A Culture of Cheating
Friday, Apr 17, 2015

When you were growing up, how did you know cheating was a bad thing, and thus you don’t do it? Or did you? Reading the headlines in recent years, it’s becoming clear that if parents and grandparents know it to be true, then they certainly are not passing on the message to the next generation. 2009,...

Turnaround Specialist?
Friday, Apr 3, 2015

Did you know there are reasons to love the IRS? Liberal L.A. Times writer Doyle McManus thinks so. It was actually quite fitting that his commentary was published on April Fools’ Day. It would be difficult to miss the irony. Here are some of McManus’ “cogent facts:” * “The IRS is becoming something...

The New ‘F’ Word
Friday, Mar 20, 2015

There’s a new default “F” word. It’s Ferguson. If anything happens across the country that can be remotely connected to a non-black vs. black issue, you can bet the deed to your house that professional demonstrators will fuel the fires of destruction in Ferguson, Mo. These misdirected heathens-for-hire...

Debbie’s Day Job
Friday, Mar 6, 2015

Last week’s topic was the recent statements of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, opining that he does not believe President Barack Obama loves this country as evidenced by this president’s own actions and words. The combination makes him appear as a critic of America more than a supporter. As...

Giuliani’s View
Friday, Feb 27, 2015

There are two reasons why I wish former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani had not said: “I do not believe – and I know this is a horrible thing to say – but I do not believe that the president loves America … (H)e doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought...

NBC, Not Beyond Complicity
Friday, Feb 13, 2015

In mid-December 2014, the media buzzed with NBC’s renewal of Brian Williams’ contract for a minimum of 5 years and “at least” $10 million per year. Williams was crowned the Golden Boy of the News, overcoming the ABC and CBS competition. He was also named managing editor of “The NBC Nightly...

Brazile’s Bluster
Friday, Jan 30, 2015

Donna Brazile is more than a Democrat; she is a true leftist, and without any argument, a thoroughly loyal supporter of Barack Obama. That is not an allegation; it is a fact, and anyone can review her writings and interview comments to see the proof. To her, Obama has no faults and does everything correctly. Brazile...

What’s Next?
Friday, Jan 2, 2015

What’s next for New York City and its residents, considering the turmoil with NYPD and the leftist Mayor Bill De Blasio? The despicable actions and words of the hard-left Mayor have destroyed all of the gains made by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and now, regardless of whether the left recognizes it,...

Blood-stained Hands
Friday, Dec 26, 2014

As we close the Christmas holiday season for 2014 we must say congratulations to “activist” Al Sharpton, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, President Barack Obama, New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. Each and all of them received their sought-after Christmas...

Fools Rush to Ferguson
Friday, Dec 19, 2014

The reason for the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is monumentally important. For one, it gives all people the immensely valuable right in that no law is to be established that would abridge “the freedom of speech … or the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” The operative word...
