Coach Joe Kennedy’s courage of conviction…

I believe the Bremerton High School flap over Assistant Coach Joe Kennedy praying on the field after football games is indicative of our nation’s current posture. Traditional and undeniable tenets of our culture are being shunned and vilified, all while … Continue reading

See, I told ya’ so…

I seem to remember lots of talk about this inexperienced and even unqualified upstart from Chicago wanting to be the President of the United States back in 2008. It was truly odd how a still wet behind the ears Senator, … Continue reading

So it’s “time to put the people back in charge” aye Mr. Speaker???

Well I thought that’s what you said you would do when you wrestled control of the House from the radical “Obamabots”. Oh, so it turns out you’ve done nothing since then, except maybe talk a little tough once and awhile … Continue reading

“Lives matter”…

Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman summed it up rather neatly when commenting on the murder of one of his deputies. He basically told a throng of reporters gathered to hear the latest information on the investigation into Harris County Sheriff’s … Continue reading

Pretty nice lookin’ boat aye Mr. President???

Isn’t it ironic that just as the POTUS is jetting around the country screaming about “climate change” while singlehandedly burning off more fossil fuel than a small city, the very real threat of China’s burgeoning Navy was shadowing him just … Continue reading

Prayer for the United States of America… (Originally posted in August of 2015)

(Considering all that’s going on around us in soon to be “post Obama” America, I felt compelled to re-post this…) Sitting on George Washington’s front lawn with my son generated a myriad of emotions in my brain and soul. Pride, awe, … Continue reading

Gentle Ben…

The Republican Debate lived up to all the hype and garnered FOX News yet another ratings bonanza. That said I only have one real take away from the seemingly very early exchange. All in both formats sounded practiced and polished … Continue reading

Simply not debatable…

For some insight on the “Planned Parenthood” story, here’s one I wrote for a great Christian Newspaper based in Little Compton, Rhode Island, “The Good News Today”. August 2015

That statement can be viewed through a lot of lenses. But in the case of this “Wells Report” it really gives me pause. Putting aside the opportunistic gibberish we’ve seen in the tabloids from the haters in New York, Miami … Continue reading

‘Shadow of crisis has passed’… Really?

Kudos to the Republicans for taking the highroad after last night’s State of the Union address. I have no such political desire today. As expected, the president embellished his record and misrepresented much of our nation’s current station to a … Continue reading

The issue of tension between police and minorities in this country is a double edge sword to be sure, with roots on both sides of the argument. But first the facts, as supported by all available evidence. On July 17, … Continue reading

Merry Christmas 2014???

Is there “racism” in our country? Yes, though that word speaks to an environment which hasn’t existed in the U.S. for some time. It’s more a broad brush/excuse, used by some of less than honorable intent, to paint an incomplete … Continue reading
