- Snarky POTUS… 2013-06-29Despite what the diehards on MSNBC and CNN would have you believe, the President’s poll numbers are dropping. No longer hovering around the 49 percent approval rating, they have now begun a marching decline, with the last RCP average at … Continue reading →patriot64

- POTUS knows best… 2013-06-25The science of “climate change” is debatable at best, and while curbing pollution should be an objective of any civilized nation, it mustn’t come solely at the expense of the economic stability necessary to pay for it. I am not writing today to debate … Continue reading →patriot64

The Rebranding of America…
I’ve taken a lot of heat for my criticism of the POTUS, albeit mostly from the constitutionally challenged and/or hypocrites filled with the very hate and intolerance they claim to abhor. Nevertheless, and as the president navigates an endless stream … 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
Press Corps punch lines…
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is entertaining if nothing else, although there is a coziness if you will, which clearly puts this POTUS at ease among a majority in the press. It was certainly a “nerd prom” nevertheless. I did pick up … Continue reading

Fallen Journalism…
Common sense dictates, that if you don’t believe the President and his re-election team intentionally misled the American people on Benghazi for political gain, then you’re probably a staunch partisan sycophant willing to swallow any and all ideological poison fed … Continue reading
Time is short…
As we look back through the ages, we always discover the evil ones attempting to re-write history. In extreme cases we’ve witnessed unimaginable genocide as a “final solution” to the propagandized threat of a dictatorial regime. Subsequently, bloody and costly wars … Continue reading
We have the government we elected…
The Bundy Ranch incident is symptomatic of a broader issue, and frankly something I’ve been predicting for quite a while. You see my fellow Americans, our system of government was never intended to function as such, and is collapsing under … Continue reading

This “Top Cop” is nothing of the sort…
The recent dust-up between Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Attorney General Eric Holder, is just another indicator of how bush-league the Obama bunch appears on any given day. Not only do they use our beloved Constitution as a punch-line in secret smoke-filled WH hide-a-ways, … Continue reading
Rhode Island politics as usual…
With an approval rating just shy of 27%, it’s hard to believe there’s not a viable candidate out there running against Congressman David Cicilline, (D) Rhode Island. I mean what does it say about the “Ocean State” when a man … Continue reading
Term limits anyone???
I heard Congressman Steny Hoyer on FOX trying to defend “Obamacare” this morning. Same old talking points. “College kids on their parents insurance, no exclusion for pre-existing conditions, blah, blah”. Bipartisan stuff from day-one. Oh, and don’t forget we reached … Continue reading

One need only read the letters and papers of the Framers to understand that our founding documents were written to empower individuals, not government. That premise frightens Liberal Progressives right out of their noggins. The raging debate over the Second … Continue reading

An exercise in ideology, at any cost…
I seem to recall the Obamabots screaming from the rafters that nearly 50 million Americans had no health insurance. Since then however, the facts have classified the difference between those who can’t afford insurance, illegals, and those, who for whatever … Continue reading

There is something to be said for the 24 hour news cycle, in terms of exposure to stories which might otherwise be obscured or intentionally buried. In the case of two young sisters who were part of a “Pro-Life” demonstration at … Continue reading
Journalistic Integrity, a dying attribute…
It is regrettable to note Sharyl Attkissons departure from CBS. Not because this good investigative reporter will have any problem finding work, (attention FOX), but rather because it speaks to the obvious decline in the integrity of “The Big Three”. I mean … Continue reading
Sheldon’s sleepover…
We have the highest unemployment numbers in the nation and a small business climate that alienates small business. We have one of the highest per state cost of living indexes, scaring our college graduates away as if Rhode Island were Chernobyl. … Continue reading

Free speech on the modern American Campus is not so free as one would think. Moreover, it usually only applies to “Liberal” free speech. That said, the recent flap over former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice speaking at Rutgers University, is … Continue reading
Wrong Commander in Chief for the job…
Understanding the actual role of this nation’s armed forces has proven difficult for the Obama Administration. It causes them to think about the potential for conflict, and this is outside the lines for the utopian crowd. You see, there would … Continue reading

It is certainly curious that Lois Lerner’s attorney has included immunity as a condition of her testimony. One could assume she has something to hide. (Really?) One could also reasonably assume she’s protecting someone else. (Really??) So far as I can … Continue reading

So let me understand this. We can no longer talk about God in the classroom, and our government legislates businesses owners must set aside their religious convictions. Those same elected officials facilitate and promote an entitlement society, devoid of personal … Continue reading

Politics trumps “We the People” once again, as we navigate the remainder of the Obama era – “error”. It seems now just in time for the next election(s), corporations and businesses will be allowed yet another reprieve, while individuals continue to be … Continue reading
Whitehouse’s clever memory lapse…
It seems one of the Obama Administrations biggest cheerleaders thinks Republicans want to “punish” the long term unemployed. Well someone should remind Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, how it is that unemployment in his tiny state has come to be … Continue reading

Listening to “School Boy” Jay Carney and Chairman of the CEA Jason Furman spin the CBO’s recent cost projections for Obamacare, was both disheartening and infuriating at the same time. I suppose this was actually a good thing however, … Continue reading

Healthcare for all???
So “School Boy Jay Carney”, (who’s trying desperately to look like a man with that beard), tells the WH Press Corps there are 2.1 million Americans enrolled in “Obamacare”. Really? Let’s take an honest look. 1. Insurance industry insiders are … Continue reading
