Paid to Leave
Friday, Jan 8, 2016

Jerry Powers is the name, and departing as a well-paid public employee with a titanic cloud over his head and huge financial compensation is the game. It’s the same-old, same-old for taxpayers. The L.A. County probation chief’s musical chair is incapable of being filled by a long-term, efficient...

Obama Does Not Care
Friday, Dec 18, 2015

Appearances are that most rational Americans are past asking questions like “where’s the outrage?” and “what will it take?” I’ve been open about not being a fan of Donald Trump, but his continuance to amass a flock is no mystery, considering the acts of – or more accurately, the non-acts...

Land of the Free
Friday, Nov 20, 2015

If you’ve ever wondered what kind of busy work the U. S. Government assigns its bloated number of employees to keep them on the rolls, here’s one example. Aside from anyone who might reside beneath a rock, there is no mystery to any thinking person why America has an illegal immigration problem....

Odom’s Bad Choices
Friday, Oct 23, 2015

The mainstream media didn’t fail to jump and quickly over-report on the latest antics of Lamar Odom. No doubt the salaciousness of the brothel component was a significant driving factor. One enthralled mainstream media outlet was the L.A. Times. For at least three days in a row, the Times inked...

Aye, Carly
Friday, Oct 9, 2015

There are nearly 13 months to go before the next presidential election. The negative flack will only intensify. Carly Fiorina is the piñata for “30,000 HP jobs going overseas” and for being fired as Hewlett Packard’s CEO (1999-2005). Both charges make good straw. Youthful New York Times columnist...

Give the Woman a Mirror
Friday, Sep 25, 2015

California’s U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer is retiring at age 75. The departure hasn’t tempered her hate for her onetime opponent and now-presidential candidate Carly Fiorina. Last week, Boxer’s wrath was one colossal exposure of hypocrisy and bitterness. Boxer claimed the following about her then-“landslide”...

The Disappointing Donald
Friday, Sep 4, 2015

Trump is disappointing because he possesses all of the right tools – a recognizable name, power, money and clear access to the dais and the microphone. But he continues to misuse all of them. Yes, it’s way past time to be outspoken and start taking the edge off of the ultra-liberal PC garbage...

The Art of the Deal
Friday, Aug 28, 2015

There was a time when the enemy was the Axis Powers. Then it was communism. Most thought the enemies were on the outside. After all, we were the United States of America. The most stalwart because we had a mighty military and a citizenship united in making us better tomorrow than were yesterday. We had...

Jessica and Megan
Friday, Aug 7, 2015

Last week California Sen. Sharon Runner wrote about the fate of SB54, which addresses those convicted of sex-offense crimes and their subsequent residency restrictions once they are released from incarceration. Runner stated her mission clearly: “The California Supreme Court decision (that ruled on...

Dodging the Issue
Friday, Jul 24, 2015

It’s been a journey of learning in listening to the mantra-of-the-moment from people or groups that have a pulpit for the topic of the minute. We had the theme of “connect the dots” from Nancy Pelosi some years ago over some now-forgotten, allocated conservative frailty and later it was Pelosi’s...
