Is the Dam Breaking?
Monday, Sep 22, 2014

A frequent guest on my show is retired Gen. Paul Valliley. He usually discusses his wonderment at the silence of the Big Brass in the military who don’t agree with this administration’s game plan – or lack thereof as it pertains to the Middle East and ISIS. I started to say a few months back,...

Pledge Too Political?
Monday, Sep 15, 2014

Now I have heard it all. CBS Sports banned a commercial with a little girl reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The ad supported something very American – a televised rodeo – around Sept. 11. The little girl in the commercial was the granddaughter of the owner of the company running the ad. He...

Don Obama
Monday, Sep 8, 2014

Depending on the sound clip you find, you will hear President Obama say, “I will have the most transparent administration this country has ever seen,” and “transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstone of this administration.” (Insert cricket sounds here.) We have heard this line over...

Heil, Putin
Wednesday, Sep 3, 2014

Yes, Heil, Putin. Get used to it. Who’s going to stop him? Comrade Vlad came out recently and basically said Russia has nuclear weapons so we will do what we want, where we want, and your mouse of a president will do nothing. Remember that little slip last year when President Obama told then-President...

Happy American Dream Day
Monday, Sep 1, 2014

Most of you know today as Labor Day. What exactly is Labor Day? Sounds like a day to celebrate work, but it isn’t. Maybe it’s a day where we celebrate the ability for women to give birth? Nope, not that, either. Labor Day isn’t just a day off with pay. And it’s not barbecue at the beach or a...

Blood On Your Hands
Monday, Aug 25, 2014

Left-leaning news sources have been screaming about the death toll of children in the Middle East and all of the kids Israelis have killed. For them, collateral damage is unacceptable in any way. Even though the Jews have emailed, mailed, dropped leaflets, called and used loudspeakers in advance of planned...

Its Israel’s Fault
Monday, Aug 11, 2014

So as soon as you pick yourself up off the floor, read the rest and I am sure I will make you mad all over again. The fight between Israel and Hamas is Israel’s fault, and I’ll tell you why. If you’re not interested in what I have to say or you believe I am full of malarkey or you just don’t...

Not a Women’s Health Issue
Monday, Aug 4, 2014

I have been saying, to the irritation of my friends on the left, that abortion has nothing to do with women’s health. One of the original questions the Supreme Court had to deal with in the 1970s when it approved this “slaughter law” was, when does life begin? Well, all of the academics and doctors...

Leader of Free World?
Monday, Jul 28, 2014

I have heard the term “leader of the free world” for years but never stopped to think about what “the free world” really meant. According to the dictionary: 1) The Free World is a Cold War–era term for the non-communist countries of the world. The free world included countries such as the United...

Say What You Mean
Tuesday, Jul 22, 2014

Are you a racist? Yes, you are. Good, I have your attention. I just wanted to see if I could get your attention by calling you a racist, since it’s what everyone else does. Today the word hardly holds any meaning. One group uses it to try to make another group feel bad or to get the attention of others...
