When Will Voting Taxpayers Learn?
Friday, Jun 2, 2017

Almost invariably, taxpaying voters fall for the same old lies. It’s a mystery. Our bureaucrats lie to us, and we take it in the wallet every time, yet the liars remain in office. While many of us are not fooled, the majority eats it up. Jerry Brown’s bullet train to nowhere. So far it has cost multi-millions...

New National Pastime
Friday, Apr 7, 2017

The headline is a total understatement. The mild “new national pastime” is the act of hating President Donald J. Trump. The words are mild and understated because “hate” isn’t an evil or deep enough word. After every presidential election, it exists that about one-half of the voters and citizens...

ObamaScare
Friday, Mar 24, 2017

The Obama-scared have switched roles. Before the 2010 Obamacare, “the scared” were the people who were satisfied with their insurance and healthcare. Now they are the ones utilizing certain components of Obamacare, especially if they’re on the side of entitlements and not paying the full costs. President...

Women Who Can’t March
Friday, Feb 17, 2017

Her name is Maryam Adam. She lives in Kano, Nigeria, and is married to Mohammed Umar. All of that might sound normal to women in America; it is anything but. Maryam married Mohammed when she was just 15 years old. She was his second wife, and she would be followed by wife No. 3, Jamola Idris, and No....

The new circus in town
Friday, Jan 20, 2017

It finally happened. The Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus is closing very shortly.  There’s nothing to fear over losing this circus because another is actively swelling to massive proportions. Hysteria and annihilation are the main attractions. It’s the Left’s Circus over...

Hoodlums and Headlines
Tuesday, Dec 27, 2016

It was a state of naiveté to think that Nov. 9, 2016 would bring to a close the fevered negativity and hyperbole of the loudest and often the most hateful. Expectations were that there would be grumbling and some would be vocal for a bit, but the sane among us never thought we’d be witnessing...

The Left’s Non-acceptance
Friday, Dec 9, 2016

Up to the day of the election, most people I encountered repeatedly expressed being overly saturated with the campaign videos, the repetitious verbiage, the negative trouncing, polls, unrelenting television commercials, main-stream media’s biased reporting, mailers, political taking heads. We were...

A History of Nasty
Friday, Oct 28, 2016

Words and visuals would show that the current presidential election is the nastiest ever. It’s a good bet that only a few, if anyone, would disagree with that; however, history gives a glimpse of past sully that was quite eventful for the times.   1800: Jefferson vs. Adams There was inherent tension...

Only in America
Friday, Oct 7, 2016

Much of the following content has been seen in various forms of emails that undoubtedly reached millions of people. The contents of each were billed as “Canada’s Top Ten List of America’s Stupidity.” I don’t know if it’s factually Canada’s claim, but I am sure it rings true with...

Selective Memory
Friday, Sep 30, 2016

Recently, syndicated columnists Cokie and Steve Roberts wrote an eye-catching commentary that attempted to humanize Hillary Clinton. Their story arises from a little-known website called HONY, Humans of New York, wherein Hillary claims when she tested for admittance to Harvard Law School (she graduated...
