Cronies Come Home to Roost
Monday, Oct 20, 2014

If you ever want to see real thug-style politics, look no further than the Obama administration. From day one, Obama has told us lobbyists would not be welcomed in Washington, D.C., and that cronyism would not be tolerated. But as I’ve said before, this White House has no real grasp of the English...

Purple Penguins
Monday, Oct 13, 2014

This story goes in my “Administrators Gone Wild” file. It seems a Nebraska school district is instructing its teachers not to use the terms “boys and girls,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “you guys” – you get the idea. Why? Because they don’t include gender non-confirming terminology...

5.9% Unemployment? Not
Monday, Oct 6, 2014

Government math takes on many forms. I think it’s the basis for Common Core math. In Common Core, 2 plus 2 plus 2 doesn’t always equal 6. Just like 18 percent of employable people in the U.S. equals a 5.9-percent unemployment rate. The 5.9-percent number is usually arrived at simply by looking at...

Our Unknown Soldier
Monday, Sep 29, 2014

At the time of this writing, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi will have been in jail six full months – 180 days. A soldier in the United States Marine Corps. His crime? Accidently making a wrong turn into Mexico – our friends, our neighbors, to the south. Yes, they claim to be our friends. Sgt....

Is the Dam Breaking?
Monday, Sep 22, 2014

A frequent guest on my show is retired Gen. Paul Valliley. He usually discusses his wonderment at the silence of the Big Brass in the military who don’t agree with this administration’s game plan – or lack thereof as it pertains to the Middle East and ISIS. I started to say a few months back,...

Pledge Too Political?
Monday, Sep 15, 2014

Now I have heard it all. CBS Sports banned a commercial with a little girl reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The ad supported something very American – a televised rodeo – around Sept. 11. The little girl in the commercial was the granddaughter of the owner of the company running the ad. He...

Don Obama
Monday, Sep 8, 2014

Depending on the sound clip you find, you will hear President Obama say, “I will have the most transparent administration this country has ever seen,” and “transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstone of this administration.” (Insert cricket sounds here.) We have heard this line over...

Heil, Putin
Wednesday, Sep 3, 2014

Yes, Heil, Putin. Get used to it. Who’s going to stop him? Comrade Vlad came out recently and basically said Russia has nuclear weapons so we will do what we want, where we want, and your mouse of a president will do nothing. Remember that little slip last year when President Obama told then-President...

Happy American Dream Day
Monday, Sep 1, 2014

Most of you know today as Labor Day. What exactly is Labor Day? Sounds like a day to celebrate work, but it isn’t. Maybe it’s a day where we celebrate the ability for women to give birth? Nope, not that, either. Labor Day isn’t just a day off with pay. And it’s not barbecue at the beach or a...

Blood On Your Hands
Monday, Aug 25, 2014

Left-leaning news sources have been screaming about the death toll of children in the Middle East and all of the kids Israelis have killed. For them, collateral damage is unacceptable in any way. Even though the Jews have emailed, mailed, dropped leaflets, called and used loudspeakers in advance of planned...
