over his head and huge financial compensation is the game. It’s the same-old, same-old for taxpayers. The L.A. County probation chief’s musical chair is incapable of being filled by a long-term, efficient...

Obama Does Not Care
Friday, Dec 18, 2015

Appearances are that most rational Americans are past asking questions like “where’s the outrage?” and “what will it take?” I’ve been open about not being a fan of Donald Trump, but his continuance to amass a flock is no mystery, considering the acts of – or more accurately, the non-acts...

Land of the Free
Friday, Nov 20, 2015

If you’ve ever wondered what kind of busy work the U. S. Government assigns its bloated number of employees to keep them on the rolls, here’s one example. Aside from anyone who might reside beneath a rock, there is no mystery to any thinking person why America has an illegal immigration problem....

Odom’s Bad Choices
Friday, Oct 23, 2015

The mainstream media didn’t fail to jump and quickly over-report on the latest antics of Lamar Odom. No doubt the salaciousness of the brothel component was a significant driving factor. One enthralled mainstream media outlet was the L.A. Times. For at least three days in a row, the Times inked...

Aye, Carly
Friday, Oct 9, 2015

There are nearly 13 months to go before the next presidential election. The negative flack will only intensify. Carly Fiorina is the piñata for “30,000 HP jobs going overseas” and for being fired as Hewlett Packard’s CEO (1999-2005). Both charges make good straw. Youthful New York Times columnist...

Give the Woman a Mirror
Friday, Sep 25, 2015

California’s U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer is retiring at age 75. The departure hasn’t tempered her hate for her onetime opponent and now-presidential candidate Carly Fiorina. Last week, Boxer’s wrath was one colossal exposure of hypocrisy and bitterness. Boxer claimed the following about her then-“landslide”...
