SCV Mayors Prayer Breakfast to Feature Comedian (Video)
Saturday, Mar 1, 2014

[KHTS] – Santa Clarita Valley residents are invited to the 10th annual Mayors Prayer Breakfast on May 1 at the Hyatt Regency Valencia. “It’s a day for us to get together and pray for the community, pray for our first responders and pray for the people that run this place,” said Joe Messina,...

Parenting: Seinfeld Was Right
Monday, Feb 24, 2014

This one had my head spinning. I had to watch and listen twice. Now, I know, some might say this guy has issues of his own, but the audience was proof that he was on target. Jerry Seinfeld was on the new “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” and I am sure his audience was not a bunch of old folks. After...

Foul-mouthed and Faithless
Monday, Feb 17, 2014

Ever notice that when you strike up a conversation about faith or make faith remarks in front of those ignorant to faith, they either chuckle or make some snide remark? No, it doesn’t happen every time, but most of the time, it does. Every Friday on my radio show I do a segment called “Faith Fridays”...

Fool Me Once…
Monday, Feb 10, 2014

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 437,253 times, well… It’s not really 437,253 times, but it seems close. The president has “fudged,” “fibbed” or ”misspoken” – I mean, “lied” – so many times, we have lost count. Really. We live in such a politically correct world that...

Leftie Gun Logic
Monday, Feb 3, 2014

I stated in  a recent Facebook post that I was going to deal with the phony report, “Young Guns: A Diane Sawyer Special,” that ABC News was doing on its Sunday show. Someone responded: “I hope you’re not going to spin this the way I think you’re going to.” Me? Spin something? Why accuse...

Can’t Teach About N-word?
Monday, Jan 27, 2014

I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out what to write about that has nothing to do with the president’s lies, or the State of the Union propaganda we will be asked to buy on Tuesday, up to and including global cooling. No, make that global warming. No, wait, climate change. Yeah, that’s the...

I Pity New York
Monday, Jan 20, 2014

I guess it’s in my DNA, being from Boston. The rivalry between New York City and Boston is almost natural, as it is between the Angels and Dodgers in Southern California. However, being an American takes priority over being a Bostonian or a Republican. New York is one of the first things that pops...

Government Math 101a
Monday, Jan 13, 2014

No wonder our kids need remedial reading and math upon entering college in many states, and also why we are No. 47 in the world in math. The way the government works, numbers are not from another world, but from another dimension (insert “Twilight Zone” theme here). Just amazing. Nancy Pelosi says:...

School Board Member Involved in Injury Collision
Friday, Jan 10, 2014

Two collisions left two men hospitalized at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital on Friday, Sheriff’s Station officials said. Hart School District board member Joe Messina said he was driving eastbound on Creekside Road around 4:45 p.m. Friday when a bicyclist crossed the road in front of him. “This...

The 1600 Pennsylvania Street Gang
Monday, Jan 6, 2014

Many of you know I grew up in Boston. No, not outside of Boston. Not north of Boston. Not two hours from Boston. In Boston. I grew up in the days when the Mafia acted in plain view. They were powerful and didn’t care who saw what. They were above the law and knew it. They owned the law and the people...
