Willful ignorance or just poor judgment…

On the one hand, Donald Trump clearly evokes an emotional response from the folks, both good and bad. Basically, he’s a really rich guy who wants to add the mantle of President of these United States to his résumé. As … Continue reading

The Hillary Factor…

I suppose one could ask the question this election cycle: “Are we better off now than we were eight years ago”? These days, the answer you’d receive would likely depend the respondent’s ideological leanings. Nevertheless, I would rephrase the question … Continue reading

Wrong message…

      We are living in extraordinary (and dangerous) times. And in the absence of competent leadership, we may be forever compromised as a people and as a culture. Gone are the days of solutions by way of reasonable … Continue reading

We’re all Americans…

Understanding the events in Orlando this past weekend is something which will require much time and prayer to be sure. The loss of so much humanity in one horrific action can stun the mind into utter disbelief. In these moments … Continue reading

The People’s Republic of San Jose…

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo is simply the poorest excuse for the people’s representative I can think of right at the moment. Immediately following violence perpetrated by a handful of thugs outside a Donald Trump rally in San Jose yesterday, … Continue reading

Trump and the media…

What does it mean to be “presidential”? Is it presidential to intentionally (and consistently) lie to “We the People” and then “reason” it away as if it doesn’t really matter? Is it presidential to use our Constitution, (the document he/she … Continue reading

These are the times…

As we are witnessing primary campaigns unprecedented in American history, I feel somewhat compelled to evaluate our current posture, if only for my own sanity… On the Republican side, front runner and bombastic businessman Donald Trump is clearly a media … Continue reading

I’ve had to listen to my fair share of die-hard Libs in my home state of Rhode Island tell me about how smart Hillary Clinton is, and how we’d be doing our children a great dis-service if we missed the … Continue reading

The elected senate majority must stand strong, for our children’s sake…

President Barack Obama is no stranger to the double-standard. His entire career has been an exercise in political smoke and mirrors. Moreover, I agree with Senator Marco Rubio’s assertion that this POTUS is not incompetent, but rather ideologically purpose driven … Continue reading

It seems no matter how many times we mark the passing of a prominent political figure, there’s always one politician who allows their personal/political bias and/or just plain ignorance to get in the way of basic respect and decorum. The … Continue reading

“Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!!!”

Now I’m not sure I’d call it terrorism as O’Reilly did on FOX’s “Outnumbered” the other day, at least not in the same vein as Islamic Terrorism. But I do suppose the constant threat of punitive litigation by the Progressive … Continue reading

Searching for my country, 12/7/1941 – 12/7/2015…

Denial is one thing, ideology is quite another. President Barack Obama is clearly of the latter category, and he makes no bones about it. So for those looking for the POTUS to run to the nearest lectern and state what … Continue reading

“Politicizing” the Second Amendment…
