The Disappointing Donald
Friday, Sep 4, 2015

Trump is disappointing because he possesses all of the right tools – a recognizable name, power, money and clear access to the dais and the microphone. But he continues to misuse all of them. Yes, it’s way past time to be outspoken and start taking the edge off of the ultra-liberal PC garbage...

The Art of the Deal
Friday, Aug 28, 2015

There was a time when the enemy was the Axis Powers. Then it was communism. Most thought the enemies were on the outside. After all, we were the United States of America. The most stalwart because we had a mighty military and a citizenship united in making us better tomorrow than were yesterday. We had...

Last week California Sen. Sharon Runner wrote about the fate of SB54, which addresses those convicted of sex-offense crimes and their subsequent residency restrictions once they are released from incarceration. Runner stated her mission clearly: “The California Supreme Court decision (that ruled on...

Dodging the Issue
Friday, Jul 24, 2015

It’s been a journey of learning in listening to the mantra-of-the-moment from people or groups that have a pulpit for the topic of the minute. We had the theme of “connect the dots” from Nancy Pelosi some years ago over some now-forgotten, allocated conservative frailty and later it was Pelosi’s...

Where’s the Dialogue?
Friday, Jul 17, 2015

It was nothing I intentionally set out to prove. I just watched the unfolding, so I’ll speak from my own personal experience. I’m not the only one who bears witness to the hollow cry of the “left” in their default position of “America needs a dialogue.” The truth is, dialogue is the...

No Photo-Op Here
Friday, Jul 10, 2015

Last week I asked if anyone recognized the name Jennifer Rivers. I doubt that many, if any, did. This week I ask you the same question about Amber Hailey. These women have a lot in common: (1) indescribable grief because their sons are both dead; (2) they were both innocent victims; (3) they were murdered...

Not Even a Footnote
Friday, Jul 3, 2015

Do you recognize the names Jennifer Rivers, Chuck Taylor or Tavin Price?  No? There’s no wonderment in that. Mainly because the names aren’t sexy and do not command celebrity faces in the cameras. Jennifer Rivers is a mom, Tavin Price is her son, and Chuck Taylor is the brand name on faddish sneakers. The...

Lies of Convenience
Friday, May 29, 2015

There is so much sludge in politics that a thinking mind would conclude no one needs to make anything up. In other words, lie. Not one side is immune from asserting the “stupid,” so why do certain people or sects feel the unhinged need to lie? There’s enough “stupid” out...

Hope and Change
Friday, May 1, 2015

This week Loretta Lynch was sworn in as Attorney General of the United States, replacing Eric Holder. Let’s hope for change, and for America’s sake, the replacement is a huge upgrade. Holder’s service was a dangerous and troublesome threat to the whole of America. No doubt Lynch holds many of the...

Wronging Women’s Rights
Friday, Apr 24, 2015

To a number of women, Hillary Rodham Clinton is the face of American feminism. She wears that proudly. So it’s rather noticeable now, with her ordination as the Democrats’ presidential candidate, that her theme has switched to championing for the “common folk.” Hillary is going to continue carrying...
