Lone Gunman?
Tuesday, Jul 21, 2015

We lost five of our finest last week. Five young men who served our country. Three came back from tours overseas and continued their service, encouraging others to do the same. I have spoken to many of these young men and women, asking them why they serve. Why put your life on the line for a cause they...

Haters Hatin’
Wednesday, Jul 1, 2015

Here we go again. For those of you with a very low IQ and the inability to look up words in a dictionary, by definition, “disagreement” is not “hate.” Me believing that my viewpoint is correct and yours is not, is not hate. Believing I am better than you because my viewpoint is right could be...

Be All You Can’t Be
Tuesday, Jun 23, 2015

Watching the new stories this week, and noticing how all the older stories like the Baltimore riots, the Iranian no-deal and so on get kicked to the back burner is mind-bending. The news cycles are dictated by so-called “news sources.” They put out and harp on what they believe is most important...

Leave Us Alone
Wednesday, Jun 17, 2015

Mr. Obama is at it again, trying to regulate another part of our lives that makes us uniquely American. Americans understand freedom, the ability to work harder, do better, move up – and out. We work harder at work to get a better position, make more money, have more security and more opportunities. Americans...

With all of the news swirling around (see what I did there) in the media last week, there was little attention paid to what’s behind the recent drop in Hillary’s numbers. Why, you ask? Because it seems people are so polarized along male-female (can I still use those terms?), white-black, gay-straight...

No Honor, Integrity Required
Wednesday, May 27, 2015

It seems the more stories I do about our institutions of higher learning, the more I come to the conclusion there are no real standards for those teaching our young people. You might need a degree in order to teach, but that’s about all. Honor and integrity are no longer required. Once again, my home...

Word of the Day
Tuesday, May 19, 2015

The word is “microaggression.” The word “microaggression” has cropped up with increased frequency over the last year, to the point that now I see it almost daily. What does it mean? Webster’s says it has “no meaning.” It’s not a word. It doesn’t exist. Various blogs, papers and online...

Baghdad ‘Bama
Monday, May 11, 2015

Yes, we have Baghdad ‘Bama and his trusty sidekick John Kerry. As national and satellite pictures were showing American troops taking over Baghdad airport and moving toward the city, Baghdad Bob proclaims, “There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never” on live TV … as you can hear the shells...

Injecting Race
Tuesday, May 5, 2015

Last week, among all the garbage that was going on in Baltimore, we saw something we don’t see very often: a parent taking charge of her teenage child who was going down to where the riots were happening. Once the vandalism started, it turned from protests to riots. But she marched through the crowd,...

Behind the Curtain
Monday, Apr 27, 2015

This week, Hillary’s “misspeaks,” “misleads” and “what difference, at this point, does it make?” sagas continue to be in the news. And I mean, the real news. The news gods may be having a little change of heart. ABC, NBC, CBS and, yes, even MSNBC have been asking questions and making comments...
