Al Capone for President
Tuesday, Nov 8, 2016

A presidential ticket with Al Capone and Don Corleone could actually happen, based on the current state of moral values in this country. Lying, cheating and lawlessness are just another day in the life of an American politician – and we accept it. We actually accept it. President Obama’s approval...

Distract, Deny, Lie
Monday, Oct 24, 2016

That interweb is a real problem. Electrons race through the wired and wireless world, leaving evident traces behind. WikiLeaks and social media are making a real mess of our 2016 election cycle. Mind you, it’s a self-inflicted mess, but a mess nonetheless. Because of the interweb, information is instantaneous...

Fantasyland
Tuesday, Oct 4, 2016

We’ve got ‘em. Democrats are like a new puppy peeing all over itself when you first bring it home. They are all excited that Donald Trump used his knowledge of the broken tax system to take legal advantage of the tax code for his business. He claimed he lost more than $900 million in 1995. The dictionary...

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...

Hillary is Diseased
Tuesday, Sep 20, 2016

Let me start off by saying I don’t wish a disease or death on anyone. For those of you who really don’t have a grasp on reality, calling someone out on something doesn’t mean you’re wishing that upon them. Hillary Clinton has all the signs of a “pseudologia fantastica.” For instance, one...

Decision Fatigue
Friday, Sep 16, 2016

Hillary Clinton’s health is a prominent topic in the news these days. Her supporters are fiercely defensive and malign anyone who questions the true status of her physical fitness. Hillary’s “medical event” at the 9/11 memorial service has caused a lot of commotion. Clinton allies have been steadfast...

A Hollow Cry
Friday, Jul 29, 2016

Last week Republicans held their flag-waving convention. This week it’s the Democrats’ turn to cheer their party on. Predictably, there was a lot of sneering critique over the speeches at the Republican convention, and there’s plenty of print and pundits to say so, but as the Democrats’ convention...

Don’t Cross the Clintons
Tuesday, Jul 19, 2016

Recently, former U.N. President John Ashe died in an unfortunate gym accident. It seems his windpipe was crushed when he dropped the bar bell he was lifting – alone, with no one else in the room, and without the common sense to have someone watch him. Oh, did I forget to mention he was facing criminal...

Talk is Cheap (Not)
Friday, Apr 29, 2016

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...

Who’s the Real Hillary?
Friday, Apr 22, 2016

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...
