Practically everyone giggled or held their mouths agape when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president of the United States. Personally, I was taken aback. Trump was never my candidate of choice; my choice dropped out about halfway through. I became an observer. Since the campaign began, I’ve...

One of Hillary’s significant campaign themes is her feigned hatred of big business, Wall Street, and the “rich” 1 percent who cause wealth inequity. She also tosses in the high cost of college. Her persistent bashing of the aforementioned while inserting “greed” is the antithesis not only of...

There isn’t a single one of Hillary Clinton’s campaign talking points that is supported by her behavior. First is her “war on women” theme, paired with her history of pro-feminism — I am woman, hear me roar. Hillary’s “protecting females” stance is perplexing. Hillary made her new position...

Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tasheem Malik carried out a finely plotted plan to kill as many people as possible last December while the unsuspecting victims-to-be enjoyed a Christmas party on the premises of their employer in San Bernardino. Ultimately Farook and Malik killed 14 people and physically...

Last week I wrote about the obscene tuition costs to parents and students at such name-brand colleges as Berkeley and UCLA and the UC system in general.

It was a tad beguiling to see how the whole of liberal Hollywood would handle being in the shoes of conservatives. In...

The adage, “If it bleeds, it leads,” is also saying: “If it’s negative, it’s attractive.” I’m not the only one who’s really tired of the intentional negative. All of the major news channels, including cable, have so many shows under the umbrella of “news reporting,” coupled with numerous...

People will never agree on the propriety of the U.S. military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which was established in January 2002 as a result of the terrorist attacks upon the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. George W. Bush was president, and he faced a lot of criticism over detaining 775 terrorists...

President Obama works to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, citizens’ safety be damned. California falls right in line. Christopher Evans Hubbart is the infamous “Pillowcase Rapist” police desperately sought as early as 1972. His preferred targets were 20-something women, and his...
