Conduct Unbecoming…

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

History 101… Ignorance is really dangerous…

During WWII more than 60 million lives were extinguished including as many as 1.5 million children. This accounted for nearly 3% of the world population in the early 1940’s. It was a time of false narratives and propaganda. Millions were … 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

The art of the “debate”…

We are truly living in defining times here in the U.S. While a flamboyant presidential candidate is ridiculed by the press for telling the truth, the present occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue redefines the word debate almost hourly, leaving many … Continue reading

So I’m watching the news and I hear Democrat Chris Murphy lauding stats from you guessed it, the “Every Town for Gun Safety” bunch, who are claiming a shooting a week occurs in schools across the country. Really? Well, not … Continue reading

So healthcare is finally revealed for what it is, a grand illusion performed by our president to a sleepy and complacent audience (us). Now I know I’m gonna catch heck for this one, but Mr. Obama operates much like a … Continue reading

Independence Day 2015…

It seems everywhere we turn these days less than honorable folks are attempting to re-write history and portray our nation as something evil. Even our so-called educators are now indoctrinating our children and filling their heads with false narratives, designed … Continue reading

The Confederate flag as most know it today actually has a number of variants, the most recognizable being the square battle flag adaptation, or the official and more rectangular Confederate flag. The commonly misused “stars and bars” phrase actually refers … Continue reading

Hitching a ride on a failed presidency…

Quite frankly, whether it’s the Administration’s failure to lead on really any level internationally, or the president’s own indifference to our military which provides for the freedoms we enjoy, I think it’s fair to say that the status of our … Continue reading

That statement can be viewed through a lot of lenses. But in the case of this “Wells Report” it really gives me pause. Putting aside the opportunistic gibberish we’ve seen in the tabloids from the haters in New York, Miami … Continue reading

Presidential faux pas… Again???

Once again the POTUS has taken the low road, this time during an NPR interview with Steve Inskeep, when he suggested Governor Scott Walker “bone-up” on his foreign policy. With all due respect to the office, Mr. Obama just can’t … Continue reading

Teaching the teachers…

The subject of patriotism came up on one of the talking-head cable shows today and a reference was made to the Lexington High School “American Pride” school dance. It seems school administrators, in all their infinite “wisdom”, thought a few folks … Continue reading

Someone referred to me as a “nut-job” recently because I watch FOX NEWS. This made me think wow, the Left apparently still has no answer for the “fair and balanced” thing, so they continue with this childish name-calling stuff. Truth … Continue reading

The much bigger picture…

In the broader sense, world history draws a detailed and obvious map should we of the 21st century choose to follow it. Much of the problem however comes when that history is shelved, revised, or otherwise ignored. In the more … Continue reading

Ideological foolishness at our expense…

To know history is to know the “Crusades” were far more than what modern Islam and even the president of the United States portray them as. In fact much of the time period should be viewed as an east/west defensive reaction to … Continue reading

‘Shadow of crisis has passed’… Really?

Kudos to the Republicans for taking the highroad after last night’s State of the Union address. I have no such political desire today. As expected, the president embellished his record and misrepresented much of our nation’s current station to a … Continue reading

“Boo-Yah!”… Stuart Scott, 1965 – 2015
