Electoral Consequences
Friday, Nov 14, 2014

Name-brand Democrats are all over the map with their individual analyses of the Nov. 4 election outcome. While Americans are starving more than ever for that “change,” let’s implore that any “hope” will not be in vain. As each day passes, it does not appear these same prominent Democrats get...

Schools: Public vs. Charter
Friday, Oct 31, 2014

As with any bureaucracy, the body and its rules and regulations, language, and of course, dollars – is all very complicated. Few people truly understand all of the nuts and bolts of the nation’s school systems. However, a lack of specific knowledge of every detail does not render Joe Citizen...

Measure ‘S’ Pros, Cons
Friday, Oct 24, 2014

Admittedly, aside from a beautification prospective, the billboard issue was a topic I didn’t follow closely at first because of the old “no dog in the fight” thing. Then the floodgates opened with protests, signature gatherers, blockers, confrontations with shoppers at our stores and now a ballot...

The Visiting Candidate
Sunday, Oct 19, 2014

The manner in which a candidate runs his or her campaign is clearly indicative of how he or she will perform if elected. Presently the campaign is the House of Representatives seat to represent California’s 25th District. It’s between Steve Knight, a 25th District resident, and Tony Strickland,...

Prop. 47 Won’t Make Us Safer
Friday, Oct 17, 2014

There are several reasons why our society is so out of whack with common sense that leads to rules whereby the good people are the ones paying the majority of the bills. One big reason is that voters render themselves ignorant of the “pro” and “con” facts and do not do diligent research. This,...

Be an Informed Voter
Wednesday, Sep 10, 2014

Recently an online source published a pro-Tony Strickland commentary that made statements that need some sunshine. By the grace of God, we still have some semblance of America, and within that framework we get to choose our political candidates and vote accordingly. The smart way to execute that right...

Sharpton’s Real Job
Friday, Sep 5, 2014

Congratulations go to Al Sharpton. He has succeeded once again. In full-on Sharpton style, he timely ginned up the chaos and devastation in a midwestern suburb named Ferguson, Mo., and as planned, it ignited and smoldered. Sharpton taking center stage to wreak havoc is always predictable, but the newest...

Death ‘Unfair’?
Friday, Aug 8, 2014

Second of two parts.   Last week I wrote about the controversy of those who believe in capital punishment and those who do not, and how neither side is able to convince the other their arguments are suitable. The initial argument on the side of the opponents is that the death penalty makes the state...

Too Long to Die?
Friday, Aug 1, 2014

The death penalty debate will be everlasting. There are those who believe in the ultimate punishment and those who do not, and neither side can understand the other’s mindset. Californians have repeatedly voted in favor the death penalty, but the opponents continue to chip away at the will of the people. Death...

Soldier of Dishonor
Friday, Jul 18, 2014

It’s impossible to wrap your mind around it. It’s one more story, with evidence, that our honorable and deserving military men and women are getting fleeced. While we watch deserving veterans – and their families – who have sacrificed so much, we see a once-great United States military...
