Sounds great, but the invitation and $1.75 will get you a cup of coffee at Winchell’s donuts. For the second year in a row, I have been asked to broadcast live from CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Washington, D.C.
Those of you who thought conservatism in this country was dead,...

For weeks leading up to the big sequestration event, we were told how the country’s critically needed services were going to come to a grinding halt. Thousands of planes would be grounded because FAA air traffic controllers would be laid off, houses would burn down due to all of the laid-off firemen,...

It is my opinion, and I do believe, that religion of any kind is under attack here in America. However, the primary targets, for now, are Christian.
Let’s start with the pope announcing his resignation due to health issues. The news was a big deal both inside and outside of the Catholic community....

When I was a kid, February was an exciting month. I didn’t necessarily have a Valentine, but I had Dorothy.

Each week I listen to hours of speeches and videos. My mind is filled with useless garbage from the audio and visual assaults that I endure for my audience weekly. This week, I heard the words “We the People” repeatedly.
The president of these United States, for the first time in one of his speeches,...

Less oil, less pollution, just less. We are told green energy is the direction we need to go. We need solar panels, wind power, battery power. But why? So far, it has mostly been a failure, yet we keep throwing money at it. Your money and my money.
If we have a viable way to use alternative energy, I’m...

I have been hearing it for weeks now: guns this, guns that. Those nasty guns. And who needs more than 10 bullets to hit a deer? Then “the left” starts with the automatic weapons. Who needs an automatic weapon? Why do we need guns?
Let’s apply some common sense. Let’s stop the hysteria and get...

Once again, we had another fiscal emergency. Well, THEY had a self-made emergency. Yes, our federal government, our legislators, the ones who created this “fiscal cliff” mess in the first place and had more than two years to work toward a resolution, decided to wait until the last minute and act...
