- Living the numbers… 2013-07-06Richard Clark, owner of Supreme Janitorial Services in Jacksonville was speaking on one of the weekend news programs Saturday, and described his company as the “proverbial poster child” for the impending disaster that is “Obamacare”. A typical small business owner … Continue reading →patriot64

- 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

Factually speaking, “We the People” of the United States have done more to address the injustice of racism while promoting human equality … 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

Hailing from the state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation is always front and center when I engage a fellow Rhode Island voter in any political discussion. And the fact that my home state is likely the last … Continue reading
Executive overreach…
Indeed the number of executive orders issued by President Obama is less than those of the previous two presidents. However the number is not the issue, but rather it’s the ever broadening scope of the president’s executive actions which is … Continue reading

Emails of consequence…
In the tech world, the loss of emails as permanent records is almost impossible these days. So it’s no wonder those in the know are chuckling at the latest IRS excuse regarding Lois Lerner’s (and others) emails. For the committee … Continue reading

As we ponder the President’s war on fossil fuels and the catastrophic effect his recent (executive) efforts at regulation will have on the broader economy and jobs, I seem to remember a certain Mr. James Hansen speaking before Congress, and … Continue reading
No running from these “consequences of elections”…
The question of the president’s ideology and governing platform is surly no longer a matter for debate. With every manner of tactical avoidance, misstep, scandal, or just plain disregard for the checks and balances written into our founding documents, Mr. … Continue reading
What’s next???
Putting aside the obvious question of why are we now negotiating with terrorists, I think this latest White House stunt could very well cement the Obama Administration’s place in U.S. history as the most inept and corrupt ever. Moreover, if … Continue reading

Benghazi families exploited…
The battle lines have clearly been drawn and the Democrats have chosen the “phony scandal” philosophy, albeit with a twist this time. It seems they’ve decided to drag the Benghazi families into the fray. Now I’m sure I don’t have … 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

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

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

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
Community Organizer in Chief…
Watching this POTUS on any given day makes one yearn for an earlier time. Yesterday’s touchy-feely exposition with my Boston Red Sox, along with his self-righteous, gloating, and arrogant victory lap over the “Obamacare” enrollment numbers, demonstrate once again that … 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

In 1933, debates at Brown and Oxford University’s yielded surprising opinions and polls for the time. With Hitler making waves in Europe, more than half of those queried identified themselves as pacifists, with less than a third declaring they would … 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

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
