Documentary Evidence
Friday, Jul 11, 2014

Once again, President Obama has been taken by surprise – and this time it’s the tsunami of illegal aliens flooding across the U.S. Border. Surprise? Hardly. Even Democrats are not denying the Obama administration knew of the looming flood as early as October 2013. Completely verifiable is that...

Life Saving Canines
Friday, Jul 4, 2014

Second of two parts. There is no shortage of disclosed information about the absence of promised, decent care for our military men and women. That fact leads directly to the reason there are so many generous and fruitful organizations that more than fill in the gaps of our lax if not careless government....

Battle Buddies
Friday, Jun 27, 2014

First of two parts. Everybody needs a buddy. Buddies are essential for quality of life. They provide contact with another beating heart. They are our sounding boards that echo lucidity back to us when we are too mired down to possess objectivity. They are Kleenex for our emotions, mirrors for our souls,...

The War Party
Friday, Jun 6, 2014

There are a lot of people who provide cover for Barack Obama like total Kevlar body armor, but few, if any, are as loyal as Democratic strategist Donna Brazile. She is nothing if not omnipresent immediately after every act of buffoonery Obama can pull. The latest is Brazile’s attempt at translating...

Steve Knight’s The One
Friday, May 16, 2014

A Real War on Women
Friday, May 9, 2014

Liberals proudly choose to be known for feel-good things like global warming, ecology, “green,” a host of topics under the umbrella of “women’s rights” and so on. Presently there is one item in the news that marries two liberal talking points, and that is the kidnapping...

Joe’s Just Being Joe
Friday, Apr 11, 2014

You’ve got to hand it to many of the Democrats: They are farmers at heart. They can spread more manure than any experienced farmer could scoop, and they’ve sent Joe Biden out with the machinery. I refer to the latest e-mail from the Democratic National Committee with an attached 3-minute...

Unequal Under the Law
Friday, Mar 28, 2014

Recognizing the wholly transparent leftward bend of the Los Angeles Times, a comment in a staff writer’s recent article about the Hobby Lobby religious freedom case was catching. For some background, Hobby Lobby is owned by an openly religious family that refuses to succumb to Obama’s Affordable...

Crimes Against the Public
Friday, Mar 7, 2014

Last week I wrote about the dismal atmosphere of politicians, specifically California state Sens. Roderick D. Wright (D-Inglewood) and Ron Calderon (D-Montebello), and the political process in general. For a quick review, Wright was convicted by a Los Angeles jury Jan. 29 on eight felony counts of various...

Political Recidivism
Friday, Feb 28, 2014

America has its family dynasties. Notably there is the vast Kennedy dynasty and to a lesser degree, the Bush family. Lucky California: We have the Calderon family dynasty. That is not good news for Californians as a whole. It seems Charles Calderon led the family of Democrats into politics with his 1979...
