Where’s the Dialogue?
Friday, Jul 17, 2015

It was nothing I intentionally set out to prove. I just watched the unfolding, so I’ll speak from my own personal experience. I’m not the only one who bears witness to the hollow cry of the “left” in their default position of “America needs a dialogue.” The truth is, dialogue is the...

No Photo-Op Here
Friday, Jul 10, 2015

Last week I asked if anyone recognized the name Jennifer Rivers. I doubt that many, if any, did. This week I ask you the same question about Amber Hailey. These women have a lot in common: (1) indescribable grief because their sons are both dead; (2) they were both innocent victims; (3) they were murdered...

Not Even a Footnote
Friday, Jul 3, 2015

Do you recognize the names Jennifer Rivers, Chuck Taylor or Tavin Price?  No? There’s no wonderment in that. Mainly because the names aren’t sexy and do not command celebrity faces in the cameras. Jennifer Rivers is a mom, Tavin Price is her son, and Chuck Taylor is the brand name on faddish sneakers. The...

Lies of Convenience
Friday, May 29, 2015

There is so much sludge in politics that a thinking mind would conclude no one needs to make anything up. In other words, lie. Not one side is immune from asserting the “stupid,” so why do certain people or sects feel the unhinged need to lie? There’s enough “stupid” out...

Hope and Change
Friday, May 1, 2015

This week Loretta Lynch was sworn in as Attorney General of the United States, replacing Eric Holder. Let’s hope for change, and for America’s sake, the replacement is a huge upgrade. Holder’s service was a dangerous and troublesome threat to the whole of America. No doubt Lynch holds many of the...

Wronging Women’s Rights
Friday, Apr 24, 2015

To a number of women, Hillary Rodham Clinton is the face of American feminism. She wears that proudly. So it’s rather noticeable now, with her ordination as the Democrats’ presidential candidate, that her theme has switched to championing for the “common folk.” Hillary is going to continue carrying...

A Culture of Cheating
Friday, Apr 17, 2015

When you were growing up, how did you know cheating was a bad thing, and thus you don’t do it? Or did you? Reading the headlines in recent years, it’s becoming clear that if parents and grandparents know it to be true, then they certainly are not passing on the message to the next generation. 2009,...

Turnaround Specialist?
Friday, Apr 3, 2015

Did you know there are reasons to love the IRS? Liberal L.A. Times writer Doyle McManus thinks so. It was actually quite fitting that his commentary was published on April Fools’ Day. It would be difficult to miss the irony. Here are some of McManus’ “cogent facts:” * “The IRS is becoming something...

Debbie’s Day Job
Friday, Mar 6, 2015

Last week’s topic was the recent statements of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, opining that he does not believe President Barack Obama loves this country as evidenced by this president’s own actions and words. The combination makes him appear as a critic of America more than a supporter. As...

Giuliani’s View
Friday, Feb 27, 2015

There are two reasons why I wish former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani had not said: “I do not believe – and I know this is a horrible thing to say – but I do not believe that the president loves America … (H)e doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought...
