If it weren’t for double standards…

The “news” media fawning over this new president is downright nauseating. Having failed in every way to vet the events surrounding the 2020 elections with even a hint of journalistic credibility, they have now moved quickly to hail Biden as … Continue reading

The Devaluation of Humanity…

I stood clear of the abortion debate when I was younger, as folks very close to me identified with the “choice” side of the argument and I elected not to engage them. I should’ve been more vocal about the truth. … Continue reading

History (is) For Dummies…

History is the great educator, should we choose to embrace its lessons. The first two decades of the 21st Century have ushered in the consequences of raising a generation, educated by fools, absent the guidance of dying heroes and unwilling … Continue reading

Radical Trend…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. is the poster child for the new party of BHO, emotional, factually challenged and wholly unqualified to represent anyone or anything. Now we’ve had folks elected to high office in the past who couldn’t find their way … Continue reading

A perilous road ahead…

The soul of our nation is in peril and decent law-abiding Americans are needed in November to rescue it. All that is right about this republic is under assault by forces loosed during eight years of an ideologically driven president. … Continue reading

“Me thinks thou dost protest too much”…

It’s 2016, and our nation is wounded yet again by racial division. Only this time it appears to be political in its origins. To be sure, this country has seen its share of racial tension. Great men like Martin Luther … Continue reading

“Evidence, facts are on our side.” – President Obama…

On its face, one could say that statement was just political bluster, spewed by a failed and departing president in search of a legacy. But this is truly puzzling, and speaks to what many are now calling, President Barack Obama’s … 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

Is it race, or something more???

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

The midterm elections were a reminder of the ideological differences dividing our nation. They were also a reminder that overall, “We the People” will eventually catch on that we’re being bamboozled by those we elect to high office. Notwithstanding generational … Continue reading

President Obama can’t put aside his battle with Fox News. The problem is his presidency is so difficult to defend. The POTUS recently tweeted that “While affordable healthcare might still be a threat to freedom on Fox News, its working … Continue reading

Not so fast…

Hallelujah!! The last jobs report indicated around 288,000 jobs created, thus lowering the unemployment number to 6.3%. Good news, right? Context – 806,000 folks gave up looking for work and left the job market, lowering the labor participation rate to … Continue reading

Term limits anyone???
