OPINION / COMMENTARY / BLOGS
Revolution is Coming
Monday, Nov 24, 2014

Mr. Obama declared himself our emperor last week. Well, at least in so many words. You didn’t hear it? Of course you did, but it was thinly veiled, and you have to do a little work stringing it together. Just like Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tse-tung before him, Obama has been openly laying out his plan...

Strike 9, You’re Out
Monday, Nov 17, 2014

I believe in giving people many chances – as long as they are willing to work at correcting it. I’ve never fired anyone for making mistakes at work, as long as I knew we had properly instructed them in their duties, that they were working at making it better, and that the mistake, although possibly...

Stubborn Teenager
Monday, Nov 10, 2014

Don’t you feel like you’re dealing with a stubborn teenager every time you hear President Obama speak? Even his own party has started to look on him with disdain. He did nothing (thank God) to help his party win or keep seats, except raise money. We learned several things in this last election: You...

214 Days
Monday, Nov 3, 2014

President Obama has said he had a pen and a phone and would use them if Congress didn’t act. He insinuates Congress does nothing to help the American people. He seems to forget there are more than 380 bipartisan bills sitting on the desk of his top lapdog, Harry Reid, who refuses to bring them to the...

No Voter Fraud
Monday, Oct 27, 2014

If you want to see someone on the progressive left blow a gasket, talk about voter fraud. They will all you it doesn’t exist or it’s so small, it’s immeasurable. I say they can’t see the forest for the trees. The hard part about voter fraud is, you have to prove the person knew what he was doing...

Cronies Come Home to Roost
Monday, Oct 20, 2014

If you ever want to see real thug-style politics, look no further than the Obama administration. From day one, Obama has told us lobbyists would not be welcomed in Washington, D.C., and that cronyism would not be tolerated. But as I’ve said before, this White House has no real grasp of the English...

Purple Penguins
Monday, Oct 13, 2014

This story goes in my “Administrators Gone Wild” file. It seems a Nebraska school district is instructing its teachers not to use the terms “boys and girls,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “you guys” – you get the idea. Why? Because they don’t include gender non-confirming terminology...

5.9% Unemployment? Not
Monday, Oct 6, 2014

Government math takes on many forms. I think it’s the basis for Common Core math. In Common Core, 2 plus 2 plus 2 doesn’t always equal 6. Just like 18 percent of employable people in the U.S. equals a 5.9-percent unemployment rate. The 5.9-percent number is usually arrived at simply by looking at...

Our Unknown Soldier
Monday, Sep 29, 2014

At the time of this writing, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi will have been in jail six full months – 180 days. A soldier in the United States Marine Corps. His crime? Accidently making a wrong turn into Mexico – our friends, our neighbors, to the south. Yes, they claim to be our friends. Sgt....

Messina Makes List of 10 ‘Hottest’ U.S. Conservative Radio Hosts
Tuesday, Sep 23, 2014

Santa Clarita’s own Joe Messina has made the top-10 list of “hottest” conservative radio hosts – a list that’s topped by Rush Limbaugh in the No. 1 slot. Messina comes in at No. 8 on radio and No. 6 on the Internet. The list is compiled each year by the women of PolitiChicks. “Thanks...
