Thanksgiving 2015…

Our nation seems a dream of that which I remember growing up. Nothing was perfect to be sure. But that is as we know, an unrealistic expectation. I would ask though, where have our parent’s dreams gone? How did we … Continue reading

Coach Joe Kennedy’s courage of conviction…

I believe the Bremerton High School flap over Assistant Coach Joe Kennedy praying on the field after football games is indicative of our nation’s current posture. Traditional and undeniable tenets of our culture are being shunned and vilified, all while … Continue reading

#Americaindecline…

I love how pretty much the entire media circus is focused on the “hyper-partisan” nature of the Congressional hearings yesterday, but the fact that as our nation’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton bungled and then mislead the American people on … Continue reading

Nothing to see here folks. At least not until I’m elected…

I remember when our great nation would never have let the murder of those sent to represent our interests on foreign soil stand. I mean I always assumed retribution for a blind-sided and cowardly attack was coming. Not so I … Continue reading

“Politicizing” the Second Amendment…

I’m glad the POTUS finally came clean about how he “politicizes” tragedies for political gain, as if those of us paying attention didn’t already know that. Nevertheless, the argument over “gun control” is once again front and center, with the … Continue reading

See, I told ya’ so…

I seem to remember lots of talk about this inexperienced and even unqualified upstart from Chicago wanting to be the President of the United States back in 2008. It was truly odd how a still wet behind the ears Senator, … Continue reading

So it’s “time to put the people back in charge” aye Mr. Speaker???

Well I thought that’s what you said you would do when you wrestled control of the House from the radical “Obamabots”. Oh, so it turns out you’ve done nothing since then, except maybe talk a little tough once and awhile … Continue reading

The first citizen soldiers in the “War on Terror”…

For me it’s as if it were yesterday. Frankly, I’m not sure that my wife and I have ever truly recovered if you will. We watched in stunned horror as the face of our nation changed forever. We rushed to … Continue reading

“Lives matter”…

Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman summed it up rather neatly when commenting on the murder of one of his deputies. He basically told a throng of reporters gathered to hear the latest information on the investigation into Harris County Sheriff’s … Continue reading

Pretty nice lookin’ boat aye Mr. President???

Isn’t it ironic that just as the POTUS is jetting around the country screaming about “climate change” while singlehandedly burning off more fossil fuel than a small city, the very real threat of China’s burgeoning Navy was shadowing him just … Continue reading

Prayer for the United States of America… (Originally posted in August of 2015)

(Considering all that’s going on around us in soon to be “post Obama” America, I felt compelled to re-post this…) Sitting on George Washington’s front lawn with my son generated a myriad of emotions in my brain and soul. Pride, awe, … Continue reading

The Republican Debate lived up to all the hype and garnered FOX News yet another ratings bonanza. That said I only have one real take away from the seemingly very early exchange. All in both formats sounded practiced and polished … Continue reading

I tweeted that if the president’s comparison of Republicans to Iranian hardliners during a speech at American University yesterday was valid, then it could be said he and the Left were likely in collusion with ISIS. I’ve since pulled that … Continue reading

All is as it should be..?

There appears to be some confusion about our current status and/or policy for dealing with Islamic terrorism. Many on the Right believe our president is inept or simply blind to the threat. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Now … Continue reading

Presidential faux pas… Again???

‘Shadow of crisis has passed’… Really?
