The Perfect President
Monday, Jul 14, 2014

President Obama is our perfect president. He makes no mistakes and no bad decisions. Just ask him. He will tell you. Bad decisions are due either to “misspeaks” or to the GOP. This president has no business making decisions. His leadership skills are nonexistent. And before you go there (although...

Happy Birthday, America?
Monday, Jul 7, 2014

You know that awkward moment when you go to your wife’s aunt Mabel’s second cousin’s 96th birthday party? She is in a wheelchair, doesn’t really know who is in the room with her, and has to be fed and cleaned by others. Everyone remembers when she was a vibrant, smart and loving person, not always...

Communist America
Monday, Jun 30, 2014

This was a heavy news week. Tens of thousands of illegals trampled over our borders. Where is the president? Out campaigning. The head of the IRS knew about the missing or lost emails at the last hearing, yet said nothing. Where is the president? Out campaigning. Five nasty terrorists are released for...

$15 Death Sentence
Monday, Jun 23, 2014

Recently some cities have enacted a $15-per-hour minimum wage, piggybacking on the president signing a $10.10 minimum wage order for federal “vendors.” Not employees, just “vendors.” The cities decided they knew better and dealt a death blow to an already fragile economy. Many small businesses...

CVRA: Lowering the Voting Bar
Monday, Jun 16, 2014

California legislators have once again decided they know best. Instead of fixing our infrastructure, getting our debt under control, and making sure we aren’t the most welfare-friendly state in the union, they’ve come up with another drug-induced law called CVRA, the California Voting Rights Act...

America: Under New Ownership
Monday, Jun 9, 2014

This has been a very big news week with lots of stories to draw us away. Gwyneth Paltrow says water has feelings; Charlize Theron compares “press intrusion” to rape. Why do we give place to these morons? And Obama’s “Let’s get physical” workout recording. Even with all of that great news,...

Thought Police are Recruiting
Monday, Jun 2, 2014

I love receiving emails from people responding to issues posted on my website, both positive and negative. Some pieces are written by fellow hosts, bloggers and other writers, but all are issues worth discussing. I recently posted one about the “birther” issue. There are still investigations as to...

Political Correctness Can Be Deadly
Monday, May 26, 2014

This story is tragic … for the family of the victims and the shooter, and for a community that will be, for a time, trying to piece it all together. I mean no disrespect to the families, victims, doctors or responders to this event. Over the weekend, a disturbed young man killed six people (three...

PC: A Form of Hate
Friday, May 23, 2014

I am often accused of hate for many reasons. My stance on gay marriage, abortion, minimum wage, illegal immigration or the war on women. You know, all the hot buttons that immediately label you as a hater. So says “the tolerant group.” Interesting. By definition of the Left, a hater is one who doesn’t...

Not One Person Fired
Monday, May 12, 2014

When I was a kid (yes, when a tablet device was an Etch A Sketch) my Dad advised me to get a job with AT&T or Edison or the government. Why? Because they would be around forever and it’s nearly impossible to get fired, especially as a civil service or union member. Fast forward 30-some years only...
