The Mayflower Compact
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—–
“We the People”
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

“The Ten Cannots”
1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. 2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 3. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. 4. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. 5. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 6. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. 7. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. 8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. 9. You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence. 10. And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

A tale of two senators…
Well here’s something I never thought I’d hear myself say. Truth is, I’m really admiring Senator Lindsey Graham’s new, forthright and in your face style these days, especially when asked about funding for “the wall” recently. In stark contrast however, … Continue reading
Christmas 2018!!!
It’s easy to look in any direction today and be discouraged. Washington is a sewer of power hungry, Godless folks and seems to get worse not better. A society once rooted in the strength of the family is now bending … Continue reading
Scary times for our posterity…
As we take stock of the circus that is the special counsel’s investigation into the Trump campaigns alleged collusion with Russia, as well as all the soap-opera shenanigans which have sprung from it, it’s hard to imagine “We the People” … Continue reading
The dumbing down of America…
As I’ve said many times, we get the government we elect. Thus is the case with New York’s 14th Congressional District and the election of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Now I’m sure we can all agree there are those walking the halls … Continue reading
“Hate corrodes the vessel which carries it”…
Former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson spoke graciously and with loving admiration, about the friend he had in the 41st President of the United States, accurately portraying a lifetime of service, honor and integrity. It was all the more poignant against … Continue reading
Gutter Politics…
The Kavanaugh hearings have been a shameful portrayal of civil government to our posterity. There is simply no debating this. There was a bright light however and it came from an unlikely source. In my view, Susan Collins, Republican Senator … 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
And two tier justice for all…
It’s obvious we now have a two tier justice system in this country. Our “Justice” Department is compromised by a small number of partisan players, angry at the outcome of a legitimate presidential election and abusing their positions to right … Continue reading

TDS – Trump Derangement Syndrome 101… Frankly, watching the behavior of Whoopi Goldberg on “The View” recently didn’t surprise me at all. But I did find myself in conversations the next day trying to explain why she appeared to come … Continue reading
Plain Speak…
So the president’s traveling abroad using plain speak that has some on the left reaching for their wine bottles, (and/or pacifiers). It appears his negotiating skill set is not in keeping with the Leftist’s ideas on diplomacy here in our … Continue reading
Generational Ignorance…
Generational Ignorance… Much has changed since the late 18th Century. One thing is indisputable however, in that while there were differing “political” opinions on the size and scope of any standing army or “militia”, the Founders believed collectively, that the … Continue reading
Trump Bashing 101…
Full version: For so long as I’ve been properly educated, I’ve always understood the American news media slants left. Nevertheless, my Korean War Veteran father and my mom also taught me civics and the basics of respect for the office … Continue reading
Hard Truth…
Looking on the unimaginable horror which unfolded in Broward County on Wednesday, it’s human nature to want answers. But those answers must be the correct ones. They mustn’t be feel good answers, fed to us by ideology driven politicians with … Continue reading

Truth by any other name… From “The Good News Today”…
Truth by any other name is still truth… By Fred Comella Slavery, indentured servitude, debt bondage, all scars on the soul of mankind. But they are as old as mankind too. And the sin they were born of is as … Continue reading
The culpability of the news media…
If you’re a student of American History, (and you should be), you would understand that the free press in our country have been active participants in the political discourse even before and as the United States was founded. You would … Continue reading
Another phony celebrity… Who’da thunk it???
Dear Ellen, You’ve always been one of those entertainers for me, who seemed comfortable in your own skin, tolerant, and focused primarily on your talent and performing. That said, I must admit it doesn’t take much for me to feel … Continue reading
Justice served…
There likely hasn’t been a more qualified SCOTUS nominee in quite some time, and yet most Senate Democrats are portraying Neil Gorsuch as some kind of radical monster. Thinking back to November 8th, I was hopeful of a turning point, … Continue reading
Rhode Island embarrassed again…
Why am I not surprised, that Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and at least a half-dozen other Democrats on Capitol Hill met with Sergey Kislyak? And why am I even less surprised that the ambassador was a frequent visitor to the Obama … Continue reading
It has come to this…
My political views are no secret. And they can be a source of some contentious debate at times. That said, a co-worker recently “joked” the other day, asking if it were I who’d purchased Hitler’s phone at auction recently. Now … Continue reading
American teamwork, a thing of the past???
I remember how I felt that clear September morning when I heard the news, and how I had to console my visibly shaken wife that night as we watched the horror of 9/11 unfold on the news. But I also … Continue reading
Serious sour grapes…
So the illustrious senator from Rhode Island decided to write an open letter to the President-Elect. This is my quick response. Open letter to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse: Senator, I recently read your letter to President-Elect Trump and much of the … Continue reading
Look in the mirror Lefties…
It’s no surprise “The New York Times” has ceased to be an objective source for today’s news, if it ever really was one to begin with. A recent story in the paper (10/27) by Ashley Parker and Nick Corasaniti only … 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
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 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
Irrational is a good word…
“Intellectually, these professors are no different than someone whose actions are defined by an irrational fear of sharks, witchcraft, or vaccines,” I believe (Students for Concealed Carry) got this right when addressing UT Dean of Architecture Fritz Steiner’s decision to … 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
And the print media is no exception…
It’s ironic, that on the day the POTUS will likely misrepresent the issue of firearms and the Second Amendment in his final “State of the Union” address to the Congress and the American people, so then does the PROJO plaster … Continue reading
Looking ahead…
I think it’s pretty clear that our president’s last year in office will tell us much about who the man really is, and what he really believes about these United States. I’d say it’s also pretty clear that 44 has … Continue reading
RI’s Lefty Broadcasters…

“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
“Get off my plane…”
Donald Trump was recently asked what his favorite movie portrayal of a president was. Trump responded with praise: “My favorite was Harrison Ford on the plane. I love Harrison Ford, and not just because he rents my properties. He stood … Continue reading
