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...

McKeon: Obama Turned Blind Eye to Putin’s Violations
Friday, Aug 1, 2014

Rep. Buck McKeon [HASC] – House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. “Buck” McKeon (R-CA) made the following statement about President Obama’s admission that the Russian government is cheating on the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty: “It took two years...

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...

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...

Complainers
Friday, Jul 11, 2014

One of my readers keeps saying I complain a lot. I must agree with him. I have stated a few complaints in these little commentaries. That is why it is called op-ed. Opinion-editorial. I do wonder what his opinion is on some of the subjects I’ve picked. I had a teacher at Hart High who always complained....

Documentary Evidence

Once again, President Obama has been taken by surprise – and this time it’s the tsunami of illegal aliens flooding across the U.S. Border. Surprise? Hardly. Even Democrats are not denying the Obama administration knew of the looming flood as early as October 2013. Completely verifiable is that...

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...

Impeach
Thursday, Jun 12, 2014

I’m angry. I’m also extremely sad. Our country is once again divided in the worst kind of political battle. And worse, our president has violated the law. At the end of the American Revolution, representatives of England and the Untied States of America assembled and hammered out the terms of peace....

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,...
